The Deck Southbank

Southgate's intimate all-day spot for standout risotto, coffee and pre-theatre dining.

An intimate, small dining room with a black-and-white theme and river and city views, running from a relaxed morning coffee spot to an elegant pre-theatre dinner room.

House-baked bread and morning pastries including madeleines, a compact but well-chosen wine-by-the-glass list, and riverside window seating over the Yarra.

European technique shows through in the risotto, cacio e pepe and house-baked bread, reflecting a considered modern-European kitchen with a strong Italian thread.

Set at a higher price point, but the pre-theatre set menu and lunch specials are repeatedly called good value; a la carte mains occasionally draw complaints about portion size for the price.
