2. Hospitality

RESTAURANTS
This list will be hard to limit as there are so many amazing options in Melbourne, however the below are some of the Melbourne institutions that any self-respecting Melbournian has gone to at least once.

In the mood for Italian food? Grossi Florentino or Pellegrini’s will hit the spot.

If your cravings are more focused on Asian delicacies, Melbourne has many, many options: Chin Chin (South-East Asian fusion) is very popular and doesn’t take bookings, expect to queue if you go on a Friday /Saturday night. Cookie (Thai) has a great atmosphere even if you just want a drink, however if the weather is nice and there are only two of you, be sure to ask for a balcony table. Hwaro Korean BBQ is great for small group catch ups or Supernormal (Japanese) for those with a refined palate. You can also take a walk-through Chinatown, located on Little Bourke St, to discover some of Melbourne best (and cheapest!) traditional Chinese restaurants.

Looking for content for your Instagram page? Then walk on over to Drumplings on Bourke Street. Drumplings desires to offer a new taste experience by connecting people to flavours from all over the world through a delicate, mouth-watering dumpling. Our personal favourites are the truffle mushroom dumplings and pork belly baos.

BARS
Lui Bar is a great option if you want to get a great view of Melbourne without paying top dollar at the Sky Deck, the drinks may be a little expensive though.

If gin is life, then the Gin Palace is for you! We also have the Berlin Bar that lets you in only once you have rung the doorbell. If you like Harry Potter and all things magical, do yourself a favour and try the wonderful cocktails at StoryVille.

Last but not least, in the long list of “hidden bars” Siglo Rooftop Bar has no signage and is just a wooden door you may think leads to someone’s house, but once in, you get sit down with a cigar and a fabulous view of Parliament House.

MAGICAL EXPERIENCE
Attend a potion class at the Wizard's Cauldron which mixes magic and mixology (cocktails). This Harry Potter 'experience' will take 90 minutes and will cost you A$55. Oh, but there is more… sip potions and hang out on the rooftop of a CBD pub a magical wizarding world awaits. Located atop Bourke Street's Imperial, it's filled with alcoholic potions, magical wintry booths, an owlery and a supernatural sweet store.

COFFEE
You may be wondering why coffee is entitled to its own section, that is because Melbournians are very much coffee snobs and whilst most places serve great coffee there are few who deserve to be singled out: Brother Baba Budan is the spot for that essential morning take away coffee, The League of Honest Coffee allows you to have a coffee whilst making a difference with their fair trade beans. Kit Espresso takes you down the Royal Arcade which is always worth a look.

Degraves Street is another coffee spot you shouldn’t miss as it is home to a huge range of cafes. With its Parisian-style laneway, it offers a variety of delicious coffee options and on-street dining.

RESTAURANTS
If you thought that the CBD offered great options, the suburbs is where the fun really starts. Some great restaurants to check out include The Abyssinian, Ethiopian cuisine, or the Vegie Bar in Collingwood. Last but not least, Naked for Satan in Fitzroy is a wonderful world of delicious tapas but be that they don’t take bookings and therefore you will need to pop your name down on the rooftop level and grab a drink on the ground floor whilst you wait.

If you have a special relationship with cheese and think it’s the best thing in the world, head on to Milk the Cow in either Carlton (European district) or St Kilda (not too far from the beach).

BARS
There are too many to choose from, but it you are in the vicinity of the Black Pearl in Fitzroy, Old Palm Liquor in Brunswick , Mr West in Footscray or Stomping Ground in Collingwood who brews their own beer.

COFFEE

Melbourne has emerged as the city with the world’s best coffee…according to a survey done by booking.com. You can grab a cup of the best coffee from any part of Melbourne so here’s your got-to guide to the great coffee spots outside of the CBD.

YARRA VALLEY
Less than an hour’s drive from Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is renowned for its vineyards, fine dining and quaint accommodation.

Get into the heart of the region by walking upstream along the Keppel Falls Walk, which lands you at a stunning waterfall. You can follow this with a trip through the TarraWarra Museum of Art , showcasing Australian works from the mid-20th century onwards.

MORNINGTON PENINSULA
The Mornington Peninsula is a favourite day getaway destination for the locals and we will tell you why... Start with a coffee at the Merchant & Maker or Store Fifteen before heading for a beachside trail linking the Cape Schanck Lighthouse and Point Nepean National Park. The thirty-kilometre walk is made up of a variety of different smaller walks, a mix of sandy beachfront, gravel tracks and rugged coastline, with a number of lookouts providing those picture-perfect panoramas. For a short walk, we recommend Capel Sound Bay Trail which includes Peninsula's famous colourful bathing boxes. Then, take your pick of drinking spots for the afternoon — perhaps at Montalto's sprawling restaurant and winery or the newly revamped Portsea Hotel.

DAYLESFORD
To unwind and be one with nature; make your way to Daylesford and the Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa. First, a climb up Mount Macedon which offers a good excuse to reward yourself with a post-hike brunch and coffee at Mr Macedon. Want the hike but not the baggage? Consider getting a llama to help you out. Hanging Rock Llama Treks will hook you up with your very own personal four-legged friend.

If you are looking to really unplug then we suggest disappearing into a dreamy world of purple haze and super-relaxing aromas at Lavandula, lavender farm. Then, venture on over for a soak in the famed mineral baths and cool off at Holgate Brewery in Woodend for a cold pint.

Hit the waters of Lake Bellfield and Lake Wartook for fishing or canoeing or take advantage of the rocky crags for rock climbing and abseiling.

Check out some of the best lookouts like Mount William that is accessible by car. At 1,167 metres, Mount William is the highest point in the park and provides great 360-degree views of mountain ranges and open plains. Energetic walkers will love Mount Sturgeon, which takes in water crossings, open woodland and rocky terrain. Once at the summit, revel in panoramic views of the surrounding ranges and volcanic plains.


Images: Visit Victoria

GREAT OCEAN ROAD
The Great Ocean Road is a 90-minute drive from Melbourne through rainforest and beach views and also a few attractions. Fuel up with breakfast and sweet treats from the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery, before a drive down to the iconic 12 Apostles. Dip your feet in the crystal clear waters at Loch Ard Gorge. If you are up for a trek, choose from routes like the seven-kilometre track between Castle Cove and Johanna which promises plenty of beach, a hidden lagoon and even the odd peregrine falcon sighting. On your way home, stop for a tapas feast at MoVida Lorne, or a craft pint and pizza at Blackman's Brewery in Torquay, and keep your eyes peeled for koalas and kangaroos that may make an appearance.

Images: Concrete Playground and Concrete Playground

PHILLIP ISLAND
Head on out to Melbourne's neighbour, Phillip Island, and surround yourself with nature and wildlife for the day. Start with some furry fun at the Koala Conservation Reserve, soak up the scent of eucalyptus and wander the natural Australian bushland woodlands. Then, pay a visit to the Penguin Parade as the island's resident little penguins are seen swimming from the ocean and waddling across the beach back to their nesting boxes, every night of the year after sunset.
