What Are The Ideal Lunch In Melbourne Food Experience?

When it comes to lunch, the majority of the time one can find you either eating at their desk or consuming something rapidly in the kitchen, right? (Don't feel bad about us; we're just as guilty as you are...)

Finally, we can say goodbye to our sad, terrible lunches and hello to Melbourne's best lunch offers. An easy and fast option for lunch? That's an offer we can't refuse.

Perhaps you need to impress a potential customer with a meal in a central location. You might be a busy professional in need of a restaurant that consistently delivers high-quality dishes and friendly, prompt service. Or maybe you're just a tourist in the centre of Melbourne looking for the kind of restaurant that Melburnians eat day in, day out.

Lunch In Melbourne Food Experience

Melbourne locals really know how to have a good meal! It's for this reason that we are thrilled to introduce you to some of the best lunch spots in Melbourne.

Since when is there anything better than a long lunch with the gals in Melbourne, whether on the weekend or during the week?

It was difficult to compile this list due to the abundance of Melbourne's lunch options. Don't worry though; we want to keep exploring the city and suburbs in search of the best lunch spot, so we may update this guide in the near future.

Akaiito

In Akaiito, you'll find luxurious grey banquettes, dark granite floors, and ominous black marble. But even these pales in comparison to the glowing red thread work that winds its way over the dining room ceiling and plunges into the basement bar. The crimson thread represents Akai, a common motif in Japanese mythology that links those who are meant to meet. It can bend in every direction without ever breaking.

The omakase (chef's choice) menu at Akaiito is the greatest way to try all the restaurant has to offer. You can grab a seat at one of the 18 counters that surround the open kitchen and enjoy a menu that is customised for each reservation.

You may begin with some clam miso soup. Start with skewered sot-l'y-laisse (French for chicken oyster, the two small oval-shaped bits of meat on either side of the backbone) Following that, try robata-grilled marron with kombu butter or tempura scampi with scampi caviar. Alternatively, you might have shiromi (white fish) tartare with horseradish cream, finger lime, and a drop or two of tea tree oil.

The omakase experience is entertaining, but if you prefer more control over your meal, the a la carte menu is excellent as well. Wagyu, shiitake, and pine nuts are fried together with salty cod roe to create a bursting candy sensation that you must try.

When you order sake, you'll be given a selection of hand-crafted glasses to drink it from. On the other hand, there is a selection of wines from Australia, New Zealand, and France available by the glass or bottle. The Smoking Gun, a cocktail created with Laphroaig whisky and a lot of theatrical flourishes, is a standout on the short and sweet cocktail menu at the basement bar.

Brooks

You probably know that Brooks has one of the best restaurants in Melbourne, but we're just as crazy about their insane lunch special. For just $33, you can eat two courses, or for $48 (we'll opt for three courses - the more of Brooks' food we can get on hands-on, the better! ), you can eat three courses. One of Melbourne's greatest restaurants, Brooks serves delicious dishes made with premium ingredients from the state, including Flinders Island lamb and organic cheeses from L'Artisan Cheese. You can quench your thirst and appease your caffeine demands with unlimited coffee and mineral water.

Asado 

The Melbourne South American restaurant scene is mostly controlled by the people behind San Telmo, Pastuso, and Palermo. In their restaurants, you can always count on grilled meats, bold flavours, and cowhide. The domain name was updated in August 2018 to include Asado.

The other three eateries also have a homey, country vibe thanks to the decor and trinkets the co-owners brought back from Argentina.

However, behind the massive red neon sign advertising Asado on Southbank's polished concrete promenade, you'll find a contemporary dining room furnished in tan leather and devoid of any knickknacks. Asado feels more like a shining hotel bar, with every detail matching a theme, while the similarly concentrated whole-beast BBQ restaurant Mjlner invests in unique handmade steak knives. Every knife at the table is branded with the Asado name, for instance.

With a total of 250 seats (indoor and outdoor), a private dining room, and a takeout sandwich store opposite a wall of Argentinian wines, Asado is significantly larger than its similar venues.

Asado is more focused on Spanish cuisine than the more traditional dishes of San Telmo, Pastuso, and Palermo, which pay homage to Argentina's Italian heritage.

As an appetiser, try the salt cod croquettes, the charred baby octopus, or the artichoke hearts, which are chunky and creamy and paired with cherry tomatoes and vinegar, a meal that will transport you to the marketplaces of southern Spain. After a day in the brine and 12 hours in the oven, beef tongues are thinly cut, skewered, and flame-grilled over a very hot, A fine-mesh grill, akin to a Japanese Hibachi.

A unique stainless steel Asado fire pit is used for outdoor barbecuing in Argentina, while the parrilla, pronounced "pa-RI-sha," is a flat grill over coals that is utilised for almost half of the extensive menu. Two full animals, or more (like chickens or veggies), can fit on the rack above the fire pit.

The 2017 addition to the group's restaurant roster, Palermo, was the first to have an Asado fire pit and parrilla. Ollie Gould, previously of Stokehouse, is now an accomplished asador after serving as executive chef there (pit-master).

Each serving of the extremely juicy pork includes a variety of cuts, such as ribs, belly, some loin, and squares of crackling on top.

O'Connor beef flank steak, eye fillet, and bone-in strip loin all need around 10 minutes to cook over a parrilla. Grilled carrots with a thick black bar mark are served with goat curd and black cabbage cream, while other vegetables like Padron peppers and entire onions roasted in their skins are also prepared on the parrilla.

GG Restaurant 

GG Restaurant is a European-inspired café located on Clarendon Street in East Melbourne, across Fitzroy Gardens and just minutes from the CBD. They serve a variety of pizzas, pastas, and delicious shared platters.

Their two-course lunch special is fantastic; for $25, you can feast on lamb kofta with dill yoghurt and coriander vinaigrette, candied pine nuts, watermelon salad with Yarra Valley feta, and basil, or, our personal favourite, rotisserie meats with hand-cut chips. Yum!

Journal Cafe

Journal Cafe on Flinders Lane has been one of our favourite CBD cafes for a long time, so it's no surprise that they also have a great lunch special. The "Soupwich" costs $11 and consists of half a cheese and tomato toastie and half a bowl of the soup of the day. Say it with me now: scrumptious! Haven in the wintertime equals two of our most prized foods.

Butchers Diner

A meat market, diner, and takeout service all rolled into one, Butchers Diner is open late.

After a night out on the town, if you find yourself in the Central Business District (CBD) craving $5 worth of saturated fat and regretting it at 3 a.m., you should probably keep on going. If, however, you're in the market for a burger topped with blood sausage and devilled eggs, your search is over.

The long, curved orange bench and the red and grey tile floors are reminiscent of a classic American restaurant. A big meat cabinet stores rows of high-quality beef farther inside.

As Con Christopoulos's in-house butcher, Simon Poole, needed a dedicated location for boning, he made the original purchase. The latter is responsible for all meat at French Saloon, Neapoli, and The European, Christopoulos's other restaurants. From then, the idea progressed.

Milk-bun burgers, creole fish cutlets roasted over charcoal, Coney Island chilli dogs, Yakitori-style cow tongue, livers, gizzards, and duck hearts join Greek pork skewers offered and crusty bread rolls.

The upstairs dining area and event space is more country chic than royal. It has a high ceiling made of various timbers and a little roof courtyard accessible by an ancient stained-glass gateway decorated with flowers. Try the egg burger with bacon or the New York special of filter coffee with a cinnamon and caramel scroll for breakfast. Alternatively, you might get a dim sim for $2.20.

Bottega

Bottega, one of Melbourne's greatest Italian restaurants, offers a fantastic lunch special: two dishes for $45 (choose between an entrée and main meal or a main course and dessert), or all three courses for $55. We're pigs, so we always get the whole three courses, but with fresh pasta prepared in-house, tender cuts of buttery meat, and mind-blowing sweets (the tiramisu is a must!), who can blame us?!

Bar Carlo

An authentic taste of Italy right in the heart of the Central Business District, Bar Carlo is a must-visit. After work, the large bar quickly becomes crowded. The bar's refrigerator features hunks of prosciutto and cheese for customers to snack on. Customers get complimentary appetisers while they sip spritz and wine.

Snacks of bread covered with various meats, cheeses, veggies, and tapenades are served around the table. Cicchetti are a type of sliced bread snack that may be purchased for $2 each. According to Alana Sabbadini, the proprietor, the Cicchetti toppings change nightly, and once the bread is gone, that's it.

You'll find the usual suspects, such as Campari and Aperol spritz, but you'll also find bottles of Leone, a local aperitif crafted in Bassano del Grappa, a little village at the foot of the Alps. It falls between Aperol and Campari, being neither as sweet nor as bitter as either, or is only sometimes found outside of Northern Italy.

Sabbadini recommends it in a Mojito, but it also goes well in a spritz, tonic, ginger ale, or soda. It has proven to be rather popular thus far. Nardini grappa, produced at the same location since 1779, is another regional favourite. There are three types of grappa produced by Nardini, along with gin, vermouth, and amaro liqueur.

This bar serves an Italian breakfast for those who are in town for the day. Traditional panini fillings for lunch include tomato and mozzarella or prosciutto, Asiago cheese, and grilled peppers. Savour & Grace in Kensington supplies the meats and cheeses, while Dench Bakers supplies the bread and pastries. When you're ready to move on from your spritz, try one of the many Italian wines offered by the glass. Peroni, Birra Moretti, and the local favourite Furphy are just a few of the Italian beers that are available. Even though Meyers Place, one of Melbourne's first laneway pubs, shut down in 2017 after 23 years in business, it's easy to forget that Bar Carlo now occupies the space.

The Waiters Restaurant, an equally venerable Melbourne institution, was founded by Sabbadini's grandfather, Carlo, and is located directly above the bar you're currently in (the "Bar Carlo"). The Waiters are still owned by Sabbadini's uncle. Her mother works all day at Bar Carlo, preparing meals for customers.

Tres A Cinco

The Mexican chef lived and worked in Australia for a total of seven years, putting in five of those years with the Movida establishments. However, she, like many other foreign visa holders, was not eligible for government help during Melbourne's 2020 shutdowns.

The initiative was titled after the Mexican term for a fixed price menu, and it consisted of a series of takeout food packs centred around her traditional Mexican cuisine during those times.

As a result of its overwhelming success, Castillo was offered the position of executive chef at Tres a Cinco, a Mexican bar and café where she could permanently display her most celebrated secret recipes.

You can find it just next to Movida on Hosier Lane, where Bar Tini used to be, a Camorra hangout with a Spanish flair. But Castillo sees Tres a Cinco as more than simply an occasion to showcase her culinary skills. She uses this as an opportunity to highlight the diversity and depth of Mexican cuisine across the country. So, her menu is an eclectic mix of regional Mexican specialities. There is also a taco from the Yucatán Peninsula that is filled with pulled pork simmered in orange juice and achiote paste, as well as a vegetarian option with fried cauliflower and pico de gallo.

You can also count on some of Castillo's all-time favourite dishes, such the chilaquiles rojos, which is a flavour explosion of pan-fried tortilla chips smothered in hot red chilli sauce, feta cheese, and a fried egg. The restaurant serves the classic Mexican breakfast all day long. Tamales, steaming bundles of masa (maize dough) packed with shrimp and chorizo, and amazing, a corn (off the cob) snack with aioli and lime, are also popular. Both the chocolate flan and the lemon Carlota, a riff on Castillo's favourite dessert from his youth in Mexico, are served as dessert.

There's also a carefully curated drinks menu. Except for two spritzes, all of the twenty-odd cocktails feature tequila or mezcal (includes 8 variations on the classic Margarita). Nonetheless, the best part is the extensive selection of spirits. Sotol, raicilla, and pechuga are a few of the other agave-distilled beverages available here, in addition to the more well-known tequila and mezcal.

BangPop

One of the first things you'll notice if you happen to stumble into South Wharf's newest addition is the aroma. Taking the place of the Sharing House, BangPop features the intense aromas of a Thai street market and is the brainchild of a seasoned restaurateur. In its place, a lively vibe evocative of Bangkok's teeming street hawker booths has replaced the European flavour.

BangPop has reimagined the waterfront location by painting it pink, laying down Astroturf in the outside dining area, and filling the walls with a collection of bikes. However, the distinctive Lego bar remains from the previous tenant.

Similarly, to the communal tables, the meal is meant to be shared amongst many. With the punchy menu separated into seven sections - small meals, larger plates, noodles, rice, hot salads and sweets – this is not one to tackle on your own. It's meant to be consumed communally, and you'll probably want to sample a variety of dishes. Dishes are bursting with flavour from ingredients like chilli, garlic, ginger, and lime.

Pad Thai and Penang, as well as creative tapas and salads, are also on the menu. All come in big, communal bowls with a variety of condiments to add zip, chill, sweetness, and bite to your meal.

BangPop is always bustling with activity, despite being considerably larger than the Asian restaurants we're used to visiting. They are committed to providing high-quality, genuine, casual Thai street cuisine to Melbourne's big, collective table at prices that are affordable to most people.

+39 Pizzeria And Antipasteria

The simple black and white storefront on Little Bourke Street, with the clean +39 sign swinging outside, may be enough for some people. The ambitious prefix for international calls to Italy, "Pizzeria," and "Antipasteria" were added by the owner.

The modest facility doubles as a cafe during the day, serving up piadinas, paninis, fairly priced pizzas, and a few different types of pasta. A roaring pizza oven puffs up the pizza dough to a fine crumb, making it the ideal foundation for topping combinations like the Tirolese, which features melty mozzarella, mascarpone, caramelised leek, and speck. Can't get out of the office? The venue offers CBD-wide delivery services.

But if pizza isn't your thing, don't worry; +39 also serves up fantastic antipasti, spaghetti, salads, risottos, and sweets by the plateful. Small details, like providing a grinder with a square of Parmigiano-Reggiano for every table because we all know that asking for additional parmesan is annoying, may go a long way towards making a meal go off without a hitch. Toorak's 100-seater iteration followed in 2016, keeping the same pizza menu and the same rustic, home-pantry vibe.

Golden Gate Hotel

Here's one for the steak lovers: The Golden Gate Hotel in South Melbourne has daily $10 steak specials. Yep – $10. On a daily basis. WINNEN! No, that's not a lunch special, but for this price, we'd be crazy not to try it!

Taxi Kitchen

Once the crown jewel of Fed Square's eating scene, the once-fancy Taxi Dining Room changed its name and focus in 2014 to the more approachable Taxi Kitchen. The space still offers one of the best in Melbourne, a nearly 360º panoramic view of the city, but with a strong shift towards more accessible pricing, it is now slightly more affordable for more people to enjoy it.

Taxi Kitchen caters to a younger demographic by being quicker and fresher than its competitors, and it welcomes anybody passing through the CBD area, including visitors, casual eaters, and spill-over from other locations in Fed Square.

While the majority of the menu consists of European-inspired Australian fare, dishes like candied pork with coconut and red chilli sauce or "Classic" Szechuan duck with Vietnamese mint are not to be missed. Food is categorised as "S," "M," or "L," and it is suggested that you share. We also provide a chef's tasting menu. If you're looking to unwind with a glass of wine while taking in the scenery, you'll be pleased to know that the short but well-curated list has you covered.

The Lui Bar

In search of a restaurant with a breathtaking panorama for lunch? The Vue de Monde group's Lui Bar fits the bill perfectly. Currently, the food of the day at Lui Bar is BBQ beef ribs with coleslaw (drool), and the 'Counter Meal,' which also includes a glass of wine or beer, coffee, and dessert, is one of the greatest lunch offers in Melbourne. What is it? It's $39, and that's just too wonderful to pass up! What about the panorama in Rialto? Priceless.

Café Vue

If you want a more mobile lunch option, the $18 lunchbox at Café Vue is a great choice. Here, you may take away a whole meal consisting of an appetiser, a salad, a savoury entrée, and a sweet all in one convenient box. Don't feel left out if you're vegan or gluten-free; Café Vue offers lunchboxes for you, too! Here, everyone triumphs.

Dohtonbori

Dohtonbori is an okonomiyaki restaurant in Japan (savoury Japanese pancakes). The façade of the restaurants is decorated with a slatted awning, timber fencing, worn-looking tiles, and a few outdoor tables and banquettes, all of which are meant to evoke the streets of Osaka's oldest areas.

Similarly traditional is the interior, which features shji (paper screen panels) around semi-private booths, shelves stacked with bottles of sake, luxurious leather chairs, and hanging fixtures that mimic paper fans. There are three distinct okonomiyaki preparations available here. To start, there's the original, Hiroshimayaki (Hiroshima-style), which consists of thin batter, fried yakisoba noodles, shredded cabbage, and a crispy egg; and then there's monjayaki, which is similar to the original but stickier and gooier due to the addition of dashi to the batter.

A hot plate is placed in the centre of the table, and either you or a member of the staff will cook the okonomiyaki right in front of your eyes. You may customise them however you like by adding toppings like okonomiyaki sauce, Kewpie mayo, dried seaweed, and bonito flakes, or by spending an extra $3 to get cheese. 

There are two all-you-can-eat packages available, and you may also order à la carte. A la carte okonomiyaki is available for $49. For an extra $5, you can upgrade to teppanyaki-cooked meats and seafood such as Wagyu, Kurobuta pork belly, and lobster tails. There are a variety of Japanese brews to choose from, including a special Dohtonbori edition green matcha beer. You can also choose from a short list of drinks with a Japanese twist.

Gradi Crown

There are now two of the owner's Italian restaurants in Melbourne, 400 Gradi in Brunswick East and 90 Secondi in Docklands. His Margherita Verace pizza took first place in the 2014 Campionato Mondiale Della Pizza in Italy. Gradi Crown serves this award-winner, along with other authentic seafood and pasta dishes that highlight the flavours of Naples.

Di Francesco does not believe that since Crown is owned by a multinational corporation that it is an inferior location for a high-calibre dining experience. While it's not quite up to the standards of a fine-dining restaurant, Gradi Crown nonetheless delivers the kind of service and quality that have made it a favourite among Melbourne locals.

When fully staffed, the space can accommodate 330 customers. Customers may easily go from one dining area to another as they stroll through the many spaces designer Di Francesco has set up. Grade features a bar, a traditional Cicchetti bar, a communal dining area, private event rooms, quiet nooks, and a sizable, open kitchen where guests can see the Napolitano pizza-making process unfold.

Conclusion

Locals choose Melbourne's best lunch venues. The omakase (chef's choice) meal is a great way to explore Akaiito. Asado is Melbourne's latest South American restaurant. Brooks serves gourmet food made with Flinders Island lamb and organic cheeses from Victoria. A la carte and omakase are both good.

Argentina uses a Hibachi-style fine-mesh grill for an outdoor barbeque. Asador Ollie Gould is Palermo's executive chef (pit master) and former Stokehouse cook. Bottega, one of Melbourne's greatest Italian restaurants, offers two dinners for $45 or three for $55. Bar Carlo brings Italy to the CBD. Aperitif Leo comes from Bassano del Grappa.

Nardini grappa, brewed locally since 1779, is another favourite. Peroni, Birra Moretti, and Furphy are served. The menu's distinctive combination of regional Mexican specialities includes pulled pork tacos baked in orange juice and achiote sauce. +39 serves pasta, salad, risotto, antipasti, and dessert. The Golden Gate Hotel in South Melbourne offers daily $10-per-pound steak specials.

Melbourne's finest lunch deal is Taxi Kitchen's Counter Meal. Cafe Vue's lunch boxes have everything you need to eat on the road. Watch your okonomiyaki being made. Wagyu, Kurobuta pig belly, lobster tails, and other teppanyaki meats and seafood cost $5.
