Food and drink at Ovolo Hotel Melbourne

• Hotel restaurant

  Ovolo doesn't have a restaurant, but with so many rated local dining spots, you ain't going to starve. The softly lit, seating-lined lobby acts as a sociable space for informal grazing though, offering a 'Grab n Go' breakfast of pastries, muffins, fruit and juice; you're welcome to make yourself a Harney & Sons tea or Nespresso coffee all day, too. Need a sugar hit? You'll love the retro chewing-gum-ball machine.

• Dress code Gals bring your best black frock and Converse trainers; guys, think skinny jeans and facial hair, perfect for chiming in with the graffiti-chic going down here.
• Top table Outdoors on your view-blessed terrace table if you've bagged the Penthouse. The huge indoor table in the kitchen/lounge is pretty convivial, too.
• Room service Ovolo hopes to offer room service, via a local restaurant, in 2013. Until then content yourself with the generous minibar, replenished daily, boasting beer, wine, water, fizzy fruit drinks and a Lootbag of crisps, cookies, nuts, mints and sweets.
• Hotel bar

  There's no bar at Ovolo, but swing by the lobby between 6pm and 8pm to join in the relaxed 'happy hour' or tuck into your free minibar drinks. The latter includes Thai Singha beer and two glasses of Lupé wines, packaged in recycable plastic glasses. Guests in the Penthouse can also buy wine from the Ovolo team, which you can cool in the massive fridge.
