Last Monday I found myself wondering around Smith, Gertrude and Brunswick Streets trying to find a decent restaurant to have dinner in.  A number of places I wanted to try had their lights off so we struck onto our next option – to find exactly the same thing – closed.  We were also asked by some wayward tourists as to dinner recommendations but were hesitant to help as many of our hot tips may be been closed.

So in light of this I am presenting Melbourne Restaurants Open on Monday Nights to combat that aimless wandering around town with fingers crossed.  I provide direct links to the website of each restaurant and also through to Urbanspoon so you can keep your finger on the pulse of each establishment.

Keep on sharking…

p.s. After looking at all of the restaurant websites I could become a consultant in what not to do when designing a restaurant website.  Dear lord there are some shockers (Music, Flash, Load Time, Design, Front Page Basics and the like) – especially from the higher end.  But I may keep that as a separate blog post.

Looking for something different?
