Angel's Filipino Barbeque (Filipino, BBQ) - Blacktown
Azuki Bakery (Japanese, Bread, Cake) - Newtown
Bosphorus (Turkish) - Wentworth Point

Macchiato (Italian, Pizza, Coffee) - CBD
Molly Tea (Tea) - Darling Square
Piato (Italian?) - Wynyard?
- Google search shows a location in McMahons Point (near North Sydney), but the person who recommended this place said it’s near Wynyard, just that it doesn’t show on the map. I don’t see any results near Wynyard though, so I’ll need to do some exploring. Apparently, it’s in Wynyard Metcentre?
- Apparently, I should try the fettuccini and risotto.

Restaurant Hubert (French) - CBD
- Quite expensive though.
Toki Italian Inspired (Italian) - CBD, Woolloomooloo

Poutine places:

Brüger (Burgers) - Footscray
- Probably worth trying!
F.A.T. Fried and Tasty (Fried Chicken) - Brunswick East
- Their poutine seems to use cheese rather than cheese curds.
- Still seems like a good place even if the poutine isn’t authentic.
Juanita Peaches (American) - Brunswick
- The poutine photos look unimpressive, but I may as well drop in and try the poutine if I’m in the area. Maybe it’s better than it looks?
Tallboy & Moose (Pub) - Preston
- Looks authentic. I should give them a try.
- Do they also serve Caesar cocktail? I should probably also try one while I’m there.
That Burger Joint (Burgers) - St Kilda | Fitzroy North
The Beast (Burgers) - Brunswick East
- Their poutine seems to use cheese rather than cheese curds.
Tramway Hotel (Pub) - Fitzroy North
- Their poutine seems to use cheese rather than cheese curds.

Places near Tullamarine Airport for a convenient meal before/after a flight:

AFL Kitchen & Bar (Western) - Melbourne Airport
- Seems extremely mediocre yet overpriced. Go for the novelty, not for good food.
- Might walk past and have a look at the food quality served to the patrons. If it looks alright, I might try a burger.
Bar Pulpo by MoVida (Spanish, Bar) - Melbourne Airport
- Recommended by Reddit.
- This place would be my top priority but sadly, they’re airside in the international terminals.
Hanna's Cafe (Café) - Melbourne Airport
- Recommended by Reddit.
- Check closing times. Last I checked, it closes 5:30pm on weekdays.
- Seems like the food quality is probably great, but not very unique. It’s an option if the more unique restaurants are unavailable.
Biggie Smalls (Western) - Melbourne Airport
- Seems like one of the better more interesting places on Google Maps.
- This place is my #1 priority.

400 Gradi (Italian, Pizza) - (various locations)
- It’s basically a Melbourne chain. Lots of Melbourne locations.
- I list it under Australia Chains because they have a SA location.
- Expect about $30 per dish.
- If you want water, always specifically ask for tap water, otherwise they will sneakily give you fancy water.
Gami Chicken & Beer (Korean, Fried Chicken) - (various locations)
Lune Croissanterie (Croissants) - (various locations)
