Eateries We Can’t Get Enough Of
It’s clear that Melbourne goes above and beyond to surprise us with ongoing eateries and picturesque hideouts to host events. With all things boozy and delicious the city is buzzed with designer arcades, vegan outlets, and wine bars that will quench your thirst.
We take a look at a handful of Melbourne’s newer openings that are lined with character to host your next private dinner or cocktail event.
Messer Fitzroy:
The team behind Copper Pot Seddon has introduced their second European inspired restaurant.
Chef Ashley Davis has a focus on peak-season produce from the markets and designing dishes that bring the ingredients to life. With a buzzing ambiance of up to 50 seated guests, Messer’s interior embraces all textures and contrasting colours making it a stunning setting to wine and dine.
Matilda:
Situated across the road from the Botanical Gardens in South Yarra, Matilda is set to take diners on both a visual and sensory journey. Embracing all things Australian, Matilda features locally sourced wooden sculptured table, along with fittings that resemble the earthy redness of the centre of our country. Owner Scott Picket has focused on fresh local produce that is mainly cooked on an open fire. With facilities to cater up to 150 guests, Matilda is one to keep in mind for fine food bursting with flavour.
Angus & Bon:
For a more casual approach, Angus & Bon has brought a New York style steakhouse to Greville Street. Occupying the old 1928 Prahran Post Office, the venue is host to a moody interior featuring booth seating, exposed brick and timber walls. Known for its bottomless brunch on the weekends with cocktails in abundance, you’ll find nothing short of flavour at Angus & Bon. Be sure to try the Grass-fed beef aged 30-50 days.
Longsong:
Once a horse stable used in the mid-1900’s, Longsong’s lofty space is quite impressive. The styling is contemporary with timber cladding, exposed brick walls, original rustic stable floors, and a high roof that allows for an abundance of dramatic light. Hanging from the ceiling are white glowing lanterns resembling Thailand’s floating lantern tradition while fusing both the modern dining aspects and Asian theme together.
Since launching Longsong has come to life within the events space. Catering for between 20 and 250 people, this venue offers extensive options for corporate and private events alike.
Recently relocated into the old Port Melbourne courthouse dating to 1860, the heritage listed building provides a beautiful aesthetic for weddings and functions. With the original floor to ceiling boards, beautiful lead light windows, Ciao Cielo has a charm of sophistication and character. Guests can expect to be greeted in the beautiful gardens adorn with glamourous palms and creeping grape fines. With Mediterranean cuisines bursting with flavour, the space has been transformed into a striking event space.
