EAT > Geralds Bar, Carlton (15/20)

Gerald’s Bar 2.0 on Lygon Street feels less like a “new” opening and more like a beloved neighbourhood institution stretching comfortably into a much bigger, grander suit (think Talking Heads) — same irreverent soul, and a lot more room to play. AMBIENCE > The new address—920 Lygon Street, in the old Enoteca Sileno building that…

EAT > Scopri, Carlton (18/20)

There are places that stay forever on your most reliable list. It takes a special mix of reliably fine food a warm and comfortable room, good acoustics and genuine service. Scopri remains one of those establishments that remains on our favourite list and is one of Melbourne’s most quietly assured Italian dining rooms: a…

EAT > Stallion, Mansfield Victoria (16/20)

Since the closing of Bounty in Bonnie Doon and BOS Taurus in Mansfield, the fine dining offerings in this alpine region have been very limited. Not to say you can’t get a good steak and there are gourmet pizza’s and Thai but nothing you would really say this is definitely worth visiting. But…

EAT > Cape, Cape Schank (17/20)

Cape Restaurant at RACV Cape Schanck remains one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most compelling reasons to drive that extra stretch of highway after dark: dinner here still feels like an occasion, but an unusually relaxed and generous one. AMBIENCE > Cape’s room is still that familiar dusk-toned amphitheatre of glass, timber and bottle-light, only now…

EAT > Ten Minutes by Tractor, Main Ridge (19/20)

Ten Minutes by Tractor has always felt like the Mornington Peninsula restaurant that most confidently blurs the line between winery dining room and serious destination restaurant; under new head chef Craig Lunn and an evolved wine program led by head sommelier Noah Rozenfeld, it now reads as a sharper, more self-assured version of itself. AMBIENCE…

EAT > Vinesmith, Melbourne (15/20)

Vinesmith is a rare thing in Melbourne’s CBD: a true city cellar door and more than that it actually feels tethered to the vineyards it pours, with a French‑leaning bistro upstairs that looks over Treasury Gardens and feels worlds away from the office towers below. It’s part wine bar, part bottle shop, part dining room,…

The perfect place for a drink afterwork that stays on for a sneaky weekday pasta or a full on party vibe feed me feast with friends. AMBIENCE > Kirbie…

EAT > L’Hôtel Gitan (17/20)

Step off bustling Commercial Road and into the warm embrace of l’hôtel gitan—a South Yarra institution by Jacques Reymond, where the Parisian spirit mingles with Melbourne’s urban edge. Housed in the bones of an old pub and radiating the unforced style and glamour that’s become Reymond’s signature, its polished floorboards, frosted glass, and curved…

EAT > Stokehouse, St Kilda (18/20)

Stokehouse is Melbourne’s definitive seaside address—a place where the city’s appetite for luxury, sun and salt converge in a breathtaking, glass-fronted pavilion perched above St Kilda beach. Days here roll from luminous lunches under blue skies to candlelit dinners set against dramatic sunsets and the rhythmic hush of surf below. It’s a restaurant that has…

EAT > Sorsi e Morsi, St Kilda (14/20)

Tucked just beyond the green hush of St Kilda’s Botanic Gardens, Sorsi e Morsi (Sips and Bites) feels like the kind of Italian neighbourhood escape that every suburb hopes for and few master. But this is St Kilda the former home of Melbournes more Bohemian set and today upwardly gentrified, which means every corner seems…
