The best food and wine in the best locations
 When
you're in
Melbourne at Games time you'll find a vibrant, delicious and
varied cuisine with over 3000 restaurants showcasing a Commonwealth
– and more – of cuisines.
CBD
Head to the heart of Melbourne and choose from Italian,
Malaysian, Chinese, Greek, Indian, modern Australian and more. Visit
Melbourne’s Chinatown in Little Bourke Street for some dumplings,
Lonsdale Street for a Greek souvlaki or baklava, Federation Square
for a variety of cuisines, and in the laneways and arcades you’ll
find cafes, bars and casual dining.
St Kilda
Melbourne’s bayside suburb is home to cool bars, cafés,
restaurants and pubs that range from budget to upmarket. Walk along
Acland Street for coffee and cake or head to the waterfront for
dinner with a bay view.
Catch the 109 tram from Collins Street or Tram 96 from
Bourke Street.
Brunswick Street, Fitzroy
Melbourne’s bohemian quarter is the epitome of cool.
Great cafés and bars, often with live music, as well as lots of
restaurants make this area a great place for a night out.
Catch Tram 112 from Collins Street.
Lygon Street, Carlton
Lygon Street, Melbourne's Italian quarter, is where you
go to enjoy pasta and great coffee at institutions like Tiamo 1 and
Tiamo 2. For something sweeter visit Brunetti’s, an Italian cake
shop that offers delicious pastries.
Catch Tram 8 from Swanston Street.
Victoria Street, Richmond
Known as 'Little Saigon', Victoria Street is home to
Vietnamese restaurants and grocers and a great option for the budget
conscious. Drop in for a bowl of noodle soup or some fresh spring
rolls.
Catch Tram 109 from Collins Street.
Celebrate Victoria's food and wine
The best of local food and wine will be on show during
the Commonwealth Games as part of the Melbourne Food and Wine
Festival.
Catch Commonwealth chefs competing
The plaza of the Melbourne Museum will be bustling with
the rattle of pots and pans as Melbourne’s top chefs, each
representing a Commonwealth nation, lead their celebrity-studded
teams in a head to head challenge, the Culinary Pro Am of the
Commonwealth.
Get fresh produce from local producers
The Museum plaza will be food and wine heaven, with the
Victorian Producers’ Market displaying fresh produce and local
producers. Create your own picnic lunch menu or bring your trolley,
bag or basket and take home your goodies to enjoy another day.
You’ll find inspiration for what to cook at our free Regional
Champions’ stage and there'll be free roaming kids entertainment
from the Melbourne Museum and you won’t miss a moment of the Games
action thanks to the huge TV screen beaming all the live action
direct to the plaza.
