FOR TOP VICTORIAN
PRODUCE: PICKETT’S DELI, T2
Chef Scott Pickett made his name in
Melbourne with upscale fine-dining
restaurants Matilda, Lupo and Estelle by
Scott Pickett, but he also knows his way
around a roast chicken and gravy roll.
Pickett’s Deli & Rotisserie has been
dishing up house-cured bacon and egg
butties and hot chicken sandwiches to
shoppers at Queen Victoria Market since
2016, and now to travellers in Terminal 2.
Chow down on tasty sandwiches and
salads made from the best Victorian
produce, take home a jar of pickles or
preserves, and try not to get hypnotised
by the rotating chook behind the counter.FOR MULTICULTURAL FLAVOURS:
MIDDLE GROUND, T2
Melbourne’s rich history has created
a modern multicultural melting pot
of flavours, with second-generation
chefs such as Shane Delia putting their
own spin on classic dishes from their
childhoods. A pioneer of modern
Middle Eastern flavours on the
Melbourne food scene since he opened
city restaurant Maha in 2008, Shane has
turned his attention to spicing up airport
food with Middle Ground’s vibrant saladbowls and sandwiches. Think healthy,
fresh and heavy on the hummus.FOR A TASTE OF FOOTY FEVER:
AFL KITCHEN & BAR, T3
If you didn’t come to Melbourne for
the food, then there is a good chance
you came for the footy. Victoria’s
obsession with AFL borders on
evangelical during the football season,
so if you can’t beat ‘em, then you may as
well join ‘em at Melbourne Airport’s
AFL Kitchen & Bar. This world-first
concept will unite footy fans and offer
first-timers a taste of what to expect, with
big screens featuring live and classic
matches, occasional player appearances
plus food and refreshments for the
whole family.- To plan your next foodie
