What to expect
Flinders Ln
You may know Flinders Lane has some of Australia's best restaurants, however did you know that it has some of Melbourne's best dumplings too? We start our tour with two distinctly different stops in this neighborhood.
Learn about one of the oldest Chinese settlements outside of China - and (maybe predictably) we taste dumplings here too.
