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)

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…

EAT > Bellota, South Melbourne (18/20)

When people say to me where is your favourite restaurant, I struggle to name one. So many places bring something special to the dining experience. But when I get asked where is your favourite place to eat, I always say Bellota. Why? The food (which is always delicious), the incredible wine list (best in the…

EAT > The European, Spring Street Melbourne (17/20)

Step from the tram-swept bustle of Spring Street into The European and the years seem to slide away. The mosaic floors and bentwood chairs recall another era—a continental refuge under the colonnade, shadowed by the stately Parliament House. Here in the theatre district, Melbourne’s appetite for the Old World is enduring, and nowhere is it…

EAT > Harriot, Melbourne (17/20)

Set on the corner of King and Collins, Harriot is where Melbourne’s European ambitions shimmer brightest. Think discreet bon vivant, white tablecloths and all. Yet beneath the crisp linen and glass is a quietly restless soul, drawing whispers from Parisian bistros but thumping a resolutely Melbourne tune. Step inside and it’s luminous—a 60-seat ode to…

EAT > Society, Melbourne (17/20)

Amidst the sparkling towers of Collins Street, Society is less a restaurant and more a statement—one part art installation, one part theatre for the business set, and one part shimmering supper club. Enter and you’re enveloped by velvet, soft lamplight, and enough George Jensen flourishes to spark envy on a Paris catwalk. There’s a pulse…

EAT > Maison Bâtard, Melbourne (16/20)

Aspiring to Parisian grandeur is some what expected in Australia's French restaurants, but Maison Bâtard takes it to a new level, four of them actually. An unabashed, four-level reverie to la belle France, right on Bourke Street. It is here, amongst velvet, marble, and spirited conversation, that a chap might imagine himself on the Right…
