Description

Experience Melbourne's world-renowned food scene on this personalized 3-hour progressive dinner tour through Chinatown, Hosier Lane, and hidden laneways. Unlike fixed-itinerary tours, your passionate local guide handpicks 4-6 exceptional venues nightly based on what's seasonal and perfectly matched to your group. Begin in vibrant Chinatown at its evening peak, savoring hand-folded dumplings at legendary Shan Dong Mama, Michelin-starred dim sum at Tim Ho Wan, or authentic Chinese street eats. Navigate Melbourne's iconic laneways near Federation Square, discovering Indian specialties at Chapati, Thai cuisine at Cookie, and Australia's freshest oysters at Muli Express—secret spots tucked behind Hosier Lane's famous street art that you'd walk past without a guide. Enjoy your included drink (wine, beer, or non-alcoholic) at a top-tier Melbourne venue while hearing fascinating stories about the immigration waves and laneway culture that transformed this city into a global food capital. End on a sweet note with innovative ice cream from Hareruya Pantry or traditional Italian granita at historic Pellegrini's on Bourke Street. With a maximum of 8 guests, this intimate small-group tour ensures personalized attention and authentic local connections. Come hungry—these tastings replace the need for dinner. Perfect for food lovers and anyone wanting to eat like a local in Australia's culinary capital.
