We've hit lockdown #2 in Melbourne. We were so close, we could taste it. In fact, we did taste it, we hit up all the amazing restaurants we'd been wanting to go to for months.
Now though, it's time to stay indoors once again, and Melbourne's restaurants have changed tact quickly and are once again offering takeaway and delivery for you to enjoy at home.
Here's what your favourite restaurants are up to.

Live over the West Gate? Want something a bit fancier than fish and chips? Well, Sebastian has launched an At Home menu that’ll make you forget all about lockdown (at least as long as the croquettes last, anyway). You can get your food ready to heat or ready to eat. And it’s some properly good grub: leek croquettes so smooth you could schmear them on a bagel, slow-roasted lamb shoulder with chickpeas, patatas bravas with tangy Romesco, and (my favourite) the baked Basque cheesecake – eggy, fluffy, all burned and caramel around the edges. Sits on your tongue like a wafer, and your stomach like a bowling ball. Sebastian At Home is available for dinner from Wednesday to Saturday, or lunch on Sunday. Don’t forget the jug of sangria. Order here. Read More +
