In the middle of lockdown, every venue has had to change the way it does business, but none more so than fine diners. Unlike take-home-friendly pizzerias or kebab joints, Melbourne’s high-end restaurants have had to re-write their menus from scratch. Even the old dogs, such as Florentino and Cafe di Stasio, have had to learn some new tricks.
These are the fine diners with the best takeaway menus. When you order from one of these places, make an evening of it: dress up, lay out a tablecloth, and bust out the good china. It's lockdown six, we all deserve a splurge. When you’re cooped up at home, ordering a banquet from one of these places is the best way to celebrate a special occasion – or to just make a weekend feel more like a real weekend.
