EASEYS, 48 Easey Street, Collingwood, 9079 5942. Tues-Sun breakfast, lunch and dinner
The beef burgers are towering, tender and tasty but the real attraction is the setting: a train carriage on the rooftop with views of the city skyline.
ENTRECOTE, 131-133 Domain Road, South Yarra, 9804 5468. Daily breakfast, lunch and dinner
As Parisian as it's possible to be in South Yarra, Entrecote serves porterhouse smothered in herby butter sauce with frites and soft dressed leaves.
ROYAL MAIL HOTEL, 98 Parker Street, Dunkeld, 5577 2241. Daily lunch and dinner
Both the relaxed bistro menu and the chef's tasting menu are likely to include high quality Hopkins River Beef, raised on nearby pastureland.
