Eating and drinking

How food and drink work in the city.

  • The food scene is shaped by migration, with strong Greek, Italian, Vietnamese and Chinese communities.
  • Brunch and coffee are a big part of the culture; some venues are BYO (bring your own wine).
  • Queen Victoria Market is the classic food landmark.
  • Tap water is free and safe; tipping is uncommon; the legal drinking age is 18.
