Chiara Wine Bar

Docklands wine bar blending Italian and French plates in a relaxed, stylish room.

Warm and stylish with a post-work buzz. reviewers describe it as a little bit fancy but relaxed at once, good for a date, a client lunch or a wine-in-hand catch-up.

Seasonal truffle menu (truffle toast and fries during truffle month), a wine list mixing French, Italian and Australian picks, and kitchen accommodation for gluten intolerance including GF bread with olive oil.

Not a heritage-driven kitchen. reviewers frame it as a modern Italian-French blend with an Australian wine list rather than a traditional regional cuisine.

Split reviews on value: most call the food and $3 oyster happy hour well worth it, but one reviewer was charged $24 a glass after happy hour pricing was discontinued and found the wine unremarkable for the price.
