Food
Our menu is grounded in European tradition — classic, well-executed dishes made to be enjoyed properly.
Alongside the staples, you’ll find a selection that shifts with the season — shaped by instinct, produce, and a genuine love of cooking. It’s food designed to be shared, lingered over, and returned to.
Tipples
(Drinks)
Tippler (noun): one who enjoys a drink.
Our drinks list is considered and balanced — spanning wine, beer, and cocktails. Whether it’s a quick glass, a bottle for the table, or something stronger to start or finish the night, there’s something here for every kind of tippler.

The Mural Room
The Mural Room is a space shaped by history and character — once home to Café Balzac and part of Melbourne’s early dining culture.
Today, it’s been reworked into a refined, intimate setting overlooking Yarra Park and the city. A space designed for long lunches, celebrations, and occasions that call for something a little more special.
