Where to eat in City of Melbourne

[Cstar]

I am going to see a show this Sunday at the atheneum in the city with 2 friends. We want to go grab something to eat before hand, any suggestions. I rarely go into the city these days so have no idea.

Something quick and easy and not too expensive would be great.

Thanks

We went to Bossley last night before a show and the food was really good. $79 for three courses and a drink.

I went to SPQR Pizzeria on Friday night before a show. The woodfired pizza was delicious! It was a bit dark and the staff weren't massively friendly, but the food was delish.

Stalactites on Lonsdale st

If you like Sushi Train - one of the most fresh and delicious is Sakura Kaiten Sushi II on Lonsdale St near Melbourne Central. 

It's not dressy though, but is great tasting.

For more substantial plates there's also The Quarter on Degraves St. I can recommend their coffee, also the Grain Salad, and the Lamb salad.  https://thequarter.com.au/menu

Thanks all

I’m not a Melbournite but when we were there last, we enjoyed Le Charme which Google tells me is only 550m away.

The George On Collins is just a few doors up from the Atheneum and has a delicious modern Asian menu.

Similarly, Chin Chin in Flinders Lane is only a few minutes stroll away and has an equally scrumptious menu.

I looked up their menu cos we are heading to the theatre soon too.

Not a single thing on their pre show menu I would or could eat lol

Ombra or SPRQ are both good for quick pre theatre dinners.

I feel like that is an apt description for most of the tastiest Melbourne restaurants
