Ice Bar Melbourne

You can have an experience of your lifetime by visiting an Ice Bar in Melbourne.

IceBar Melbourne is literally made of ice, from the décor, bar and even the glasses. If you are worried about the cold, don’t be, they provide warm jackets, gloves and sometimes boots.

So, get a piece of Antarctic in the hot and sunny Melbourne all while experiencing the diverse food and drinks offered in Ice Bar.

Lentil As Anything

Lentil as Anything offers great vegan food with a twist, pay-as-you-feel, which means customers can actually decide how much they want to pay for their food depending on how they felt about it.

And the best part about this is that all their profits go to diverse community projects so not only will you be free of guilt breaking your diet but also get to contribute to various causes making it a unique must-try.

Secret Foodies

This secret dinner does not have a rooted location and to keep up with its name and the mystery, the restaurant pops up in mystery locations that are only disclosed to the customer via text on the day of their reservation!

And not only the venues are a mystery but also the cuisine or the menu offered. If you like great food and are willing to be surprised, this is an experience you’ll definitely want to be a part of.

Head to their website to make a reservation and get ready to be a part of the secret food society.

Easy’s

Easy’s may not be the classy Australian restaurant but if you are going for the hippies style Brooklyn type then it is the right fit for you.

Easy’s are dressed with train carriages turned seating areas filled with graffiti giving you a whole Gen-Z feel.

Delicious burgers, hot dogs, desserts and much more are added to the menu to complete the vibe.
