For our last day in Melbourne, let's go on a gastronomic adventure as I take you to the various top food destinations in the city, from spend to save! Are you hungry? Then take a bite!
SPLURGE
HASH SPECIALTY COFFEE
Hardware street is one of the famous streets in Melbourne because it is lined with some of the best restaurants in the city like Hash Specialty Coffee. HSC's healthy, artisan approach to food made them one of the must- visit modern restaurant concepts in the city. My big favorite at Hash? Their special hot chocolate with fairy floss! Rich, creamy milk chocolate that you pour on top of the fairy floss; taste the symphony!
CHUCKLE PARK
At Little Collins street, you'll find one of the most instagrammable restaurants of Melbourne: Chuckle Park. This dreamy laneway bar serves tasty bar chow and cocktails; if you're in for a heavy meal, just go upstairs to the main restaurant.
Below are my favorites from Chuckle Park:
Almondigas soup
Elote (Mexican- style corn)
PINK FLAKE
If you head to St. Kilda, be sure to eat at Pink Flake, who unabashedly claims that they are the best fish and chips in town and I totally agree with that! Their grilled fish and chips (can be served fried too) is a super healthy and refreshing meal!
RMB CAFE
Just like Hardware st., Degraves st. is one of the popular foodie spots in the metro as well. RMB is an Italian restaurant that serves generously- sized dishes!
BRUNELLI'S
Just around Degraves st. is Brunelli's, one of the famous luxe dessert cafè's of Melbourne. They're pretty popular with their cakes and I got this sinfully sweet Rhum Cake and a fresh cup of coffee!
HARDWARE SOCIETY
If you're at Hardware st. and see a long line of people by a restaurant, that's probably it's Hardware Societé, a famous breakfast joint.
This is one of Hardware Societe's tasty creations, french toast with pudding OMG!
SAVE
AMERICAN DOUGHNUTS
Queen Victoria Market is a popular destination for foodies on a budget. If you see a food truck with a line, that's most likely it!
QUEEN VICTORIA MARKET STALLS
Melbourne's dry market, aside from selling meat, vegetables, and the likes, you will also find cheap food items here such as the huge 1AUD+ Borek sandwiches.
WALKER'S DOUGHNUTS
My favorite! Located at Flinders Lane, Walker's is a late night treat for those craving for something sweet; it's open for 24 hours and I love the jam- filled donut!
PERSIAN RESTAURANTS (HALAL SNACK PACK)
Around Flinders, you'll find small Persian and Chinese food shops selling super affordable food. Go for Halal Snack Packs (basically, it's shawarma rice), Borek, or Baklava.
NANDO'S
Melbourne''s version of Mang Inasal; grilled chicken basted with Nando's special marinade and sauces. It's so good and it's my comfort food when in Melbourne! Nando's flavorful chicken and yummy side dishes are sure to keep you bellies and hearts full!
PELLIGRINI'S
Located at Bourke st. near the Parliament House is a quaint Italian pastry and coffee café. Their coffee is full- bodied and delicious!!
SUSHI STANDS
If you are on a budget, look for Sushi stalls like this one for the 4AUD sushi rolls. It's a super affordable way to get full when in Melbourne!
That's the end of our Melbourne tour! I hope you enjoyed this and you've learned something new to inspire your next trips. Let me know which part of the virtual tour you loved the most!
