Living in Melbourne

Melbournians really love their food, and in particular their coffee. Melbourne is known throughout Australia for its excellent fresh food and world-class restaurants with a huge range of cuisines. There are relaxed cafes, great pub food, cheap and cheerful take-aways and restaurants with food from around the world. "Modern Australian" cuisine relies on fresh ingredients, in particular meat, seafood and vegetables, and is influenced by Asian flavours. Many supermarkets are open 24 hours.
