Dexter
Price: Expensive•Barbecue•4.8(225)DEXTER is a no rules approach to American BBQ brought to you by Adam Goldblatt, Sam and Tom Peasnell. Our meatery features the best Australian produce which is treated the right way. Chefs Tom (Pitt Cue Co, London) and Adam (Homeslice, London) pay homage to the low and slow traditions of American BBQ utilising smoking, chargrill techniques and pair this with flavours from Mexico, China, France and alike. The philosophy is a meat first approach, where a dish is formulated from the unique characteristics of the meat (or vegetable) for a truly unique meat experience. Think salted caramel ribs, hot meat donuts and dry aged Ribeye's.Zia Rina's Cucina

Ishizuka
Price: Very Expensive•Japanese•4.9(51)Awarded two hats at the 2025 Good Food Guide Awards, Ishizuka is renowned for its contemporary interpretation of Kaiseki—an elevated and intricate culinary art form, practiced exclusively by Japan’s most expert culinary master Katsuji Yoshino. Each Kaiseki meal is a multi-course journey that celebrates the integrity of seasonal ingredients, with a balance of flavours and textures that are as artistically presented as they are meticulously crafted.
Designed by esteemed architecture and design practice Russell & George, Ishizuka was awarded Restaurant of the Year at the 2019 Frame Awards in Amsterdam, International Winner in the Australia & Pacific Restaurant category at the prestigious Restaurant & Bar Design Awards in London, and Restaurant Design of the Year at the 2018 Eat Drink Design Awards in Melbourne.ISH
Price: Expensive•Contemporary Indian•4.8(34)Since November 2018, Fitzroy’s Gertrude Street has been home to ISH, a lively, inventive Indian restaurant. Serving up contemporary Indian cuisine, the restaurant’s ethos is rooted in the liminal: its inspirations both traditional and modern, its flavours both familiar and surprising, its spirit both global and local. It serves to represent, through food, the dynamism that so defines modern-day India. ISH is Indian-ish, yes, but also Australian; modern-ish, yes, but also classic. In short, it delivers what can only be described as ‘unexpected India.’
Takeaway Pizza

Located at 535 High Street, Preston Takeaway Pizza doesn't just specialise in New York style thin pizza for a hungry local takeaway trade. We also have a fully stocked bar with huge TIKI party vibes and some crazy good drinks.
It's a low key, any day, any occasion kind of joint.
Inside think tropical wallpaper, a disco ball, bar seats for walk ins and tables for bookings! On the deck it's all about Pina Colada's in the sun. It is Melbourne, however, so naturally we have heaters and a retractable roof.
Pizza, Booze & Good vibes only.Silks Cranbourne

- KKatrinaMelbourne •1 review4.0Dined 1 day agoWe recently visited this restaurant as a group of eight for a business dinner and had a very good experience overall. The service was efficient and professional, with staff ensuring our group was well looked after throughout the evening. The menu featured a great range of options, and the food was beautifully presented and full of flavour, each course was consistently well-prepared and enjoyable. The ambience is stylish and polished, making it a fitting choice for business or formal dinners. While the setting is elegant and comfortable, it does have a more structured feel, which might not offer quite the warmth or intimacy some diners might be looking for, particularly if seeking a more romantic or relaxed dining atmosphere. Overall, this is a very good restaurant that delivers on quality, presentation, and service. It’s a solid option for professional gatherings or special occasions where a refined, well-executed dining experience is desired.More infoCecconi's Flinders LanePrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Melbourne CBD•4.8
