1. SkyHigh Mount Dandenong

2025 Global 100 – Restaurants for Views & Experiences

探索大自然It took about an hour to get to Croydon from the city. After coming out, go up a short slope and you will reach the terminus of 688. From here, you can take 688 directly to skyhigh, which is very convenient. The scenery is good and you can see the beautiful scenery of the whole Melbourne.

2. The 1000 Steps Cafe

Mrs FoguI really enjoyed the afternoon tea experience. It is rare to feel this peaceful afternoon tea in the mountains. It feels really different after climbing 1,000 steps. The coffee in Melbourne is generally great. This setting is also very appropriate. I like it.

没有蜡olling💓Eggs Benedict: The Hollandaise sauce with beetroot is very girly~ Yellow Swan can be eaten raw🥚Everything is so satisfying! The finishing touch is the slow-cooked beef, which is processed into shreds and served with homemade BBQ sauce. It is salty and spicy with a sweet taste, which is great! 🍗Fried chicken waffles: The portion is huge! Two girls can't finish it at all~ The waffles are black because of the addition of bamboo charcoal powder, and the fried chicken is Korean sweet and spicy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside~ 🍰Melbourne hot cakes: A very "cat-like" dessert, with a fluffy texture between soufflé and muffins. The top is topped with vanilla ice cream, various fruits and sunflower seeds, etc., which is very solid! When it comes to Melbourne, it must be on the “list of cities I want to visit again”, and this store, whether it is the retro black and white tones, the real grapefruit tree in the backyard, the kangaroo 🦘 sign at the door or the cute koala 🐨 hanging on the tree... it may be able to temporarily satisfy some of your imagination of Melbourne.

US$16Western-styleAfternoon Tea

没有蜡ollingIt was a beautiful day. Let's enjoy English afternoon tea while looking at maple leaves. Miss Marple's Tea room in Dandenong is very good. If you come to Melbourne, Australia, you must go to the Pie I introduced last time and the English afternoon tea this time. The English muffins, homemade jam and waffle desserts are even better! The tea is also very special! In short, you will want to go again after visiting once!

SophyJiang漫旅绘This internet-famous coffee shop only accepts reservations. When I passed by, it seemed to be full at any time. If you didn't make a reservation in advance, you would not be allowed in. After checking in, I don't quite understand why it is so popular. 🍃Environment: The industrial style environment of the old power station is transformed. There are actually many similar styles in Melbourne; 🍭Taste: It is not particularly better than other well-known coffee shops. The ricotta hotcake is beautiful and has its own characteristics. The Benedict eggs and avocado toast are just good. 💁‍♂️Service: Although it is full, the waiter's care is still acceptable. The serving speed is not fast, but everything comes up as soon as it is served. It happens to be sitting next to the open kitchen, and I don't feel the smoky smell mentioned by netizens. Just experience it.

空空CJThe staff were really lovely, polite, attentive and friendly, and explained the dishes in detail and attentively without being intrusive. The dishes were all delicious, the portions were just right and the flavors were great. I would have liked the cheese to come out before the desserts, rather than when I wanted them. But since the ice cream came first, I had to eat the desserts first, but I just picked and ate some. Of course this is just an inevitable personal opinion. Such a wonderful experience has made me overlook this. 😍👌💖 In no particular order (after all, the desserts are all beautiful😏): 1. Rum sponge cake (pineapple, coconut, lime) 2. Cheese (chef's selection) 3. Cape beef (radish, charred leek, bone marrow) 4. Quail meat (mushrooms, black garlic, pickled fennel) 5. Scallops (grilled nori, dashi butter, peas) 6. Potatoes (goat cheese, smoked carrots, neem seeds) 7. Pickled cobia (spiced tomatoes, horseradish, XO sauce) 8. Bread and chips 9. Pineapple cocktail

没有蜡ollingThe burger sandwich at the entrance is a specialty! It feels like one person can't finish it! This time I tried the Porridge that I have always been unsure of. Although I stepped on the cinnamon flavor, it was still good overall! The Sweet Corn Fritter ordered by my friend was also good~
