Diners are just as well served by Melbourne as clubbers are, and there is a wide choice of places for eating out in the city.
Because the city has so many different populations from all over the world, there are also a wide number of cuisines available around the city - from Chinatown in the centre, to Lygon Street with many Italian restaurants. And around the gay area, in South Yarra, you can find excellent bohemian cuisine with plenty of spicy paprika in it.
Another great Melbourne tradition is the pavement café, where you can get a great coffee and pastry throughout the day, and watch lazily ass the world goes by.
