"Lûmé may not have cracked the World's 50 Best list just yet, but the hugely ambitious fine-dining destination in South Melbourne is heading in the right direction, wowing Melburnians with its technical wizardry, ingenious ingredient pairings, and endearing sense of grandeur. The menu changes a lot, but some dishes tend to pop up again and again: The sea corn taco, filled with delicate crab custard and molded to look like corn kernels; squid with complex sauces; and "pearl on the seafloor," an oyster hidden beneath sesame "sand," royal-blue scampi roe, and other accoutrements." - Dan F. Stapleton
