This book explores Melbourne's nooks and crannies, upstairs and downstairs and through the complex laneway system. Beautiful photography, history, recipe, street art, restaurants and bars - all come together in this exciting new book about Melbourne's food and wine scene. Showcasing restaurants like Guy Grossi's Florentino and Merchant, Martin Pirc's Punch Lane and Aaron Whitney's Portello Rosso are showcased with stories about their history and what makes them legendary today. Bars like Madame Brussells, Rooftop Cinema, Bar 1806 and Emerald Peacock, to name only a few, are also featured, sharing information about their secret cocktails and venues. For the locals who want to know, and the visitors who want to view Melbourne through the eyes of a local, this book is a must-read, and an exceptional guide to what is on offer in food and wine.

After the international success of Flavours of Melbourne, there was an obvious need to publish a sequel to showcase Melbourne's thriving urban food scene. Flavours of Urban Melbourne showcases the profound ebbs and flows of styles and cultures within the cafe and restaurant culture in this capital city of food.
