From March 5–8, you can score a classic cheeseburger and beer for $30 — ideal for a pre- or post-race pitstop just a short stroll from Lakeside Drive. Bottomless steak Wednesdays at 98 Lygon Wednesday nights just got a whole lot beefier at 98 Lygon. This month, Brunswick East's neighbourhood bistro is plating up as much dry-aged, grass-fed porterhouse, golden frites and velvety peppercorn sauce as you can handle for $69, with the odd off-menu special thrown in for good measure. To match, select cellar pours and large-format bottles — usually available by the bottle only — are being poured by the glass. The special runs until the end of March. Book your table here.

Available nightly for $195, the evolving format explores age, feed and cut in a single sitting, with dishes like grass-fed Gippsland black angus rib eye presented as two distinct muscles and served with Victorian wattleseed mole and blue-corn tortillas, MB8+ dry-aged sirloin tartare finished with kangaroo grass and barley crisp, and a Gippsland Jersey yoghurt sorbet with mango and green ants to finish. Add a Victorian-led drinks pairing for an extra $120.

The $39 offer also includes salad and warm baguette, with bottomless red or white wine available for an extra $25. Book your spot here. Two-for-one margaritas at Hotel Nacional Head up to Hardware Lane's Mexican-inspired rooftop bar for a new weekday happy hour.

Every day between 3–5pm, you can score three skewers — choose from caprese, lamb and apricot, or octopus with chorizo and black garlic — and an Aperol or limoncello spritz for $30. Whatever you choose, it's best enjoyed on the openair terrace overlooking St Kilda Beach. New dishes, cocktails from $10 and anytime bottomless brunch at Arcadia Café & Bar Gertrude Street stalwart Arcadia has unveiled a refreshed menu packed with comfort-driven crowd-pleasers and lighter seasonal plates.
