Melbourne Restaurants & Fine Dining

Melbourne is Australia's food and wine capital. The cultural and ethnic mix of Melbourne is very evident in the huge selection of international cuisines available throughout the city, especially in St. Kilda, South Yarra, and the Docklands precinct.

One of the effects of Australia's post war immigration boom is the growth of international restaurants throughout the country. Greek, Italian, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, French.... whatever your preference, you'll find a Melbourne restaurant to suit your taste and budget.

The largest Greek community in the world, outside of Greece, is to be found in Melbourne. The city has numerous fine restaurants that offer traditional Greek cuisine and specialities. Little Bourke Street lies at the centre of China Town, home of some of Australia's finest Chinese restaurants that offer everything from traditional Chinese banquets to take-away.

International cuisines There is a strong Italian influence in Melbourne and the city boasts some very fine Italian dining offering everything from traditional Italian cuisine to pizzerias and delicatessens.

In more recent times, Thai and Vietnamese restaurants have become an important part of the fine dining landscape and Melbourne is home to some of the best. The scope of this web site cannot accommodate a complete listing of all Melbourne restaurants.
