Food is almost an obsession with Melburnians and the list of places to eat out is breathtakingly long and varied.

Eating Out, MelbourneFine dine at upmarket establishments, or pop into a low-key ethnic restaurant serving up all manner of delightful cuisines.

The city's migrant population is drawn from every country around the globe and it shows in the fare being offered. Lebanese, Turkish, Vietnamese, Greek, Italian ... you name it you can get it in Melbourne.

In the Central Business District the main food destinations are Chinatown - from Spring St, down Little Bourke St to Swanston St - and Southgate on the southern banks of the Yarra River.

There is also a small Greek precinct, some terrific Asian establishments in Swanston St and good food available in Federation Square.

Yoyoshi, Eating Out, MelbourneIf you are into Japanese sashimi I can recommend the offerings at Yoyoshi - a sushi bar in Swanston St. Fresh, filling and reasonably priced. The teriyaki chicken and tonkatsu pork also went down well.

Dumplings Plus, also in Swanston St, is a very reasonable night out with an excellent choice of Asian dishes.

Southgate is very popular and has a huge number of really good eateries where you can sit and look at the city's highrises, Flinders St railway station or the Yarra.

The brown waters of the Yarra have it affectionately nicknamed The Upside-Down River by locals.

Dumplings Plus, Eating Out, MelbourneA short tram ride north of the central city is the Italian heart of Melbourne - the suburb of Carlton and its famed Lygon St restaurants and cafes. This is a must-do on one of the nights of your stay.

Another place that you have to dine out in is St Kilda. You can get to the beachside suburb by tram and we'd recommend spending at least half a day there.

St Kilda is split into two distinct areas - Fitzroy St, where the main restaurant area is, and Acland St where you have both eateries and utterly fabulous cake shops. There is also the St Kilda Pier - which you must take a stroll along - and the Little Blue restaurant at its end. It gets its name from the colony of blue penguins that live on the breakwater.

The inner eastern suburb of Richmond is home to some excellent Asian eateries and Asian supermarkets. It's easy to get to by train or tram and worth exploring.

Dumplings Plus, Eating Out, MelbourneAnd worth considering is taking a dinner cruise on the Yarra River - very good food, great atmosphere and terrific views to be had.

We had a great night out on the Spirit of Melbourne riverboat. The meals were beautifully prepared and presented and our steak and pork mains were cooked to perfection.

The service was spot on - attentive but not intrusive - the dining area had a relaxed atmosphere where you could talk without being either overheard or drowned out and the views of the city and Yarra River were ever changing and at times spectacular.

So is Melbourne's famed Restaurant Tram which, from what I saw recently, seems to have expanded into Restaurant Trams.

The thing about Melbourne is that just about anywhere you go you'll find a nice little place to sit down and eat - and we don't mean fast-food outlets either!
