Address: Queen Victoria Gardens, St Kilda Road, Melbourne 3004Categories Busby's at Buckingham Best Western has a good one on; not too luxuriously priced. Last year 2016 I thought if going to the Zoo however I heard from lots of random people and those I knew NOT to go to the Zoo on Xmas Day. Why? Thousands of people attend on that day and even the Melbourne Zoo often gives the heads up ' that Christmas Day is the most busiest day on their yearly calendar.
Having read that I decided not to go bc you wouldnt get a car park and there might be queues everywhere.
I drive around everywhere last year trying to find somewhere to eat or buy food to get into the Spirit but the only place I found was Red Rooster locally.
Yep I appreciate it costs to open and might be a bother but if you wanted to eat out it costs a lot of money plus you have to book in now!
Is there an updated list of cafes or restaurants or eateries open on Christmas Day in Melbourne Sth East or St East or other places that don't cost a fortune and perhaps welcomes single diners for Christmas 2016?
I'd just like one or two courses. The zoo sounds fantastic, although pricey. My family is going out for Christmas lunch for the first time ever this year. We will be at Sage in Berwick, our favourite restaurant, as this is local and means we can gather at home for presents first.
