What to expect
Expect to walk at a relaxed pace through inner Melbourne's laneways and side streets, stopping frequently to eat and chat. Your guide will point out why certain spots matter—whether it's the roastery perfecting their single-origin pour-over or the family running dumpling service from a shopfront. You'll taste your way through the city's eating story: savoury and sweet, coffee and cocktails. Between stops, you'll learn the neighbourhood gossip and get recommendations tailored to your tastes for later.
