We attended a wedding here last night, 3/3/18, the food was excellent.....we were sated, the drinks flowed and the music was loud. The staff were fantastic, we can't remember being anywhere where ALL the staff were friendly, accomodating and just so nice....all night long. CONGRATULATIONS, you have it ALL in your lovely plant filled place in Collingwood
My wife had her 40th at RoR with about 70 people in the private room and we both had such a fantastic experience at the venue and with the staff. First rate..
Great hidden restaurant in a converted warehouse in Collingwood. Stunning decor on the inside with all the plants around. Great cocktails selections and they have happy hour too if you come early enough. Everything here is made to perfection and an absolute delight to eat. Amazing modern Australian food and certainly one to try. I can't wait to come back for more!
Oh what a night! My partner had been trying to get us into this restaurant for some time so I was pretty stoked when I realised this was the place that we were going too.
This restaurant is in a side street in Collingwood. It’s located in an old shoe factory. This place has style. It reminded me of a very cool 60’s place, something that you’d see on tele.
The service was excellent, a special mention to Alex the waitress and the other lovely waitress who’s name I didn’t get.
Food wise we ordered half a wood fired oven chook, the meat fell off the bone.
Pork belly, trout, croquettes, anchovy and that’s Amore local cheese.
The food was amazing, sooo tasty, everything was cooked perfectly, it was full of flavour and the food was locally sourced.
My La Sirene beer was yummy hahaha the vino d’lish and this has become my new fav restaurant at the moment. Well at least in Collingwood.
See you again... soon :)
I absolutely love this place. My friend Carlos had recommended me to go here. Great food, service, drinks and the place is so pretty. Great place to have a date :)
Another lunchtime adventure through Collingwood - this time we're delving deep into the backstreets to Rupert on Rupert. Hidden down a dark alleyway, it looks pretty unassuming from the outside but walking in you better be ready to wowed by the amazing space and the equally impressive food!. This has to be a stand out in terms of spaces...it is a converted warehouse so it has that industrial feel to it but mixes it up with different materials and quirky pieces to create the perfect eclectic environment. Just based on the look and feel I was ultra excited to see what was on offer here.
We had just flown into Melbourne and this was our first restaurant we came across to start our week of eating and exploring the city. It did not let us down!
We loved everything about the place, from the service, the interior, to the menu.
Our table enjoyed everything that we ordered and we gave it a real good shot of finishing every mouthful. The food was that good!
The only thing I wished was that I left room for dessert. I missed out on trying the Peanut Butter Skillet Cookie (boo hoo)
We came before the evening rush but you could see that it would be a very busy place as tables started arriving as we were leaving.
Great vibe! Came here on a Friday night for dinner and drinks and the place was buzzing. Pizzas were great and staff were friendly and attentive - a real winner!
Hidden with an industrial feel in one of Collingwood's many back streets. Great for a catch up with friends before heading out for the evening. Service always quick and friendly. Can be a bit noisy later on.
We celebrated our son's 21st birthday here a few months ago and it was superb. Our son is vegetarian but the remainder of the family are carnivores so we were at a loss to find a place with the right blend of both great vegetarian and meat dishes. Rupert on Rupert exceeded expectations and the food was absolutely fantastic - every dish was excellent. My son was spoilt with choice and attention by Jo and Tyrone and they made the afternoon so enjoyable for all concerned. Atmosphere and decor was relaxed and comfortable. Some of our favourite dishes were the smoked ham hock croquettes, warm kale & beluga lentils, pork belly & urfa spiced kent pumpkin - too many to mention! So on behalf of my son and 45 carnivores - thank you so much Mali, Jo and Tyrone.
When wandering the old industrial backstreets of Collingwood it is easy to feel both lost and uneasy as the empty, dark and rather gritty interior of one of the inner north’s more popular spots leaves much to one’s imagination. The vibrancy of Smith St is well noted, but it is in Collingwood’s residential and industrial interior in which little has been done to bring this large area into its own – or indeed into the 21st century.
I loved it here. Amazing staff so so friendly and know exactly what to recommend ! Food was divine and I loved the atmosphere it had, was so nicely decorated
We had our wedding at Rupert recently and it was perfect. Mali was amazing to work with, so professional and helpful, particularly through our 4 wedding reschedules due to covid lockdowns. She made the process so easy and was so supportive. The venue itself was stunning and many guests commented on how fantastic it was. The food was brilliant and the waitstaff and bar staff were so friendly and helpful on the night. Thank you to everyone at Rupert for making our wedding such a wonderful experience!
Such a nice venue. Great atmosphere, nice food. Only downside is the open plan bathroom, it doesn’t feel very private and the hand dryer can be heard from the main bar.
An absolute gem! The atmosphere, the food, the staff..and the list goes on.
If you’re after a beautiful space packed with indoor garden paradise for an intimate, smaller wedding, this one’s for you 👍
We had our wedding at Rupert on Rupert last month. The venue manager, Mali and the Rupert crew are amazing. Seasoned pros in the business. During the lead up to our wedding, Mali was accommodating, responsive, flexible and patient throughout. She'll go above and beyond to ensure your event is tailored to your vision.
On the day, everything went swimmingly to plan, absolutely faultless. Tables and chairs appeared and disappeared like magic. All our guests were raving about the food and wine selection.
And the staff are one of the best in hospitality industry. They all made us feel so special and got into the party spirit - some of them even joined us on the dance floor!
We've also been to Rupert many times when opened as a restaurant to the public. The food and quality of service is equally exceptional.
Go check out Rupert on Rupert!
Went to a beautiful wedding on Thursday night. The venue is stunning and with so much greenery, you didn’t need to do a lot more with decor. Would recommend! Staff were amazing! Grace, is a rockstar! She was so entertaining and fun!
I could not fault the experience I had here.
We booked for a large dinner and mainly had share plates and pizzas - they were all great. The staff were so incredibly helpful, they really took the experience to another level.
The place itself has such an amazing atmosphere with its moody lights, ambient music and gorgeous plants.
I wish I had found this place sooner, I will certainly be back!
Good food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Bit too difficult to grab the attention of staff though. And I'm a big eater, but the lamb dish (which is tasty) serves 3 people. We were with two and I'd rather have had a smaller (and cheaper) serve, which would have left room for a side of salad.
I have been obsessed with this place since the first moment I found it on Broadsheet, and getting to have our wedding here was just a dream come true.
Aside from being a visually stunning venue, Mali, Alex and the team are a group of hospo legends who made our day so special and smooth. The food and drink fare on offer was absolutely outstanding, and not once did I have to stress or worry about anything that may happen because I knew they were onto it.
Understanding and calm, the service they provided to both us and our guests was top quality. We dined here several times before our wedding as well and the service and quality of food was no different.
Will be coming back for years and years until I can't anymore.
