Sorry should have posted some stuff sooner but here's a bit of a list of some places we/you could go. This is mostly CBD, I'll put some others from outside CBD later, maybe. The northern suburbs has good stuff.

Cafes in the city I like

http://www.highergroundmelbourne.com.au/ (Big, neato space with solid food and coffee)
https://grainstore.com.au/ (Slightly fancier food than above. Good coffee)
Captains of Industy (Classic Melbourne of down an alley and up some stairs for not so much food but good coffee to sit at the window and people watch)
Hardware Societe (Busy as fuck on the weekends but solid French themed cafe fud)
http://www.rusticacanteen.com/ (Another alleyway, tasty bread and around the corner from the cat cafe if that's your bag) and around the corner from:
http://www.short-stop.com.au/ (good donuts and coffee)

Should probably leave that there, there's lots of good stuff. Oh and a new Starbucks on Swanston st...


Potential Restaurants:

http://www.chinchinrestaurant.com.au/ (One of my favourites. Clean and fresh tasting South East Asian styled food with long waits to get a table...)
https://supernormal.net.au/ (Tasty Japanese stuffs)
https://www.meatmaiden.com.au/ or https://www.fancyhanks.com/menu (good bbq)
https://www.entrecotecity.com.au/ (steak and fries and steak and fries)
http://www.tipo00.com.au/ (Damn fine Italian food)
https://www.broadsheet.com.au/melbourne/restaurants/shujinko (My fave ramen place, haz linez)
http://www.rockwellandsons.com.au/menu/ (out of CBD for double patty smash burger oh my fucking gaaaaaaaaawd) and close to
http://www.gelatomessina.com/au/fitzroy (Best ice cream IMO. I mean Apple Pie Icecream come on!!!!!)

Anyone know where to get good kangaroo?

Bars:
http://sisterbellas.business.site/ (Melbourne style, walk past the garbage and into a dodgy looking building for a good place to have a beer and a chat)
https://1806.com.au/ (Neato multi level cocktail bar)
http://www.ginpalace.com.au/ (Neato downstairs cocktail bar with comfy seats and good Espresso Martini's)
http://www.robotsushi.com/ (Haven't actually been here but have been meaning to go) and close to
https://www.broadsheet.com.au/melbourne/cbd/bars/bartronica (booze and games. Including free to use SNES, 64 and Gamecubes. I think it has gamecubes)
http://heartbreakerbar.com.au/ (Dive bar style but on a busy corner. I think it also has pizza)
http://www.double-happiness.com.au/ (Haven't been yet but recommended. Espresso martini's in a Chinese Communism themed bar. I'll let you decide if the latter element is on the nose)


http://hellskitchenmelbourne.com/ (Another alley bar I want to go to)
https://www.rooftopcinema.com.au/ (Rooftop bar for good rooftop views with drinks)
http://www.nakedforsatan.com.au/ (great rooftop bar north of the CBD, closeish to Rockwell and Sons)



That'll do for now...

Naked for Satan? Srsly?

Yep. And the story behind it is freakin cool.

Also just DeGraves St in general in the CBD, s'all noice

Next to Fitzrovia is milk the cow too which is also worthy of a visit. Cheese and booze tasting plates oh yes

Yeah they love the d

Not as high class as questor's dining record, but Mad Moose in yarraville was pretty good but the last time I was there was 09. 

Turns out it's gone now anyway.

I'm all for a kebab most of the time but we save up to go all out for the anniversary

Tipo 00 is a great normal night out place

One of my favourite modern aus places has closed in the last 6 months, Mr Jennings in Richmond

Meatball and wine bar I can heartily recommend too

Yarraville is still awesome though. Lots of new places there.

My memory is vague but across the road from the cinema there was a Turkish restaurants or cafe that made awesome coffee and sweets.
