Reminiscing about Melbourne restaurants of the 80s

Over lunch with Michael Hince we reminisced about dining in Melbourne in the 1980s. We really missed:

• Hermann Schneider’s Two Faces in Toorak and then at Delgany
• Glo Glos in Toorak
• Fannys in Lonsdale street, Melbourne CBD
• Rogalsky’s in South Melbourne
• Memories of the Mediterranean in Melbourne CBD
• Last Aussie Fish Caf in South Melbourne
• De Chaineux in South Melbourne
• Marchetti’s Latin in Melbourne CBD
• Fleurie
• Pearl in Richmond
• Jacques Reymond in Windsor and Richmond
• Tsindos in Melbourne CBD
• Jean Jacques (and then Jean Jacques by the Sea)
• Maxims in Toorak, initially in Carters Ave and then in the Hotel Como
• Rubira’s (although that has now resurfaced) in Fitzroy
• Clichy
• Mietta’s in Melbourne CBD
• Mietta’s at Queenscliff
• Watsons Place Hotel in Melbourne CBD
• Paul Bocuse in Melbourne CBD at Daimaru
• Stephanie’s in Hawthorn
• Gertrude Street Enoteca
• Le Restaurant at the Regent Hotel, Level 35

There’s a nice story about some other places here and here. Have you longed for a long-gone restaurant?
