Aru Delights 🦆

Exploring Melbourne? Don’t miss a flavor-packed adventure at ARU Restaurant right in the heart of the CBD 🍤🔥 From inventive bites to seriously memorable mains, this spot will blow up your tastebuds! Must-Try Dishes at ARU: – Bon marrow wagyu tongue: Rich, buttery, and unforgettable! – Spanner crab wasabi toast: Creamy crab, a wasabi kick, and perfect crunch—so good you’ll want seconds. – Lamb spring roll: Crispy outside, tender lamb inside, great to share (or not!). – King prawn: Fresh, succulent, and beautifully plated. Snap a pic for your feed! – Forbidden rice sourdough: Nutty-flavored bread that’s not just a side—it’s an experience. – Dry aged suck: Juicy, crispy skin, deep flavors, and a must for meat lovers. – Porterhouse: Tender, perfectly charred beef—the steak dreams are made of. – Cheesecake: End your feast with this dessert—light but decadent. Top Insight: Book ahead! ARU gets busy, especially for dinner and their special chef’s tastings. Midday visits mean more natural light (hello, food snaps!), and the vibe is relaxed enough for casual meals or celebrations. Getting There: ARU Restaurant, 268 Little Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000. Tram stops nearby (Bourke St or Swanston St). Most city hotels are walkable—plus you’re close to street shops and night spots. How to Eat: Order a spread & share! Everything comes out quick, fresh, and Instagram-worthy. Don’t be shy about mixing dishes—staff is super helpful with pairing drinks and plates. Extras: Melbourne weather can flip fast—pack a light jacket. Most payments are cashless and tipping isn’t required but always appreciated. #melbourneeats #arurestaurant #foodietravel #tasteaustralia #michelinmoments

SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium

Melbourne Highlights: Exploring Fitzroy Markets, Sea Life & Sips 🍞🐧 Melbourne after dark is pure magic — think neon-lit laneways, bustling markets and trendy locals hopping between bars. If you want the full flavor, start your day in Fitzroy. Stroll the market stalls for crazy good bread, fluffy pastries and no-frills meat rolls (tip: don’t be shy about tasting samples; vendors here love a chat!). The area is buzzing with creative energy and is perfect for street photography or simply soaking up that artsy vibe. Head next to SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium (King St, VIC 3000). It’s open 10:00–17:00 weekdays, or earlier on weekends/holidays, so time your visit right — especially on cloudy/rainy days when indoor exploring feels extra cozy. Be sure to check out the penguin zone for adorable close-ups and the sleek modern architecture throughout the space. Advance tickets are a must (AU$161) during peak times! Round out your night at Marion wine bar. Melbourne’s evenings are all about bright shopfronts, glowing signs and people everywhere, making Marion the perfect spot for wine flights and people-watching. Their local cheese and charcuterie boards are unbeatable — pair with a Victorian red and linger as the city hums outside. Getting Around: Trams make hopping between locations a breeze, and Fitzroy’s walkable streets are ideal for market-hopping. Food Tip: Sample everything fresh and save space for a big bread haul! Destination Tips: Bring an umbrella — Melbourne changes from sunny to rainy fast, especially when you’re planning aquarium time. Cash isn’t essential; cards accepted everywhere. #MelbourneEats #FitzroyMarkets #SEA_LIFE #WineBarAdventures #TravelWithTrip
