DELICIOUS MELBOURNE FOOD TOUR | Where to eat in Melbourne CBD and inner suburbs by ex-locals

[@Alina_Valentina]

i love it when u can hear in the way somebody with food in his hand talks. u can tell the difference between a dry mouth and a salivating at the food one. love it !

[@ChasingaPlate]

🤣🤣🤣 I love this Alina! You’re our kind of person! Thanks for watching this one mate. Cheers, Sheena

[@muthuarasugopal]

CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME I AM STRUGGLING A LOT FOR FOOD AND MEDICAL HELP.PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏..

[@Michael_Sheldon]

Such a great food city. I still remember the Greek food we had at a restaurant in Melbourne's (rather large, I think) Greek community. Yum. I love pandan and I love pear, so you would have both had to give me a bite of those beautiful pastries. Thanks for the tour. 🙌😘

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks for watching Michael! You’re correct there is a large Greek community there. Heaps of neat places because of that. We didn’t cover any in this series though. Isn’t pandan awesome. So damn tasty! Loved filming this one 🤤 Cheers, Thomas

[@MsKestrela]

Yum! Everything looked great, but the Char Koay Teow got my saliva glands squirting. Few things in life are better than a good plate of noodles. Melbourne looks like a lovely, clean city. I'm happy you got to visit your old stomping grounds, and show us around.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Few things in life are better than a good plate of noodles…. What very true words! These ones were epic. Such a bang of flavour. Melbourne is a very special city. It was a joy to be back. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😊😃

[@May_LP]

This is awesome,I’m finally back in the city for work & these places along with the pervious video will be amazing lunch spots. Thank you!

I really like your videos. Your recent video about places to dine in Melbourne came up as recommended...and I am stoked it did! I subscribed right away and already have a few new places to try. After WFH for almost three years, I am back in the City a few days a week and keen to try some of your recommendations. Thanks!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks so much! We were absolutely thrilled to see the city buzzing. What a place and what amazing food it has! We were so glad to be back and getting to eat there. We loved our time living in Melbourne and can’t wait to return again. Enjoy being back in the city and the amazing food it has to offer. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers, Thomas

[@ChasingaPlate]

Those tarts are so yum! You’d love them. Try them out when you get a chance and let us know what you think. Loved filming in Melbourne. Thanks very much for watching. Cheers, Thomas

[@jomcgee6094]

So it's 4am and I'm sitting here teleworking minding my own and having my coffee and begin watching you two. Then bam...Sheena bites into that pandan pastry...and I hear that crunch like you are sitting beside me. I had to get up and make, unfortunately, a bagel 🥯 😒 because it was all I had on hand! ( You are killing me over here!!!!) AND then you slap me with a cheeseburger with fries....guess what I'm having for lunch!❤ Big hugs 🫂 over here while I'm salivating.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Haha this is a great comment! We love a good bagel. So yum! I really enjoyed that crunch also while I was editing this one. Such a great sound. I’ve also made myself hungry for burgers. Thinking we might have to have one for dinner here 😂😆 Enjoy your lunch and thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas

Having been lucky enough to spend some of my earlier life in France, Agatha Patisserie - the best French patisserie in Melbourne (allegedly) is still only as good as any average Patisserie in any provincial town in France.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Handy for when you can’t travel to France easily though! 😄

Agathe croissants are better than Lune.

[@HenryShires]

As a retired Food Writer who has lived in Melbourne for the last 20 years I think I have earned the right to make the following comment respectfully. I think that Melbourne has to be careful of not just resting on its Parmas by catering almost exclusively to the 20/30 something still (relatively) fit and healthy population. Australia will within the next couple of decades be in the grip of a pandemic which will dwarf Covid - diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease and heart disease. All driven by the preponderance of sugar and high carb cuisines and the huge prevalence of processed and take away food. Surely there should be room in Melbourne's diverse culinary market for more and better plant based, organic and low carb eateries. After all Melbourne is only potentially a highly liveable city if you can manage to stay ALIVE!

[@ChasingaPlate]

I guess it’s why restaurants like Smith + Daughters are so popular. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena

[@samchow5049]

Don't piss the singaporeans off cos that's not "their" version of CKT :D :D :D :D

I'm sorry but all those prices are straight rip-offs. Just goes to show how bad inflation in Australia is, that food costs so damn much now.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Daniel, thanks for watching! Yea inflation has hit hard many places and people have to make a living somehow. Hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena

[@brunodangelantonio6073]
