Melbourne’s CBD contains the greatest density of businesses and residences of any area in Victoria. According to the 2016 Census, 80 per cent of the residents in the city were born outside of Australia, with most immigrants coming from Asia. There is a mix of young urban professionals and students who live in the CBD, which has lead to a significant rise of cheap, regional Chinese restaurants opening up in the vicinity of RMIT and Melbourne University. A vibrant, 24-hour city, Melbourne City is home to the Arts Centre, Forum Theatre, State Library of Victoria, the NGV, Flinders Street Station, the famed Queen Victoria Market as well as many late night bars and eateries – some of which occupy former brothels, electrical substations and even toilets.
Start your food journey with Sunda, where the Vegemite Curry Roti is the summation of its playful approach to Malaysian, Indonesian and Vietnamese cuisine. Then move through legendary casual diner Cumulus Inc, free-ranging Gallic eatery French Saloon and benchmark-setting Spanish outpost MoVida. Wash it all down with a perfectly poured cocktail at one of the City's unique laneway bars such as the inimitable Bar Americano. From hidden gems to quirky icons, these establishments and their own ‘signature searches’ represent the character and diversity that make each part of Melbourne so special.
