Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Frankston

"A two-hat restaurant and a Melbourne institution for nearly a century, Grossi Florentino is known for classic presentation, impeccable service and an indulgent Italian menu. Feast on veal, venison, duck breast or quail among the vintage Florentine murals. Order a fine wine and be sure to finish off with the famous chocolate soufflé."

"Established in the early twentieth century Grossi Florentino is one of the oldest fine dining restaurants in the Melbourne CBD area. When you go to Grossi, you enjoy more than food- and believe me, the food is good. You enjoy the love and passion of a culture steeped in service and honor."

"This three-storey love letter to Gippsland and its produce is by Alejandro Saravia, the chef behind CBD classic Pastuso. There's a deli with house-made pastrami rolls; a suave restaurant with a focus on cooking with flames; and a greenhouse-like rooftop oasis. 80 Collins 95 Exhibition Street,Melbourne"

"Located on Little Bourke Street within a small yet sophisticated laneway locale, Tipo 00 serves as a nice little reminder that eating spaghetti cooked al dente is good for the soul. Named after the finely ground flour used to make pizza and pasta, this venue takes an unfussy approach with clean, simple elements. Try one of the restaurant’s best-sellers including the squid-ink tagliolini or gnocchi with porcini mushrooms and braised duck."

"Enjoy Bottomless Brunch at Miss Kuku every Saturday and Sunday. The Sip & Graze package includes unlimited food and cocktails for two hours for $59 per person."

"I couldn’t do a Melbourne foodie guide without listing a place to get Steak in Melbourne. I’ve chosen Arcadia Hotel which is somewhere unexpected and quirky for a steak meal but it’s cheap, has live music, a sports area, reasonable drinks and a pool-table section. Most importantly, it’s the best steak I had in Melbourne."

"This little street kitchen seamlessly churns sensational fodder behind RMIT’s city campus. For those with a fear of meat, think of barbecue pork bao, chicken bao, and even a shiitake and tofu bao. Wonderbao is great for a lunch hit or for a quick cure to your three-thirty-itis cup of homemade soy milk."

"Nothing, especially when the vegetarian options are as good as those for meateaters. Grab one filled with fried silky tofu, coriander and crushed peanuts and your day will be complete. Did we mention they’re also a bargain at less than three bucks a bun."

"The food here has always been difficult to categorise, but is quintessentially Kazuki Tsuya's, who has evolved his menu to greater heights of refinement since opening his new address at the centre of the city. Start with the plentiful and intricate snack offerings, from a silken lick of taramasalata on a nori crisp bejewelled with salmon roe to an ethereal chicken liver macaron. Kazuki's mark is on everything, from the left-field brilliance of pickled mussels with meaty tomatoes to hapuka in yuzu-spiked beurre blanc with salty pops of avruga."

"Café Di Stasio is an Italian fine-dining institution and after more than 30 years at its Fitzroy Street location, this renowned restaurant and bar still holds decadent and timeless appeal. Here, long-serving white-jacketed waiters will offer that extra touch of service, whilst recalling an extensive list of house specialties like linguine with prawns, or home-made pasta with tomato, mozzarella and basil. As such, the restaurant has a faithful clientele and those in the know will swear by the seasonal two-course lunch with wine."

"If your perfect date resembles a scene from Lady and the Tramp, then this Italian trattoria is the perfect backdrop to your pasta-slurping fantasy. This St Kilda restaurant brings together owner Di Stasio’s dedication to the Melbourne hospitality scene, a love of avant guarde art and his familial home of Italy. For maximum commitment to the movie theme, share the Linguine Capri with prawns, parsley, lemons and (that all important ingredient) sunshine."
