Market Lane

Market Lane provides a welcome entryway to Chinatown from Bourke Street. The cobblestone laneway is home to big name restaurants, including HuTong Dumpling House (order the soup dumplings, and if you can manage it, some steamed, gelatinous pork belly), Bavarian beer house Hofbräuhaus (don’t forget your lederhosen) and Flower Drum, a five-star high-end Cantonese restaurant that’s stood the test of time.
