Taxi Kitchen reinvented itself from Taxi Dining Room a year ago, and is less heavy linen and long wine list now, more rustic chic and stylish small serves. The best view from a Melbourne restaurant.

Red Spice Road is almost next door to the apartment, in McKillop Street, off Bourke. A very well regarded and large Asian restaurant, it wins awards frequently, and stays the same, determinedly.

There are 3 Movidas in the city, but choose the original Hosier Lane one. It's housed in the most graffiti-ed (and tourist-ed) Melbourne laneway, and oozes ambience. Bookings are tight, but try.

The iconic Degraves Espresso hasn't changed in 10 years. The red leather drop-down theatre seats, the long bench at the window, the Strong Coffee, the hipster staff. Oh so very Melbourne. You must.

Crépes, in all guises. Michaël's French accent is thick, and not loosening, despite him having lived here for 10 years. He's a Hardware Lane Institution. Good coffee, too.

There's the cellar, the grill, and upstairs: the cellar is a great lunch venue, sophisticated, slick and suave, upstairs is a two hat affair, and you need to save up. The grill doesn't quite work.
