A bar high up in the Rialto building with incredible 360 views of Melbourne. It's very upmarket and has a price tag to match but definitely worth a look if you want to treat yourself. Ask for Lui bar at the concierge desk in the lobby and they will order a lift for you.

A wine bar with sweeping views of Parliament which is open from 5pm until very late. Look for the wooden door with no sign next to Spring street grocer then head up the stairs until you reach the very top. A great hidden spot!

Melbourne has a great small bar scene and the best ones are usually just out of view. Cabinet became a favourite of mine before I started hosting and was working in the city full time. Enjoy a wine on the balcony on a sunny day overlooking Swanston street.

All of the Italian! Don't eat or make eye contact with anyone south of Grattan Street. Definitely check out Tiamo II, DOC Pizza (just off Lygon) and DOC Pasta, The Vertue of the Coffee Drink (down a laneway, down a laneway - google it), Readings bookstore, Pidapipo Gelateria, Baker D Chirico (try the bombolone).

One of Melbourne's best restaurants by renowned chef Andrew McConnell. They don't take bookings so put your name down for a table and grab a drink nearby while you wait. Lamb shoulder is to die for.

Tucked away down a laneway off Collins street, this is my favourite restaurant in Melbourne. They have a formal dining section but I prefer to grab table in the walk-in section. My choice is always the meatballs on polenta mash. Too good!

Probably Melbourne's most famous restaurant. I recommend the 'feed me' menu so you can try a bit of everything. They don't take bookings but there's a great bar downstairs where you can enjoy a drink while you wait for a table. Great atmosphere!

My favourite burger joint which is largely to blame for starting the burger craze in Melbourne. It's only a five minute walk away and open until late so great for a quick bite if you arrive in the evening and are chasing something quick and satisfying. If you like chilli you will love the Denise and if you're starving go all out and get the Theo.

Flinders lane has a mixture of fine dining and accessible casual high-quality restaurants. Meatball and Wine Bar fits into the latter where you can walk in and choose your own meatball and sauce combo. I can never go past the chicken with pesto sauce on potato mash.

I spent some time in Mexico at the start of 2016 and still consider Mamasita the best Mexican, ever. Whatever you do, try the corn with parmesan. They don't take bookings and there is often a line out the door from 6pm until late. You can put your name down and grab a drink nearby while you wait for a table.

MoVida introduced the Spanish tapas scene to Melbourne and is still at the top of their game. My partner and I come here every anniversary because it's where I took her on our first date. We've had two so far so it did the trick! Definitely book ahead and try their spin-off MoVida Next Door or MoVida Aqui if you can't get in.

There are loads of dumplings houses in Melbourne. I've tried quite a few of them but always come back to HuTong because of their incredible quality and quick service. Famous for their Shao-long Bao and my favourite, Wontons with Hot Chilli Sauce. Book ahead if you don't want to wait too long for a table.
