Beaumont and Rhys’s Melbourne guidebook
Best eats
Our favourite restaurants in Melbourne. Great food, and great experiences! Some start around $65pp for a "feed me" menu (which we always recommend) - others are a bit more expensive but worthwhile.
Sunda Dining
18 Punch LnOne of Melbourne's best! The Vegemite curry roti is exceptional
Everything here is amazing. We only got through the first half of the menu and can't wait to go back!
ARU Restaurant
268 Little Collins StreetEverything here is amazing. We only got through the first half of the menu and can't wait to go back!

The food is stunning - the staff are great! Our friend is a winemaker and his Chardonnay is stocked here - Scieppan! It's the best Chardonnay you'll ever try.

Often a bit of a wait to get in... but put your name down and have a few cocktails at the bar, or try some of the other bars down the street
