After taking a yearlong hiatus in 2020, the largely Eurocentric international guide has released its third post-pandemic guide for California, and thus the City of Angels. Ditto for the Legal District, in the city’s north-west quarter, with its strong contingent of Italian restaurants.Let’s be real: Could a French tire company really encapsulate what good dining in Los Angeles entails? Apparently, they’re still going to try. Nonetheless, the West End is home to a good number of exciting new eateries and established favourites. Restaurants are sparser at the west end of Flinders Lane, around Southern Cross Station. Look around here if you’re planning a date night or special occasion. Sharp, relatively pricey restaurants – and lots of them – dominate this south-east corner of the city. The East End Theatre District, aka the “Paris End” of Collins Street, is a bastion of old Melbourne architecture and money. Visit for outstanding dumplings, hand-pulled noodles, hotpot and more. There are more than 130 restaurants listed below, which is the number we feel is necessary to really do justice to the CBD’s plethora of restaurants.īusy Chinatown, centered on the corner of Swanston and Little Bourke in the CBD’s north-east quarter, is flush with the expected Chinese restaurants, but also many other types. Whatever your budget, occasion or preferred cuisine, this guide can help. Many are high end, catering to business people and affluent theatregoers, but the big student population also means an abundance of cheap places for pizza, dumplings, ramen and more. There’s an enormous concentration of restaurants in Melbourne’s CBD, as in the centre of any big city.
