From Wednesday 28th of October 2020, Melbourne Restaurants will be reopened for dine-in customers. Melbourne restaurants 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. If a restaurant has multiple dining rooms, then they will be able to accommodate 20 sit down customers in each space. Please note that customers will need to adhere to social distancing whilst dining and you will need to make a booking prior to your visit, however we have found that there actually a few restaurants offering walk-ins only.
Below, we have put together a list of restaurants reopening across Melbourne which will be continually updated. So if you know of any other restaurants that have opened and 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.
