From Wednesday 28th of October 2020, Melbourne cafes will be reopened for dine-in customers. Cafes will be allowed to offer table service for up to 20 sit down customers in an enclosed space and to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, new measures have been put into place to ensure the safety of customers and staff alike. Please note that social distancing must be maintained at all times and all customers will need to make a booking prior to their visit, however we have found that there actually a few cafes offering walk-ins only.
Below, we have put together a list of Cafes reopening across Melbourne which will be continually updated. So if you know of any other Melbourne cafes that have reopened for dine in customers that are not on this list, please email us at hello@themelbourneexperience.com.au so that we can keep this list up to date for all our lovely readers out there.
