Hotel Sorrento - the Mornington Peninsula icon - has unveiled its refreshed Dining Room, bringing Mediterranean-inspired plates, local seafood and long lunches to the bay.

Designed by Six Degrees Architects with a beach house in mind, the 200-seat space takes its cues from the timeless Riva runabouts of Lake Como, with warm timber curves, sandstone tiles, an earthy palette and views across Port Phillip.

Executive Chef Beth Candy’s refreshed menu is made for sharing, with highlights including steak tartare, grilled local scallop, woodfired whole market fish and mushroom ricotta gnocchi forno, alongside pub classics done properly. Plus, a new Raw Bar serving oysters, crudo and caviar with buckwheat blinis and crème fraîche.

Long lunches by the bay? We’re ready for summer.

Over the weekend, Raph Rashid flipped burgers for 24 hours straight for Flip A Thon — and Melbourne absolutely showed up.

1,000 burgers sold and $31,701.00 raised for Youth Support + Advocacy Service (Youth Support + Advocacy Service).

A huge thank you to everyone who came down, bought a burger, donated, jumped behind the counter, played tunes, spun the wheel and supported Raph across the 24 hours.

Such an incredible effort from Raph and the whole Melbourne food and music community who got behind it.

$31,701 raised and 1,000 burgers sold, and one very tired flipper.

What a weekend.

KDPO was thrilled to help with the PR for such a brilliant campaign and cause 🤍🤍🤍

Father’s Day plans, sorted.

From steak and a cold b**r to long lunches by the bay, Star Wars coffee for the caffeine-obsessed, Papamisu for the sweet tooth and Lone Star Ranch for the dad who’ll be firing up the BBQ — here’s where to eat, drink and spoil Dad this Father’s Day.

Swipe for our KDPO Father’s Day picks →

Pidapipo - the viral Papamisu is back, with layers of mascarpone gelato, espresso and sweet sherry-soaked Savoiardi, gianduja ganache and chocolate shavings.

ST. ALi COFFEE ROASTERS - choose the light or dark side with its limited-edition Star Wars coffee collection, including two exclusive blends and gift sets for coffee-loving dads.

Marmont - Wagyu steak frites + a schooner of Peroni for $45pp. No novelty gifts required.

Lucia Melbourne - settle in for a long Mediterranean lunch or dinner with the à la carte menu plus Father’s Day specials.

Stokehouse St Kilda Beach — a four-course Father’s Day feast by the bay, starring Westholme wagyu prime rib and finishing with chocolate, hazelnut and smoked wh**ky caramel.

Stokehouse Pasta & Bar - keep things more relaxed with a $100pp share-style menu, complete with casarecce, Father’s Day roast beef and raspberry and white chocolate rotolo.

LONE STAR* - for the BBQ-loving dads, add a bottle of Melbourne-made Original or Vegan Ranch to the Father’s Day spread. Because if it’s savoury, it’s better with ranch.

Father’s Day is Sunday 6 September. Get booking / ordering. 🤝

Chin Chin is officially heading to the Northern Beaches, with Chris Lucas announcing the restaurant will open its second Sydney location in Manly in mid-2027.

Located on Raglan Street, just moments from Manly Beach, Chin Chin Manly will form part of Two Tides, a landmark collaboration between Lucas and leading developer Time & Place.

The 100-seat restaurant will be led by founding chef Benjamin Cooper alongside Chin Chin Sydney Executive Chef Matthew MacLeod, with an open kitchen and bar bringing the smoky grills, fiery woks and fast-paced energy Chin Chin is known for.

Expect all the Chin Chin favourites, including Kingfish Sashimi, Crispy Barramundi & Green Apple Salad and the legendary Massaman Curry, alongside new dishes created exclusively for Manly.

After years of requests from Northern Beaches locals, it’s finally happening.
