The 33 Best Restaurants In Melbourne 2023
"Few places celebrate Australian ingredients like Attica. It’s one of the country’s best restaurants (you might remember it from season one of Chef’s Table), so you’ll be booking and paying for the $360 degustation at least three months in advance. But that hefty price tag doesn't mean a typical fine dining experience—you won’t see any lobster or caviar on what can sometimes be a 20-course menu. More likely, you’ll find emu liver parfait, kelp-wrapped marron, or crocodile ribs on your plate (or the big flat rock or pile of grass that's subbing in as dishware).The vibe is more casual than you’d expect, with Patti Smith and The Brian Jonestown Massacre playing in the dining room, and street-art inspired works by local artists (including the chef) on the walls." - ellen fraser
