But it's Melbournites with beautiful glowing skin that know that ReVive's Moisturising Renewal Cream is the ultimate moisturiser in town. There's nothing not to love about Dr Brown's ReVive - and we especially love parading the famed Revive glow around town only two weeks after using it. Love.

Nestled up to Grossi Florentino’s is our longtime love – Cellar Bar. Sharing a kitchen with its famed neighbour, Cellar Bar is a fraction of the price but still serves up delicious and delectable Italian fare. We've especially fallen for their pumpkin ravioli with sage leaves – one bowl is never enough.

We love rediscovering old favourites. A few years ago when Max Brenner first hit our shores we fell in love with the chocolate suckao. Our biggest problem? Did we want white, dark or milk chocolate? Nine years later and our chocolate suckao love is stronger than ever. It's the delicate art of melting our own hot chocolates that's irresistible! Yum.

While Melbournites love a good Mexican meal, it seems they love a good Mexican meal with a killer margarita even more. We stumbled on Amigos a few weeks ago and instantly feel for their friendly service, amazing food and dangerously drinkable Grand Gold margaritas. A must have.

Think sweaty, wet, fruit and salad and what comes to mind? It's gotta be Melbourne's very own Gameboy/Gamegirl. For people in 'electro know', these guys hold the key to the perfect party beats. With songs about pumps, rumps, cucumbers and cherries - they're seriously fun stuff. We especially love Sweaty Wet Dirty Damp.

This dark, downstairs bar is a Melbourne favourite. Loved by those in the know, it's the place to be in winter for a warm Sake or imported beer with friends. The best bit - they serve food till 1am on Saturday's, including the most loved fries in Melbourne - Shanghai Fries seasoned with seaweed. A must.
