Our favourite pizza in Melbourne. We always order the prosciutto because it's by far the best. Top it off with an Aperol Spritz. The desserts are expensive and quite small so we stay away from those.

Tiamo's is one of the first Italian restaurants on the now famous Lygon St. The restaurant was so popular that they opened Tiamo 2 right next door. The food is served in generous portions and the service is quick. Ask to see the menu from both Tiamo 1 & 2 as you can order from either. I always get the fettuccine marinara or the fettuccine beef ragu.

Authentic homemade style Afghan food. This is one of the few restaurants where you're likely to be served by one of the owners with the restaurant kept in the same hands for decades. If it's a busy night, ask to sit upstairs where you'll have an even more authentic experience because of the "tent party". For two people get the mixed chef entre to share, a vegetable soup each and a curry with rice to share. When you're leaving the restaurant, before you open the door, look right, you will see pictures on the wall of the waiters/owners throughout the years. You can see how long they've run the restaurant for.

Master Chef George Calombaris started Jimmy Grants as a quick, cheap cousin to his fancier restaurants. Jimmy Grant's is meant to be a kebab shop, but it's anything but, the lamb and chicken are slow cooked to perfection and will melt in your mouth, all for a reasonable price.

Some of Melbourne's best dumplings. The unassuming facade hides the scale of this three-floor dumpling goliath. You'll be hard pressed to book a table but don't worry if you can't, just turn up and wait to be seated downstairs. They can normally fit you in. Make sure to get the Shanghai dumplings but let them cool down a little before you eat them as they have hot water inside that will burst open in your mouth.

Exceptionally good authentic Argentinean food that is in many ways even better than in Argentina. Food is to share so order a good steak, tira de asado (ribs), chorizo (sausage) and some sides. Pair your meal with a nice Malbec red wine and make sure to finish with an alfajor biscuit for dessert. This place is expensive and classy so make a night of it.

Woolworths is one of the two biggest supermarket brands in Australia. This supermarket will have everything you need at decent prices. I normally buy my meat and vegetables elsewhere, as meat from a local butcher and fruit and veggies from a local producer will be much better quality.
