Mit fogunk csinálni?
Do you know the oldest restaurant in Melbourne? Or why we drink red wine out of tumblers? Or who took an iconic restaurant hostage with two shotguns in 1978?
Learn all these fantastic tales while eating and drinking at five of Melbourne’s favourite secret dining institutions, and walking around our beautiful city. Try tasty treats from across our great culinary, multicultural foodscape. Wander our famous laneways. Visit an unforgettable rooftop bar. And enjoy a few wines along the way!
Writer, historian and foodie Lucy Watson takes you on a journey through the food history of Melbourne - from the gold rush, through the Great War, the 6 o’clock swill, the wine revolution of the 70s, and laneway bar explosion of the 90s, right up to today. Discover the dynasties and personalities who built Australia’s most vibrant restaurant scene.
You’ll end up with a full belly, a head buzzing with stories, some great tips for future dining in Melbourne - and maybe even a few new friends!
It's the perfect night out for solo travellers, couples or groups of friends.
**All inclusive! Food, wine, coffee and soft drink included at five restaurants / wine bars and eateries.**

I am a historian, writer and foodie who was born and raised in Melbourne. I also wrote and performed comedy for many years, so I love to entertain. I am passionate about my town - its food, its fascinating history and its diverse people. In fact, I love Melbourne so much I'm currently writing a historical novel about it! I want to share some of the fascinating tales I've discovered about this great city - and have some great food and drink along the way!

Lucy met us as arranged outside the Hopetoun Tearooms and off we went. She took us through laneways which we hadn't discovered and presented the history of Melbourne through the food of its immigrants. We dined, we drank beer and wine and we shared stories and had a wonderful evening. If you get a chance book this for your first night in Melbourne then you can go back to places you enjoyed another night.

My Mum and I had a fabulous tour with Lucy. The small group was a perfect size to try a great range of food and drink, and it was nice to make a new friend as part of the experience!
We definitely didn’t go hungry, and I feel like we have discovered some Melbourne gems to go back to next time we have a night out in the city.
In the interests of full disclosure, I did know Lucy prior to going on the tour - but it was her storytelling skills and love of history that made me want to be part of the experience. The tour was thoroughly researched, complete with historical images to help picture what Melbourne was like in ye olden days.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves food, drink, and a good story.

I had the pleasure of having Lucy entirely to myself during this tour. Usually, there is a group of 4 or more people, but not enough booked on our day. Regardless, Lucy invested her time in the tour and was so generous with her knowledge and passion for Melbourne's colorful early history, sharing great food in secret laneway eateries, culture and personal experiences. It felt like we had known each other for many years! She is so warm and has a great sense of humor, which is a major bonus. We had an incredible time and I highly recommend everyone to take Lucy's wonderful tour- it will be one of the highlights of your visit to Melbourne, as it was mine! She even walked me home, as I was feeling tipsy and not familiar with all the streets in Melbourne.!!!!! Thanks Lucy.
