The 38 Essential Melbourne Restaurants

"In the picturesque town of Cockatoo, an hour out of Melbourne, chef Jung Eun Chae welcomes guests into her home for a South Korean meal focused on fermentation, health, and seasonality. She makes everything from scratch — including kimchi, persimmon vinegar, and makgeolli — chats about her process with diners, and takes them through her garden and ferments collection. Online bookings are hard to come by for the six seats, so you’ll have to be committed to try this intimate experience." - Audrey Bourget, Sharlee Gibb
