The 8 Best Restaurants in Melbourne
"Style / Ambiance: Featured among Elite Traveler’s Top 100 Restaurants in the World, Vue de Monde is a fixture on Melbourne’s fine dining scene. Chef Shannon Bennett serves four- and 10-course tasting menus in a recently renovated dining room situated 55 stories above the city. Those looking for an extra exclusive experience should book the Dom Perignon Room, a Joost Baker-designed private space that seats up to 14 guests."

"Shannon Bennett’s luxe restaurant began in an out-of-the-way Carlton terrace house way back at the dawn of the millennium, before relocating to a CBD laneway. In 2011, Vue De Monde settled into the Rialto tower’s 55th floor and recently scored two hats in the 2020 Good Food Guide. Take in the city views through walls of glass, then ponder the similarly breathtaking menu."

Where to Get the Best American Food in Melbourne
"Trunk Diner models itself on a New York-style diner, with a great indoor-outdoor dining area and a menu that’s part classic Americana, part Tex-Mex. For lunch, there are hot dogs like the Hillbilly or Chilli Cheese, plus a menu of quesadillas. For dinner, there’s BBQ pork ribs and buttermilk-fried chicken with sides like potato mash and apple slaw."

With classics that contain influences from international cuisines, you may just find the best burger in Melbourne here. The crispy fried chicken and brioche bun combination are revered by locals and burger lovers who travel from further afield for one of the best burger shops in Melbourne."

Melbourne Family Friendly Beaches for Kids Guide | Experience Oz
"Easily Melbourne's largest and most popular beach, a day out at St. Kilda beach is always a mixed bag in terms of what to expect. Popular with people from all walks of life (especially during the summer months) including those with kids, it is always a major drawcard for a ton of tourists, especially in comparison with some of the other beaches listed here, and is basically Melbourne's equivalent to a Manly or Bondi of Sydney beach fame. While St. Kilda beach has a fairly "seedy" reputation, many steps have been taken over the past decade or so to clean up its image and improve on the public perception, especially in terms of catering to families with kids, with the beachfront having been recently redeveloped."

Best Brunch in
"Tusk is a relaxed hangout spot on the corner of Chapel and Green Street ticking all the right brunch boxes. Sit at one of the outdoor tables and catch some rays (if the weather is right) or grab a cosy spot inside. We love their delicious (and very Insta-worthy) blueberry and mascarpone pancake stack and their tusk breakfast (a chorizo number)."
