Brico Melbourne

Intimate Carlton North wine bar serving produce-forward small plates and low-intervention wine.

Cosy, intimate neighbourhood wine bar with a buzzy but warm energy; casual-chic decor, a courtyard that catches afternoon sun, and a soundtrack that stays conversational rather than loud.

Induction cooktops instead of gas, a low-intervention wine list focused on local producers, an upstairs private dining room for group bookings, and staff who talk diners through the wine list in depth.

Not tied to a single national cuisine. a produce-driven small-plates menu with French (rillettes, escabeche), Italian (vongole, risotto) and Mediterranean (taramasalata) technique filtered through a modern Australian wine-bar lens.

Mains run up to around $60 and wine around $90 a bottle; most reviewers call it worth it for the quality, though one 3-star review found value underwhelming on a limited by-the-glass red list.
