Melbourne is one of the best cities in the world to enjoy a holiday. The coffee culture is popular as are the restaurants and night entertainment options. There is one more lure that makes Melbourne a foodie's haven—the desserts. Here is a list of five delicious desserts in Melbourne you must try.
Head over to Tipo OO and try their take on the classic Italian Tiramisu, Topomisu! That's right, there is a dessert named topomisu and it's decadently delicious. You will love the little twist on the classic that this dessert offers as it's made on a base of rich gooey brownie with a topping of creamy mascarpone cream and let's not forget, rum. The dish comes to your table dripping in a sauce of salted espresso, dark chocolate, and rich caramel. If you are looking for a good eatery, choose one that's central to the CBD thus encouraging you to be a foodie and enjoy the best cuisine the city has to offer. A hotel near Melbourne the likes of Avani Melbourne Central Residences would be a great place to stay as it makes travel and excursions easy.
Make your way to the bustling Queen Victoria Market and seek out the charmingly retro American Kitchen Doughnut Kitchen food truck. Join the enthusiastic crowd as they eagerly line up, anticipating the opportunity to indulge in the delectable sugary delights. These crunchy doughnuts, with their fluffy interior and delightful jam fillings, embody the pure joys of life and are an absolute must-try when exploring Melbourne.
Served at Supernormal run by award winning chef Andrew McConnel, this version of peanut butter parfait will have you hankering for more even once you get back home. Served with layers of salted caramel and oozy soft chocolate cream, the dessert is undoubtedly one of the best in Melbourne.
Head over to the Sake restaurant and try their dessert called Nihon Nemesis. Its white chocolate influenced 'dragon eggs' served atop a bed of creamy chocolate mousse, passionfruit cream and a rich layer of warm miso caramel. The best part is when you taste the yuzu jelly, which helps to pop the richness of the chocolate mousse.
The version of this dessert served at Lollo is going to make you a fan of Bombe Alaska forever. Lollo's version of the dessert involves shards of crisp meringue creating a fence around a heart of ice cream and rich sorbet.
