Where to eat out in Melbourne

Butcher´s Diner

10, Bourke St, Melbourne, 3000
Despite its name Butcher´s Diner is not really just for carnivores. Open twenty-four-seven, the diner is kind of a new kid on the block in Melbourne’s Central Business District. However, the fact that its open 24/7 gives you an excuse to have an affordable steak for breakfast or lunch. While a large portion of the menu is meat based, the diner offers some excellent vegetarian options such as the classic golden grilled cheese toastie. Another must try option is the tofu noodle salad. While there are clear European leanings in the menu, you will find hints of American, Chinese and even Japanese influences.

Miznon

59, Hardware Ln, Melbourne, 3000
Miznon located down Hardware Lane is an established and popular Israeli eatery. Here classic Israeli dishes get a bit of a twist. For instance traditional pita fillings such as hummus and pickled cabbage are virtually non existent at Miznon. Rather a classic falafel dish is turned out as a ´falafel burger´ with inclusions of pickle, tomato and sour cream. The classic French dish of Rataouille at this little eatery is given a second life – caramelised onions and eggplant along with a pairing of a half boiled egg, and tahini. Vegetarian pitas usually hover around the $11 mark.

The Turf Bar
