Flower Drum
Melbourne
|
Flower Drum is one of Melbourne's most popular haunts with serious foodies. Those who should know swear it is Australia's best Cantonese restaurant.

MoVida
Melbourne
|
A personal fave — every trip to the hip surrounds of Hoosier Lane in Melbourne should end up at MoVida. Fab tapas, great cocktails and sexy staff keep us coming back.

Yu-U
Melbourne
|
Jeez, enough from Melbourne! Well, we'd be remiss not to count on Yu-U. Though I personally think this restaurant got the third most clicks of all just because you had trouble finding it! No signage at this Japanese joint.

Cookie
Melbourne
|
The banana flower salad is the signature dish at this Melbourne favourite, but Cookie is primarily a beer hall and can make for a helluva good time for after-work drinks.

Balthazar
Perth
|
Finally ... a nod to Perth! Balthazar is a beautiful place for tapas, or a fully decked out modern Aussie meal.

Taxi
Melbourne
|
Taxi Dining Room in the schmick Transport Hotel serves crisp Japanese-inspired food in a chrome and glass milieu. The interior design is out of this world with fabulously modern style inside and out, tearing your attention away from the bustling Melbourne CBD action below.

The Press Club
Melbourne
|
George Calombaris has a reputation around town as an avant-garde chef whose culinary creations have raised eyebrows and prompted belly-patting contentment. And at The Press Club you can expect Melbourne's best jazzy-yet-traditional Greek, served with sass.

Rumi
Brunswick East
|
Yum — finally a Lebanese restaurant on the list! We love sharing the tasty, authentic family-style dishes out back on a balmy Brunswick East summer's night.

Sydney-siders agree — this year's Good Food Guide winner is also a winner with yourRestaurants.com.au readers.

Moroccan Soup Bar
Fitzroy North
|
Organic, super-yum North African food is served up with flair at this Fitzroy North fave. And the best part? Your #10 is one of few rad restaurants where you can get a three-course banquet for less than 20 bucks!
