Restaurants in Collingwood, Melbourne

As well as the usual Chinese and Thai-themed restaurants, Melbourne's Collingwood also has Vietnamese places like Tonkin on Smith Street, where you can tingle your taste buds with five spice squid, soy-glazed salmon skewers and chicken wings dipped in ginger. There are also several places offering East African food, such as The Horn on Johnston Street – try the doro wat (a stew made with chicken and eggs) and the vegetarian options seasoned with authentic spices. For something more casual, head to one of the local bar-bistros like Rupert on Rupert Street, where you can graze on flavoursome sharing plates as you sip on freshly-shaken cocktails.
