![]() La Pinta, Reservoir Credit: La Pinta, InstagramĬatherine Chauchat sticks to Boire’s admirable minimalism with her new 30-seat tapas bar, La Pinta. Chat so far has positioned Farmer’s Daughters as the most delicious showcase of provenance the city has seen in quite some time no arguments here. Though all have been designed with a clear love of Gippsland’s natural beauty, the three levels are vastly different: a ground-floor deli with Berrys Creek cheese, Tarago olives, and meats like Bass Strait beef whipped into a beef-cheek pastrami the David Boyle-led restaurant where Baw Baw trout is served with caviar and mountain-pepper cream, Cherry Tree Organics lamb is kept simple with sprouting broccoli, and a dedicated vegan menu shares the faith of flavours packed by charcoal and wood and an angled rooftop bar which tops the experience with smoky cocktails, exclusive brewery collaborations, and a preference towards Australian spirits. Farmer’s Daughters is that shrine: a beastly three-floor venue built into the multi-million-dollar development of 80 Collins, led by Pastuso’s unwavering Alejandro Saravia, who has been championing Gippsland for years now. Victoria has long been known as the country’s seat of peerless produce, particularly the bountiful Gippsland region with its rich cohort of passionate farmers and winemakers, so it’s high time the region is enshrined in the state’s capital. ![]() I’d like to say the idea behind Farmers Daughters is wildly ambitious, but it’s not. The focus is on locally sourced ingredients and rich flavours, with dishes like Yarra Valley caviar and a premium grilled cheese sandwich with cheddar, brie, wholegrain mustard, and proscuitto served up alongside wines from Peregrine, craft beer from Garage Project, and coffee from Coffee Supreme from a bespoke terrazzo bar.Īddress: 1341 Dandenong Rd, Chadstone VIC 3148įarmer’s Daughters, CBD Credit: Thom Rigney, Farmer’s Daughters Given The Lodge Bar Queenstown, and The Lodge Bar & Dining Auckland have both been incredibly well-received, The Lodge Bar Myer Chadstone should easily get over well with Melbourne’s demanding diners. Now the seamless blend of fashion, food and wine sits, designed to welcome tired and hungry shoppers with fine food and wine from chef Matt Lambert and Master Sommelier Cameron Douglas. New Zealand menswear brand Rodd & Gunn have bought Australia its very first iteration of The Lodge Bar, their unique hospitality concept which is tied to the Rodd & Gunn concession at Myer Chadstone. ![]() Melbourne’s appetite for a good new food menu, whether that’s some fresh modern take on French food or interesting takes on local seafood, knows no bounds. We’re tracking cafes, bars, and diners as well as more traditional restaurants, because as long as the focus is primarily on food, or there’s a strong dining component, it’s a restaurant to us.Īnd while it’s always a good idea to head along to somewhere like Vue de Monde to see what executive chef Hugh Allen is up to, or cosy on up to a few glasses at Carlton Wine Room, you’re shooting yourself in the foot if you aren’t taking advantage of just how much Melbourne’s world-renowned restaurant scene has evolved over the years. This list will be updated as news rolls in and the list of best new restaurants in Melbourne swells, but for now, here are the ones you should get your tastebuds across if you really want to eat like an in-the-know king, whether you want a good neighbourhood wine bar or dedicated dining room to get across. ![]() There’s a lot to get your head around, so here’s a list of the best new restaurants Melbourne has to offer in 2021, both recently opened and fresh-faced, or coming in the next few months. And that’s not even scratching the surface of Australia’s famously dynamic culinary capital this year. A newly opened restaurant from Chris Lucas and Martin Benn (Society), a new pop-up from Attica, and a three-tiered tribute to the bountiful region of Gippsland, Victoria. Melbourne’s swathe of constantly spoiled gourmands has a lot to look back on, and a lot to look forward to as we dive into the final months of 2021. ![]()
