The Melbourne 40th Birthday Planning Checklist

By 40, plenty of people want a party built around good food and room to talk, with dancing optional. Melbourne has several ways to do that. At Otao Kitchen in Abbotsford (From $159 per person) and Brunswick Kitchen (From $145 per person), guests cook the meal together and then sit down to eat it, and Relish Mama in Sandringham gives private groups the whole kitchen. For a dinner someone else cooks, Amatrice in Cremorne serves shared Italian menus on level 10 with a skyline outlook, From $79 per person.

Private rooms suit the dinner-party version of a 40th. The Coppin Room @ The Spread Eagle Hotel in Richmond seats 32, From $500 minimum spend, and the Private Dining Room @ The Lincoln in Carlton seats 30, From $2,500 minimum spend. The Bowery Room @ Builders Arms Hotel in Fitzroy has its own open kitchen and bar for up to 100.

If the 40th is a bigger event:

  • A whole floor: Level One @ The Hawthorn Hotel holds up to 400 standing with its own bar and stage, From $37 per person
  • A casino night: Party Party Casino brings tables and dealers to your venue or home
  • Inner-city pubs: Hotel Collingwood (From $42 per person) and City Bar @ Corner Hotel in Richmond (From $40 per person)
  • Lakeside in the west: WestWaters in Caroline Springs has ballrooms and a balcony beside Lake Caroline
