The 33 Best Restaurants In Melbourne 2023

"The typical Australian burger is not like its American counterpart. Order one with "the lot" at a fish-and-chip shop and you'll get less cheese, more bacon, a fried eff, and a slice of beetroot. But at this Brunswick diner the burger leans more In-N-Out or Shake Shack than beachside takeaway joint. Juanita’s is actually a fried chicken joint, so there’s just one burger on the menu: a brisket patty stacked with american cheese, dill pickles, and honey-mustard mayo on a house bun. Of course, the free-range fried chook (we’ll let you use context clues to figure that nickname out) is exceptional, as are the pink Simpsons-esque donuts. Stop here before catching a live music show or bar-hopping around Brunswick." - ellen fraser
