I love the saying… “Ladies who Lunch” and here in Melbourne, we sure do love to get our lunch on! Which is why I’m very excited to share with you all, our top 18 places to have Lunch in Melbourne.
Because really, is there anything better than doing a long lunch with the girls in Melbourne – be it on the weekend or during the work week?
There are ENDLESS lunch options in Melbourne, so rounding up this list was a challenge. Never fear, we may just update it some time in the near future – we’ll just keep eating our way across the city and burbs in search for the ultimate midday feed!
