Stop 4 - Bohemian
With talented Head Chef Lorenzo Casu at the helm, the restaurant takes guests on a gastronomic journey through Spain. Bohemian's 5 hour braised beef cheek was our absolute favourite dish of the evening. The beef cheek was tender and delicious, with caramel undertones courtesy of being slow-braised. The cheeks fell away at the weight of our spoons whilst still retaining their integrity. The parsnip puree, vegetable escabeche and flower crisp was were the perfect accompaniments.

An elegant and modern Tokyo-style bar, Akachochin serves authentic Japanese cuisine presented in a modern way. Akachochin presented a creative dish of Salmon and avocado oshizushi. Pressed salmon sushi was served with salmon roe and smashed avocado and onion salsa sushi was served with finger lime. It was an interesting take on the usual Japanese options found around town.

Stop 2 - BangPop
In a market where casual dining is in vogue, BangPop assimilates perfectly. BangPop is an excellent South Wharf restaurant serving well executed and wonderfully balanced food with bold, attention-grabbing flavours. We enjoyed BangPop's Gu Jub Yuan a subtle pork broth with flavoursome prawn wontons and dropped rice noodles.

Read MoreWe adored our brunch at Providence Cafe where Head Chef Cate Hardman showcases her passion for seasonal ingredients and cooking.
The menu features produce from Victoria’s farmers markets. Cate brings her modern touch to traditional cookery (think sumptuous bacon and egg pies and lip-smacking breakfast berry clafoutis).
The coffee is excellent. As are the delicious range of juices.
What can you say about Gazi that hasn't been said. There is a reason that long after it's opening, it is still difficult to secure a table at this very generously sized restaurant.
And, like the venue itself, the food is generously proportioned. On our visits we have found the dishes to be executed wonderfully using fresh produce. It can only be described as comfort cooking on steroids and it is why we are sure to return again. And again. And again.
Saint Barry is a great haunt for locals to enjoy wine and a good brew over shared dishes.

The Eton Mess is a dish that manages to taste even better than it looks. Tart natural yoghurt together with fresh berries combine with textural freeze dried berries, strawberry gel, spice meringue and creamy coconut gel. We loved how the flavours worked well together producing a wonderfully balanced dish with bold, attention-grabbing flavours.
The waffles were equally as good. Perfectly made - crisp and well-browned on the outside with a moist, light, airy and fluffy inside. They were the perfect canvas for lemon curd, meringue and freeze dried berries. Yum!
