About Melbourne Lovers

Welcome to Melbourne Lovers, your local guide to discovering the best of Melbourne, from local businesses and places to eat to things to do across the wider Melbourne region.

Chloe, the founder of Melbourne Lovers, grew up in Richmond and has always enjoyed exploring different parts of Melbourne. Whether it’s discovering hidden laneway cafés, walking along the Yarra River, or spending weekends out in the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula or along the Great Ocean Road, there’s always something new to experience.

Melbourne is one of those places where you can spend the morning exploring the city, the afternoon discovering local neighbourhoods, and the evening enjoying great food, events or entertainment.

What Chloe noticed early on was how many great local businesses in Melbourne don’t always get the visibility they deserve. Across the city, suburbs and surrounding areas, there are small businesses doing great work that can be hard to find without the right platform.

That’s where Melbourne Lovers comes in.

It’s a place where you can find trusted local businesses in Melbourne, discover new places to eat, and explore things to do without spending hours searching online. Everything is designed to help you connect with the local community and support businesses across the region.

Chloe strongly believes in supporting local. The cafés, tradies, shops and service providers across Melbourne are what give each area its character, and choosing local helps keep that community strong.

Whether you’ve lived in Melbourne your whole life or you’re just visiting, there’s always more to explore. Melbourne Lovers is here to help you find it.
