When planning my trip in Australia, everyone told me I’d love Sydney because it was a very “me” city but that I’d also fall in love with Melbourne because of the food scene. I can confirm, Melbourne food is in fact very much worth the hype.

I was surprised to find out that Melbourne was a huge “sandwich” city with different spots fighting for a top crown! Let’s just say, I did try many of them, and although all were delicious, I only listed my top ones below. Unsurprisingly however, the city has no lack of delicious ice creams and inventive coffee options to battle the heat.

Melbourne at sunset is really something else!
