Steakhouse: Macelleria
Aussies know how to cook a lean, mean steak—especially the chefs at Macelleria in Richmond. This butcher shop doubles as a steakhouse restaurant, and it serves one helluva a dry-aged beef steak. A super cool thing about this place is that you can pick your meat from the butcher shop and the chef will cook it right then and there. These guys are super transparent about where they get their meat from, so you’ll get a little lesson in Australian farming and agriculture during your visit.

Seafood: Miss Katie’s Crab Shack
Miss Katie’s Crab Shack brings American Southern-style seafood to Melbourne. Order a few oysters to get started: You've got your pick between natural and Southern-fried, which pair perfectly with the Bloody Mary shooters. The crab boil, another crowd-pleaser, comes with spicy pork sausage, potatoes, and corn. If you're up for sharing, you can opt to add clams, mussels, king prawns, oysters, or more crab to this build-your-own boil. Don’t forget the bib! A meal at this casual, nautical-themed restaurant is the best kind of messy.
