#1 HER — 270 Lonsdale St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia
the food | ★ 4/5 (1,586 reviews) | $$$
What makes it great: There is a reason HER has outlasted every trend on Lonsdale St. This is the kind of place that a neighbourhood builds around. Not a destination — a reason to stay local. A restaurant that respects the ingredients, respects your time, and respects your wallet.
