Restaurants, Bars and Nightlife

Melbourne is a culinary capital, boasting award-winning restaurants, the very best bars, and a café scene that celebrates coffee like nowhere else. There’s something to suit every palate, at every hour of the day, so feast away.

Discover rooftop bars, cocktails down a laneway or beers at the pub, you’ll never be thirsty in Melbourne. Bar-hop like a local in the world’s most liveable city before dancing the night away at nightclubs featuring everything from jazz and hip-hop to trance and disco.

Cafés

Melbourne and coffee go hand in hand, and Melburnians love nothing more than a macchiato over brunch at their local café. Enjoy smashed avocado across the city and its neighbourhoods, with breakfast dining well into the afternoon a fixture on the weekend.
