It\u2019s a city where chefs celebrate tradition while also putting their own creative spin on classic dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll discover incredible food, hear the stories behind the dishes, enjoy exclusive menu items and explore parts of Melbourne\u2019s dining scene you might never have found on your own. Whether you\u2019re a local or visiting the city, it\u2019s an experience that celebrates why Melbourne is one of Australia\u2019s great food destinations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
