Food around South Yarra/Melbourne

Hi folks,
I'm heading down to Melbourne this week and wondering what's around South Yarra to eat? I don't know my way around Melbourne and open to all cuisines.

Also, if there is anything new and notable around the city any tips would be welcome too.

Thanks in advance.

      France Soir is on Toorak Road for very good steak frites -
      Sel de La Terre, also on Toorak Road, very classic, well executed, delicious
      Ecco, also on Toorak Road, great pizzas and risotti
      Gaia, on Avoca Street, great breakfast

      In the city, Rockpool was very, very good and new!

      Are you staying in South Yarra?

          Is Rockpool owned by the same restaurant owners in Sydney?
