Tucked away on Russell Street in Melbourne’s CBD, Embla is a wood-fired wine bar and modern Australian restaurant that redefines casual fine dining. The menu celebrates seasonality and local produce through bold, inventive dishes, matched with a wine list championing small, independent makers from Australia and beyond.

Set in the landmark Cavendish House, Gimlet blends vintage glamour with modern Melbourne flair. From oysters to wood-fired mains and martinis, it’s a place made for every occasion.

Modern Asian dining with bold, cross-cultural energy. Chef Andrew McConnell’s Supernormal blends Japanese, Korean, and Chinese influences — from lobster rolls to peanut-butter parfait — earning its spot among Melbourne’s most iconic restaurants.

A Melbourne institution since 1986, it charms with classic French cuisine and an extensive wine list in an authentic brasserie setting.
