Top Birthday Party Restaurants in Melbourne
Why Melbourne is the Perfect Place to Celebrate Birthdays
If Melbourne is anything to go by, it knows how to party, and birthdays do receive really big celebrations in the city. With an exciting food-scape, outdoor spaces all around, and some form of multicultural atmosphere in the air, one really cannot complain of having one too many options to choose from as birthday venues.
From a first-birthday party and teen parties to dinner with friends late into the night, the city caters to any age and taste that comes locally or from across the border. All that's left to do is soak some rays, get some street art going on, and ride the city's energy.
All of that aside, if a high-energy, tasty, and shareable Mexican fiesta has top billing on your party list of wanted events, then you're probably on the right track.

That of venues is a long series, especially when they so happen to be arranging a birthday party. Here are some considerations to bear in mind when scoping Melbourne restaurants:
Ambiance
Does the space feel warm and welcoming? Are guests likely to let their hair down?
Group Spaces
Consider places with booth seats or outdoor tables and, preferably, a private room for larger groups.
Kids' Menu and Facilities
High chairs, fun food options, a play area or something for them to keep busy are must-haves if children are the guests.

Could you book online? Is there a minimum spend or fixed-menu trattoria for parties?

Ask if the menu is able to cater to the most common allergies and preferences.
Location and Parking
Is there good access through public transport, and is there parking nearby?
