As we come to the end of the year, Ross and Kate asked listeners what their favourite dining destinations were for 2017.

With help from food writer Leanne Clancey, they explored which restaurants stood out across Victoria.

And they weren’t necessarily those which cost you an arm and a leg.

Leanne’s top five:

5 — Miznon – 59 Hardware Ln, Melbourne

4 — My Tho – 366 High St, Preston

3 — Bar Tini – 3-5 Hosier Lane, Melbourne

2 — Bar Carolina – 44 Toorak Rd, South Yarra
