- KKirstyMelbourne •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoHad another great lunch at Makan Indonesian restaurant in Melbourne CBD! The super friendly team made us feel welcome. Their lunch specials menu is delicious, with great meal sizes and plenty of options to choose from. I’ve had the sate, rendang, and gado-gado dishes before – all amazing! The restaurant is conveniently located on the ground floor of the 360 Collins St building – a bit hidden, but so worth finding! Definitely a go-to spot for a tasty and creative Balinese meal. 🌟More infoMakanPrice: Expensive• Indonesian• Melbourne CBD•4.7
- CAChrisAMelbourne •2 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoHidden down a cute laneway in an old motor garage is one of the very best Italian restaurants in the city ... actually, one of the best places to eat! Their Gnocco (atteptiser) is a fluffy savoury starter that never fails to get my guests to say "oh ... wow". Great sharing food (or don't share) and excellent wines (mostly Italian). Pastas are unique, the mains amazing. I visit regularly. Not cheap but certainly not over the top.More infoTrattoria EmiliaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Melbourne CBD•4.8
