Whether you don't celebrate the holiday or you're looking to ditch the kitchen responsibilities, you'll find several top spots still doing their thing this Wednesday 25 December 2024.
And it doesn't have to involve a Christmas ham if you don't want it to. From fancy lunches to rockin’ dinners, we’ve rounded up a list of Melbourne’s restaurants and pubs open for Christmas Day in 2024 so you don’t have to.
Editor’s note: we’ve jumped on this list early, so understandably a bunch of spots around town haven’t locked in their festive opening hours yet. We’ll keep this article updated with the latest as it comes in. Is your venue going to be open or know of one that will be? Slide into our inbox.

Awarded Melbourne’s best restaurant pub earlier this year, Audrey’s at The Conti is putting on an opulent Christmas feast for those holidaying down the ‘ninch. The set menu hasn’t been confirmed yet, but you can count on it being a lavish spread of fresh local seafood and produce. Best to book in early if you’re certain this is your jam, because this Christmas lunch typically sells out every year.
