Best European Restaurants in Melbourne

European cuisine, as a broader category, covers dishes and cooking styles drawn from across the continent, hearty Central and Eastern European stews, Mediterranean seafood and olive oil-based cooking, and French or Italian technique-driven dishes all fall under this label. Restaurants grouped here typically don't identify with one single national cuisine, instead drawing on European cooking traditions more generally. It's a useful catch-all for browsing rather than a specific culinary style.
