AI Summary

A Carlton wine bar institution since the 1930s, pairing Italian-leaning plates with deep reds.

A historic Lygon Street wine bar with a relaxed, convivial buzz. leafy courtyard, cosy cellar tapas bar, and an upstairs function room for celebrations.

Extensive wine-by-the-glass list, a cellar tapas bar, courtyard and rooftop dining being revamped for summer, complimentary bread, and cocktails customised on request.

Trading since the 1930s with nearly a century of history on Lygon Street; a Sri Lankan chef adds an authentic curry special that reviewers single out.

Food quality is consistently praised, but several reviewers found portions small and pricing steep at roughly $117 per head for a full dinner.
