Lune hot suburbs 

Pastry dreams do come true. If Melbourne’s iconic croissanterie is outside your 15km, you don’t need to miss out on buttery, flaky good times. Lune is doing ‘hot suburbs’ delivery spanning as far as Geelong. Hot suburbs are announced at 8:30am every morning on Instagram, three days in advance. Cross your fingers for your neighborhood to come up and you’ll be enjoying a lemon curd cruffin in no time.

Supernormal

Another beautiful Basque cheesecake comes from foodie legends Supernormal. Think perfect little bundles of caramelised, creamy goodness. Order on its own, or indulge in a luxe Asian-fusion banquet with cheesecake as the dessert of choice. Serves two, but we could easily demolish this one on our own.

Ima Project Cafe

Traditional Japanese breakfast sets are what Ima is known for. But they’ve also started stocking Sugar Nomad matcha cheesecake by the slice. Bittersweet with a touch of umami, this cake has the signature golden brown outer layer with matcha goodness hidden inside. Pre-order online then pop in for takeaway.

Melbourne Eats: Tipo 00 / Mamasita

Published

By

Tipo 00

Tipo 00, named after the finely ground flour used to make pizza and pasta, is owned by chef Andreas Papadakis – last seen in the kitchen at Vue de Monde – as well as head chef Alberto Fava (ex-Merchant) and Luke Skidmore. Papadakis cooks with the same ingredients and techniques acquired from his time in fine diners, but takes an unfussy approach with clean, simple elements here.

Location: 361 Little Bourke Street Melbourne 3000

Website: tipo00.com.au

 

Mamasita

Designer Sarah Townson of Anthology has warmed up the exposed-brick interior with fresh moss, antique mirrors, gothic chandeliers and burgundy banquettes, which line the wall opposite the bar. It’s stocked with all the makings of a classic Parisian cocktail spot (think dirty Martinis and French 75s) and an extensive selection of French and local wine.

Melbourne Eats: Coda / Florentino

Published

on

Coda

The clever use of space and the menu of mostly small sharing dishes gives Coda an energy as people pop in for a glass of wine and a couple of scallops, with the comfort of knowing that they can book a table for a Friday night should the want to. Coda is one of Melbourne’s best.

Location: Basement 141 Flinders Lane (corner Oliver Lane) Melbourne

Florentino

This classic Italian dining institution takes pride of place on the top level, upstairs from Florentino Grill and Cellar Bar down on the street. The menu format means every diner eats three courses. If you’re there to really lash out, which of course you are, choose the Gran Tour menu, a lavish five-course set-menu matched with wines from Australia, Italy and France.

Location: 80 Bourke Street Melbourne 3000

Melbourne Eats: Grill Americano / Smith St Bistrot

Published

Grill Americano

With Grill Americano, restaurateur Chris Lucas wasn’t looking to create another Italian restaurant. Melbourne had plenty of those already. Instead, his Italian steakhouse is a reimagining of the grills and brasseries prevalent in Melbourne throughout the ’60s and into the early ’80s. The menu’s centrepiece, though, is the grill section and its bistecca alla Fiorentina. A star of Tuscan cuisine, here it comes in the form of a 1.2-kilogram T-bone cooked over charcoal and doused in sea salt and rosemary.
