For the Melburnians not swapping scarves for swimsuits in Europe this winter, we’ve got just the thing to keep you warm. We’ve curated a guide to some of the best lunch spots that will warm you up.

Rhumbas
Craving a good old-fashioned Sunday roast any day of the week? Try Rhumbas' hot roast lamb and pork sandwiches, made fresh right in front of you. Add in their oven-baked pies and hearty sides, and you’ve got a warm winter lunch done right.

Old Man Pho
Nothing beats a steaming bowl of pho when the temperature drops. Old Man Pho delivers just that with options including beef, chicken, tofu and more. It's fresh, flavourful, and guaranteed to warm you up.

Souperman
When it's cold outside, soup is always a good idea. Souperman serves up homemade soups using only the freshest ingredients. Bonus: they’re gluten-free too.

Meister
Coffee’s great, but on a chilly afternoon, sometimes all you need is a rich, creamy hot chocolate. Meister makes a perfect one – the ideal sweet treat to beat the 3pm slump.

Chiara Wine Bar 
Missing Europe? Chiara Bar has the next best thing – their $40 Pasta & Vino deal. Sip on a glass of wine while eating away a comforting bowl of pasta.
