Dining Possibilities

Melbourne does have an enormous range of restaurants and cuisines on offer.  Trying to make a recommendation is a daunting task.  Some that we like and have found to be reliable over the years are listed here.
Local ISPSO members and friends will be hosting group bookings for dinner on Monday-Wednesday to their favourite restaurants. Please consider joining them. Details will be available at the registration desk on each day until after the lunch break, when reservations for that night will be confirmed with the various restaurants.
If you'd like a special meal while you are in Melbourne, we would like to suggest you may consider...

• Donovans on the foreshore in St Kilda.  A 10 minute taxi ride or 30 mins on the tram from the Langham
• Stokehouse.  A Melbourne staple for years and years.  A 10 minute taxi ride or 30 mins on the tram from the Langham
• Riva, a 10 minute taxi ride or 30 mins on the tram from the Langham
• Mirka Tolano.
• Ezard (moderately expensive)
• Vue de Monde (very expensive)
• Taxi (expensive)
• Long Grain

Something Different

• Have dinner on a special tram while you take a tour of the suburbs.

Some specialist cuisines.

• Vlados in Richmond.  Steak and only steak.  Decor stuck in a 70's timewarp, but you will be served a great steak.  A 10 minute taxi ride or 20 mins on the tram from the Langham
• Shakahari Vegetarian in Carlton.  20 mins on the tram from the Langham, or 20 mins in a taxi. 

Some good value places close to the Langham

• Flora, Indian cuisine.  A cafe style eatery in Flinders St opposite the railway station.  A couple of minutes walk just across the river from the Langham.
• Cookie (informal Thai)
• Journal Canteen (informal)
• Supper Inn (Chinese very informal)

We'd love your feedback whether you are a local, or a visitor to our fair city.  Dining out is, after all, a matter of personal taste.  Please leave your comments below.
