New crew on the strip, but the food is wonderful! Go in pairs and do the steak - you won't regret it. An excellent outdoor area and great value wine list make it a well-rounded experience.

From the creators of Milk and Honey in NYC, this bar is the ultimate in sophisticated drinking. Old fashioneds are their thing, but the martinis and bellinis are hard to pass up.

As everything gets more expensive in Australia (if you're coming from overseas you'll know instantly I mean), Rue de Fleurus, is a gem. $5 pints of Australia's best beer and cider every night? Tops.

Shopping
My favourite shop in Melbourne! It's so lush and the colours and smells are to die for. Surprisingly competitive prices too, though they're very happy for you to just have a browse.
