Address: 368 Smith Street, Collingwood VIC 3066, Melbourne
Tipo 00 on Little Bourke Street serves house-rolled pasta in a tight CBD room. The squid-ink tagliolini and wagyu mafaldine have been selling out for years.
Order: Tagliolini al nero with squid and bottarga
Grossi Florentino holds two Good Food Guide hats. The upstairs room is the classical Italian benchmark; the Cellar Bar serves the same food more casually.
Order: Hand-rolled pasta of the day from the cellar bar menu
Chin Chin on Flinders Lane is Melbourne's reference for Southeast Asian cooking: loud, no-bookings, consistently packed since 2011 and the food holds up.
Order: Stir-fried green beans with holy basil and pork crackling
Daphne in Brunswick East is the Etta team's public house: seasonal European cooking, a natural wine list and a room that genuinely takes the food seriously.
Order: Pork chop with mustard and pickles on the daily specials board
France-Soir has been Melbourne's Parisian bistro since 1982: the menu barely changes, the wine list is legendary and the room feels uncannily right.
Order: Steak au poivre with pommes frites and a glass of Burgundy
Tip: Book by phone. This is still a phone-booking-only restaurant and they mean it.
Pho Hung Vuong 2 on Victoria Street is Melbourne's pho standard-bearer: long-simmered broth with charred onion and ginger, piled with fresh herbs.
Order: Rare beef and brisket pho with bean sprouts and fresh herbs
