Melbourne
Melbourne's restaurant scene is a delicious, multi-cuisine labyrinth that can't be easily boxed. Neighbourhood legacies sit alongside chef-led dining rooms, tiny independents and restaurants worth crossing suburbs for. Zareh stands out for Armenian-Lebanese cuisine, while Lee Ho Fook has earned recommendations for new-age Chinese cooking. Then there's Yiaga, a contemporary Australian dining room that's rightfully earned its accolades.
This list brings together Melbourne's best restaurants, based on recommendations from chefs, sommeliers, and tastemakers on Secondz, with rankings updated weekly as new recommendations come in. Whether you're looking for somewhere new tonight, planning a special dinner or simply want to know where people in hospitality actually eat, these are the Melbourne restaurants to have on your radar.
Sorted by recommendations from highest to lowest.
