Hi once again, folks. A while back I had a number of posts and replies with the good folks on this board about dining in Melbourne. The focus at that time was primarily restaurants for dinner, and between your help and my research I think I've managed to assemble a pretty good list of the top dinner offerings, with a nice range of cuisines. I'm returning here now for a Part 2: Lunches.

Ideally, I'd like to find some spots that are easier on the wallet than some of our places booked for dinner, although price is not the primary consideration. So with that in mind, I'm wondering if anyone would care to offer up a few suggestions for places for casual, somewhat moderately priced lunches during our trip next month. All cuisines, pubs, cafes, etc welcome, good list of Australian wines by the glass a plus.

We are staying at the Crowne Plaza, and in three days won't be going too far afield from the CBD north of the Yarra, and the National Gallery to the south. My lunch list under consideration thus far: Hu Tong Dumpling, Din Tai Fong, Tim Ho Wan, Pastuso, Mo Vida. Anybody have a pub they would like to add? Ever had lunch at one of the places at Fed Square? (Asking due to its convenient location to the Ian Potter Centre.)

BTW, I'm posting a similar request on the Sydney dining thread, if anyone cares to share recommendations over there. Many thanks--and I promise a full report on both cities when we return!
