Melbourne's Queen Victoria Market serves some of the finest Aussie meals in town and affords travellers a memorable opportunity to go sightseeing as well. These are the top 3 dishes to order.
Australia is well known throughout the world for its grills, BBQs, and all cuisine where meat is at its core. For travellers touring Queen Victoria Market which is located in the heart of the city of Melbourne, no trip would be complete without spending time at Bratwurst Shop & Co. and that too at the beginning of the day. To cut a long story short, Bratwurst has a reputation that is unrivalled for serving up the best bratwurst sausages in town, packed with flavour and variety that will have you returning for seconds. Ordering off the menu come breakfast will see you picking and choosing from an assortment of flavours ranging from cheese, chicken, chorizo, black pepper, weisswurst, mushroom, and spicy which can be a tricky affair given the fact that you are bound to want a bite of everything. The grilled sausage is served in a choice of either wholemeal or white bread roll together with a smearing of mustard with customers given more chances to customize their food with helpings of sauces, condiments, and other in-house toppings also included to make for one hearty start to your day in the city.
After a day spent exploring every nook and cranny there is to Melbourne, why not stop at the Queen Victoria Market's Borek Shop for lunch? Named after the signature serving of the place which is in fact a long piece of fried or baked bread, hungry travellers like yourself will be more interested to learn of what comprises the filling. Also referred to as 'yufka,' the dough is as flaky as it gets with the pastry often served with a filling of minced meat, vegetables, or gooey cheese. What makes this dish even more appetizing is the fact that it can be paired with lamb, cheese, and a sprinkling of spinach to cap off lunch that will only see you pocketing out a mere AUD 3.50!
Being on holiday is essentially a guilt-free pass to simply forget every care in the world and give in to your every craving in more ways than one. Thus, being at Queen Victoria Market on a Sunday will present oneself with many an opportunity to eat to your heart's content. Therefore, if you're a huge fan of desserts, yummy snacks, and more specifically, doughnuts, then make a beeline towards the American Doughnut Kitchen. Made to a traditional family recipe beginning from the times of the 1950s, the doughnuts which come in varying shapes & sizes spell amazing with a capital 'A' and in turn, it isn't any wonder to see crowds lining up on a Sunday afternoon eager to snack on the softest dough which melts in your mouth to give way to a flavourful sensation of hot, raspberry jam inside. What's more? These doughnuts are best enjoyed with a hot cuppa coffee to wash down a treat that you will not grow tired of eating. In turn, should you be thinking of touring Queen Victoria Market in the not too distant future, then consider staying at some of the serviced apartments. Southbank provides the ease of checking into properties such as Oaks Melbourne Southbank Suites which is found 2.8 km away from the Market and a good base from where one might plan out many an adventure to the city.
