Mercury is not the only thing rising in Melbourne as summer approaches. The Victorian capital's food scene is making headlines, too, starting with the goings-on at Queen Victoria Market. One of the city's most popular dining destinations - for both locals and visitors - the precinct is replacing its old food court with the brand-new Queen's Food Hall in November.

Some of Melbourne's most revered food and beverage haunts will have a presence here, with Bellboy Coffee Bar taking care of your caffeine cravings; The Happy Mexican delivering authentic burritos, nachos and quesadillas; and El Rincon satiating the crowds with mega platters of paella.
In the mood for something more delicate? Head to Melbourne Marriott Hotel, where a New York-style high tea has just arrived, complete with pastrami bagels and Bahamian lobster sliders.

And if you're looking for a fine-dining experience, book a table at Warabi in the heart for the CBD, for the restaurant's new multi-course omakase menu, replete with ridiculously fresh and flavoursome sushi and sashimi. qvm.com.au; marriott.com; warabimelbourne.com
