5 Restaurants For Groups in South Melbourne, Melbourne

As well as being extremely cosmopolitan, the restaurants of Melbourne's South Melbourne district vary in style from the simple and homey to the youthful and vibrant. There's a domestic feeling to places like Spikito on Park Street, a Greek taverna where you can graze on sharing plates of pickled octopus and fried zucchini among old family photos. Meanwhile there's a party vibe to venues such as Simply Spanish on Cecil Street – who can resist a few jugs of sangria to wash down their authentic paella and tapas? Or for something cool and funky, try Japanese bars like Salon de Sushi, which has décor as colourful as its seafood combo platters.
