Our favourite pasta restaurant in Melbourne is Tipo00. There is always a line and it is getting incredibly difficult to get a spot at this restaurant without pre-planning. But I have to say that the pasta is truly fantastic. The name"Tipo00" is also the finest milled type of flour available in Italy that is used in pasta making which makes a super smooth, elastic and silky dough for fresh egg pasta.

TarraWarra Estate Restaurant is located in Yarra Glen and was awarded 1 Chef Hat this year. In total, TarraWarra Estate Restaurant currently holds a total of 13 Chef Hats.

We visited the 3 Chef Hatted Amaru in Armadale, Melbourne. Amaru currently sits with a total of 19 Chef Hats and by definition of the Australian Good Food Guide, puts it in the category of "Superlative Food and Wine: Internationally Acclaimed" and worth a special journey. Similar to what you would expect from a 3 Michelin Starred restaurant.

Attica is Ben Shewry's brainchild. And one that remains truly authentic to its ethos of respect for the land.
