Melbourne : Where And What To Eat

Victoria 's capital and Australia 's premier ‘wine city', Melbourne has a well-deserved reputation for offering a superb food and wine experience. Chic restaurants serving a variety of cuisine types, inspirational chefs and a lively café scene, not to mention an array of boutique wineries circling the city, are just some of the reasons why Melbourne is considered the height of gastronomic excellence. There is an abundance of affordable, high quality restaurants representing almost every cuisine — though Mexican is a notable weak point. While prices have increased in recent years, eating out remains noticeably cheaper than in Western Europe or the United States .

Excellent eateries can be found sprinkled throughout all of the inner suburbs (and many of the outer ones, too). There are dozens of shopping strips which boast numerous worthwhile choices.
