BKK

Restaurant

Small, lively and theatrical, this barbeque-powered restaurant is a top spot to try dishes from all over Thailand. Best of all, it’s firing until 1am every night.

Level 3 270 Lonsdale Street (enter via Drewery Lane), Melbourne

Ling Nan

Restaurant

Offering no-nonsense Cantonese dining in the heart of the CBD, Ling Nan has been satisfying Melbourne’s late-night cravings for around three decades. New location, same must-order XO pippies.

207 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne

Butchers Diner

Restaurant

The cheeseburger at this cool little diner is excellent and costs less than $10, so you might want to reconsider that midnight Macca’s run. There are also steak sangas, snacks and a whole lot more on the menu.

10 Bourke Street, Melbourne

A Melbourne institution that’s open until 2.30am every night. Come here for affordable and filling Cantonese food without the frills.

Cambodia’s Kitchen

Bar Ampere

Snacks, cheese and charcuterie until 3am every night. Also, heftier items such as kransky rolls filled with bacon, mustard and sauerkraut; and very good burgers.

Stalactites

Restaurant

It’s hard to imagine the CBD without this Greek institution. Its classic giros platters and souvlaki have been lining the stomachs of late-night revellers since 1978, and not much has changed. They’re available until 2am every Friday and Saturday.

177-183 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne

Bar Margaux

Restaurant

Walk down the nondescript staircase and let your eyes adjust. There’s no natural light at this moody French bar and bistro – but there is steak frites and one of Melbourne’s best burgers. You can get both well after midnight.

Basement 111 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne

Dragon Hot Pot

Restaurant

Melbourne’s undisputed malatang king has locations all over the city, but only this one will numb your tongue and clear your sinuses at 2am in the morning.

213 Russell Street, Melbourne

Shujinko

Restaurant

Shujinko’s kitchen used to run at full steam, 24-hours a day. Trading hours are a little more conservative these days, but you can still drop in for a bowl of the city’s best tonkotsu ramen every Friday and Saturday till 11pm.

225 Russell Street, Melbourne

3 Wilson Street, South Yarra

Bar Romantica

Whether you’re capping off the night or kicking on, a slice of pizza and a cheeky Americano never goes astray. This sharp Italian joint is an excellent spot for either mood – just make sure to book ahead.

Connie’s Italian Diner

Upstairs 234b Russell Street, Melbourne

Moody blues and dark spirits rule at this cavernous, below-ground bar. Descend the stairs on Driver Lane for an extensive cocktail list, short-order French snacks and fancy toasties served till extra late. Or proceed to the intimate whisky cellar for a private tasting.
