Melbourne Chinatown

For the best of Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai cuisine in a historic environment, don’t miss Chinatown. Situated on Little Bourke Street and the neighbouring lanes between Spring and Swanston streets, restaurants, cafes and Asian grocery stores dominate the precinct.

The oldest Chinatown in Australia, Melbourne Chinatown is a bustling street with people, sounds and smells that entice. The only problem being which venue to choose and which alley to wander. At night when the decorative streetlights are illuminated and restaurant windows are ablaze with lanterns, wind chimes and neon lights, this stretch of acclaimed eating is both colourful and enchanting.

Combine your visit with a browse in the Chinese Museum where you can learn about the extensive Chinese involvement in the early gold mining days. Follow it with a Feng Shui tour or stop at Maxims for Asian pastries.

Further Information

• Chinatown comes alive each year for the Chinese New Year Festival in February or March
