Sitting on Port Phillip Bay in Australia, with sweeping beaches on its doorstep, Victoria’s capital boasts a diverse cultural heritage that’s reflected in its myriad food hubs. You can grab an Italian meal in Carlton, or tuck into pho from more than a mile of Vietnamese eateries in Richmond. In the city centre, Lonsdale Street is home to an array of Greek restaurants, while Chinatown is known for its dumpling houses and karaoke bars. Some of the best fine dining and innovative restaurants in the country sit alongside beloved coffee spots in Fitzroy and St Kilda.
Melbourne is also great for retail therapy.
