For Big Groups: Hofbräuhaus
Hofbräuhaus has been sitting in the same Melbourne Central Business District location since 1968. Stepping into this restaurant is like stepping into an Oktoberfest tent—the decorations, uniforms, and menu are Bavarian to its core, including the seating. Hofbräuhaus has those super long benches that are ideal for socializing with a big group of friends. You’ll have to make a reservation ahead of time.

Café: The Hardware Société
Coffee culture is huge in Melbourne, and one of the best cafés in the city is The Hardware Société. The food is seasonal, so the menu changes from time to time. If the chorizo-baked eggs are available when you’re there, dig in! The potatoes, peppers, cheese, sausage, and eggs are baked to perfection, giving way to a hearty breakfast meal. It’s not only the food, though; the relaxed, breezy, Parisian atmosphere makes The Hardware Société worth a visit.
