Melbourne is different than a lot of cities around the world – obviously it’s Australian - but also, it is unique even for Australia.

Melbourne is a city of variation, one where a visitor can find pockets of almost pure nationalities from around the world. In Carlton, just to the North-east of the city block, Italy rules and as one travels beyond the CBD (Central Business District) there are Asian areas, Greek, Turkish and many more. Something like 130 nationalities are represented here.

The Stokehouse is one of Melbourne's iconic restaurants. Positioned right on the beach in St.Kilda, this restaurant offers customers 2 styles of dining. Upstairs is a very elegant setting with a more expensive menu - entree's at approx. $27AUD. With uninterrupted views of the water, it is a superb place to take someone special for dinner or to impress a client for lunch.
