Correction (5 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 4 October 2026.
It’s late. You want a sit-down meal in the CBD. Four places here list hours running toward midnight.
These are opening hours, not kitchen hours. We found no kitchen closing times, so assume the kitchen shuts before the doors do.
Each place was checked against two sources. Some hours come from OpenStreetMap tags and may be out of date, and each entry says where its hours came from. This page prints no menu prices, because we could not read any.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Where |
|---|---|---|
| French, with diet options tagged | Frenchie | 15 Collins Street, Melbourne |
| Daily to midnight, per the tag | Farmer’s Daughters | 95 Exhibition Street, Melbourne |
| A pub with a midnight close | Mitre Tavern | 5 Bank Place, Melbourne |
| Mexican, tagged to midnight daily | Hotel Nacional | 23-25 Hardware Lane, Melbourne |
Frenchie — 15 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
Frenchie’s own site lists Monday to Sunday, 12PM to 12AM. OpenStreetMap’s tag is narrower, with Monday to Saturday from 17:00 to 00:00.
The two sources disagree on Sunday and on the opening time, so check before you go. The Australian Good Food Guide tags it with Gluten Free Options, Vegan Options and Vegetarian Options.
Kitchen closes: no kitchen time is listed, and the site and the map tag disagree on Sunday.
Farmer’s Daughters — 95 Exhibition Street, Melbourne VIC 3000
Farmer’s Daughters has an OpenStreetMap tag of Monday to Sunday, 11:30 to 00:00. It may be out of date.
Its own site quotes “Monday to Friday 7:00am till 3:00pm (takeaway only)”, but that is one of several windows on the site, so check it for evening hours before you go.
Last tram / night bus: not on this page, so check the PTV journey planner for your trip home.
Mitre Tavern — 5 Bank Place, Melbourne VIC 3000
Mitre Tavern’s site lists these hours for the tavern: Monday to Friday 11am to 12am, Saturday 12pm to 12am and Sunday 12pm to 11pm. It’s a Sunday close an hour earlier.
The site calls it “The largest outdoor beer garden in Melbourne’s CBD”, which is its own claim. It also describes “A magnificent wine list”.
Kitchen closes: no kitchen closing time is listed, so treat 12am as the tavern’s door time, not the kitchen time.
Hotel Nacional — 23-25 Hardware Lane, Melbourne VIC 3000
Hotel Nacional has an OpenStreetMap tag of 12:00 to 24:00, with no days named, so it reads as daily. That may be out of date.
Its own menu lists “Mixed lettuce, heirloom tomato, vegan fetta, corn chips (V)”. OpenStreetMap tags the place as a Mexican restaurant.
Get home: this page has no transport timetable, so check the PTV planner before you settle in.
Quick answers
Which Melbourne CBD restaurants are open until midnight?
Map tags list hours running to midnight for Farmer’s Daughters and Hotel Nacional, and those tags may be out of date. Mitre Tavern’s site lists a midnight close from Monday to Saturday, and Frenchie’s site lists Monday to Sunday to midnight. These are door times, not kitchen times.
Where can I find vegan or gluten free late-night food in Melbourne CBD?
The Australian Good Food Guide tags Frenchie with Gluten Free Options, Vegan Options and Vegetarian Options. Hotel Nacional’s menu lists mixed lettuce, heirloom tomato, vegan fetta and corn chips, marked (V). Confirm with each place when you book.
Why do the listed hours differ between sources?
Some places have more than one source and they don’t match. Frenchie’s own site says Monday to Sunday, 12PM to 12AM, while OpenStreetMap’s tag says Monday to Saturday from 17:00. Farmer’s Daughters has a map tag to 00:00, and its own site lists several windows, so check the site for evening hours. When sources disagree, ring the venue.
How we checked
We checked every place on this page against at least two independent sources on 4 October 2026: OpenStreetMap, the places’ own websites and the Australian Good Food Guide. We copied no menu prices from these places’ own pages, so this page prints none. Menus, prices and opening hours change, so check with the venue before you go.
