© 2026 MelbourneLyf. Melbourne food, culture and what's on.

How we work. MelbourneLyf is an independent guide to Melbourne life - food and drink, events, arts, property and city living. We write from first-hand knowledge of the city and check names, places and dates against primary sources before we publish. AI tools help with drafting; a named editor reviews everything and is answerable for it. Spotted something out of date? Write to editor@melbournelyf.com and we will fix it and say what changed.

Read it as a guide, not advice. Opening hours, prices, menus and event dates change often, so it is always worth confirming with a venue or organiser before you set out. Nothing here is financial, legal or professional advice for your particular situation.
