Melbourne’s dining scene is entering a new golden age, and OpenTable is right at the heart of it with its bold Experiences Month. This celebration brings together the city’s most talked-about restaurants for a series of exclusive, one-night-only events that promise to reimagine the way you dine — think immersive themes, elevated menus, and storytelling on a plate.

OpenTable’s curated calendar is answering that call with flair. Here’s everything you need to know about the five Melbourne restaurants taking part in Experiences Month.
