AI Summary

Carlton North wine bar with inventive produce-led plates, natural wines and a cosy open fire

Warm, cosy and relaxed: open fire, considered lighting, good music at a level that still allows conversation, and an art-filled room with outdoor seating. Polished but unpretentious.

Open fireplace, a dedicated no-waste Monday menu that changes weekly, happy-hour oysters, a chef’s menu, private dining and event hire, and knowledgeable wine staff who offer tastes before you commit.

Produce-driven Melbourne wine-bar cooking with some French technique (pithivier, confit); described as Modern Australian done well.

Most reviewers find it reasonably priced for the quality, especially the chef’s menu. A few call portions and cocktails small for the price.
