It's the food. It’s Melbourne at its most Melbourne.

Melburnians aren’t afraid of the cold. We layer up and don a brolly as a as a badge of honour. Plunged into the depths of our coldest months, our city thrives in any shade of grey. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. This winter dial up the drama and follow the glow to hot pot spots and basement bars. Grab the gloves and head to the footy. Or hide out at all day exhibitions.
