Best Restaurants Near Australian Open 2027
Minamishima, Richmond
A serious choice for a big Australian Open night, Minamishima is one of Melbourne’s benchmark Japanese restaurants and a strong pick when you want dinner to feel like the main event after centre-court seats. Book well ahead, expect a refined omakase-style experience, and allow enough time to get there from Melbourne Park without rushing.
Anchovy, Richmond
Anchovy is ideal for visitors who want something distinctly Melbourne rather than a generic “near the stadium” meal. The cooking leans smart, fresh and expressive, making it a good fit for a long lunch before an evening session or a relaxed dinner after day tennis.
France-Soir, South Yarra
France-Soir is a dependable South Yarra classic for late, lively, brasserie-style dining. It works especially well if you are staying south of the river and want steak frites, seafood, wine and a room that still feels busy after the tennis crowd starts moving.
Cumulus Inc., Melbourne CBD
Cumulus Inc. is a practical CBD option for Australian Open visitors because it suits breakfast, lunch, dinner or a pre-session snack without feeling like a compromise. Go for polished share plates, strong service and a location that keeps you close to trams, trains and the walk back toward the sports precinct.
Supernormal, Melbourne CBD
Supernormal is a crowd-pleaser for groups, especially if everyone wants something polished but not too formal. The menu’s Japanese, Korean and broader Asian influences make it easy to build a shared table before heading to Melbourne Park or continuing into the city afterwards.
Local Tips
For Australian Open dining, Richmond is usually the most useful suburb to understand first. Melbourne Park sits close to Richmond Station, Swan Street and Bridge Road, so restaurants here can save you from fighting CBD traffic or queueing around the arena precinct.
Book dinner earlier than you normally would during the tournament. A 5:30pm or 6:00pm table is often smarter before a night session, while a later 9:00pm booking can work after an early-finishing match if the venue serves late enough.
South Yarra is better for a more polished post-tennis night, especially if you are staying around Domain, Toorak Road or Chapel Street. It is close enough to feel convenient but far enough from Melbourne Park to avoid the most obvious event crush.
The CBD is the safest choice for groups with mixed budgets and hotel locations. Choose Flinders Lane and the eastern CBD if you want to keep the journey simple, because those areas connect well to trams, walking routes and rideshare pickup points.
If a match runs long, do not assume your booking can slide. During Australian Open weeks, restaurants near Richmond, South Yarra and the CBD are busy with tennis fans, corporate groups and summer visitors, so call the venue if the session starts drifting.
For a quick reference point, Broadsheet’s Richmond guide highlights Richmond as a suburb with standout dining, including names such as Anchovy and Minamishima.
FAQ
What suburb is best for restaurants near the Australian Open?
Richmond is usually the most convenient suburb because it is close to Melbourne Park, Richmond Station and Swan Street. South Yarra and the CBD are better if you want a broader choice of polished restaurants before or after tennis.
Should I book restaurants during Australian Open 2027?
Yes. January is busy in Melbourne, and Australian Open dates make popular restaurants harder to secure, especially for dinner and late sittings.
What kind of restaurant works best before a night session?
Choose somewhere with reliable service, share-friendly dishes and a location close to trains or trams. Richmond and the eastern CBD are the easiest choices if you want to eat well without adding travel stress.
