While this guide has not seen yearly updates like the more popular The Age Good Food guide, it still presents itself as a reliable and relevant guide to eating out in Melbourne. While the first half of its contents is dedicated to descriptions of eateries in Melbourne, organised by cuisine, the second half delves into the wealth of country Victoria's wine producing regions. The descriptions of establishments reviewed in this book while concise, are very informative, indicating the price range of meals, contact information as well as suitability for large group gatherings.
It might be a sign of the times, but a savvy foodie these days would prefer to get information on the best places to eat out on the internet. But even then, Dine Out would still earn a place on our bookshelf, if only for its nostalgic and historic value. W.V.
