Just as we shake off tennis fever after a mega Australian Open, another global sporting event is right around the corner: the Formula One Australian Grand Prix. As Melburnians, all eyes are on our very own Oscar Piastri racing for McLaren, and we’re extra giddy that rev heads can get among the post-race action once again with the return of the famed Track Walk. But in our humble opinion, the food is the real star of the show.  This year, the trackside culinary offering for a general punter is the strongest yet. We’re talking some of the city’s best restaurants, bars and eateries making huge debuts to fuel Albert Park, alongside a bunch of returning fan faves. Park Pass at the ready, here is everything you should be racing to eat and drink if you’re heading to the Grand Prix in 2025. Looking for somewhere else to eat after the race? Walk to one of the 16 best restaurants in St Kilda.
