Simon was fabulous! My husband and I spent our first evening in Melbourne with Simon eating some amazing food and enjoying Simon’s knowledge, kindness and humor. From Indian food to Cantonese, we ate until we waddled! Such a fun evening and lots of laughter!

Simon was an excellent guide and conversationalist who gave us a very enjoyable tour customised to our preferences. Introduced us to a broad range of delicious foods and first-time culinary experiences. Plenty of good provided. You will want to go back to some of the venues on subsequent nights! Thanks again Simon!

Simon was awesome and very accommodating to meet people’s preferences for food. He seemed to know where all the great restaurants were. Had some amazing food that I could never find on my own. Thanks Simon!

Highlights

A small-group food tour where you walk through Melbourne's Chinatown and city laneways, tasting 4 to 6 dishes. There is no set menu: a guide who knows Melbourne's food scene inside out picks the best spots of the day. Enjoy generous tastings, enough to replace a meal, such as handmade dumplings and dim sum (yum cha) in Chinatown, regional Chinese street food, and oysters, cheese and Indian dahi puri in the laneways. Choose the 11 AM departure for lunch or the 7 PM departure for dinner.

Program

Set off on a laneway food adventure
with a guide who knows Melbourne's best eats

Meet your guide at Gordon Reserve opposite the Hotel Windsor and walk 2-3 km over about 3 hours through Chinatown, Bourke Street Mall and the city's laneways. The 11 AM departure is a lunch tour and the 7 PM departure is a dinner tour; the route and format are the same.

Taste dumplings and dim sum in Chinatown

In Melbourne's historic Chinatown, taste handmade dumplings, dim sum (yum cha) featured in the Michelin Guide, and street food from different regions of China. There is no fixed menu; you'll enjoy generous tastings at 4 to 6 spots chosen by your guide on the day, enough to replace a meal.

Learn about Melbourne's food culture in the laneways

Stroll the laneways around Melbourne Central and Hosier Lane, tasting oysters, soft cheese, Indian dahi puri and more. Your guide explains how waves of migration and the network of narrow service lanes made Melbourne Australia's food capital, with plenty of time for questions.

Finish with dessert at Federation Square

The tour ends with dessert at Federation Square. You'll also receive a list of recommended restaurants, bars and cafés worth revisiting during your trip.
