Highlights

Experience Melbourne's world-renowned food scene on this personalised progressive foodie tour through Chinatown, Hosier Lane, and hidden laneways.


Your local guide handpicks 4-6 venues based on what's exceptional - not a fixed itinerary.


Savour hand-folded dumplings at legendary Shan Dong Mama, Michelin-starred dim sum at Tim Ho Wan, or authentic Chinese street eats in vibrant Chinatown.


Navigate Melbourne's iconic laneways near Federation Square discovering Indian cuisine at Chapati, Thai specialties at Cookie, and Australia's freshest oysters at Muli Express - secret spots tucked behind Hosier Lane's famous street art.


Enjoy a complimentary wine, beer, or non-alcoholic option at a top-tier Melbourne venue while your guide shares stories of immigration waves and laneway culture that transformed this into a global food capital.


End on a sweet note with innovative ice cream from Hareruya Pantry or traditional Italian granita at historic Pellegrini's on Bourke Street.
