German beer hall located on the waterfront near DFO. There are a few other bars down that side as well, some with nice sun chairs out on the riverfront and is great for a sunny afternoon.

Burgers and fries, open 24 hours and do home deliveries. Also is one of the few stores that does a "create your taste" menu, where you can design your own burger (that's much fancier than a Big Mac)!

Famous for its delicious parmas, great for a big day out as its large parmas are the size of an iPad. Note the restaurant is within the casino area, therefore kids are not allowed.

Oyster Bar at the South Melbourne Market - get literally market fresh oysters! Super refreshing and delicious with lemon and dozens of chilli sauces available on standing bar. Don't buy just one or half a dozen... get a dozen straight up because you'll end up buying more after tasting how fresh they are!
