We love this intimate wine bar. Our food was so delicious and paired with a couple of sensational Victorian wines. The lobster croquettes were a highlight as was the friendly and unobtrusive service. Can’t wait to return!
Fabulous ambience and service! The decor is effortlessly chic and the menu is spot on. We loved all the wines and nibbles we sampled-I’m still dreaming about the chicken liver pate.
So refreshing to see a menu with all Victorian wines and hear which region they’re from and each of the winemakers.
A little gem! We spent a wonderful time at Smithward. Great selection of wine and amazing food, everything is locally sourced and homemade.
The porcini tortellini are SENSATIONAL! (We had to order them twice 🤣)
What a hidden charmer this little wine, cheese and chat bar is. The staff are super-courteous, friendly and knowledgeable, the wine is superb and varied, and the snacks are cleverly paired. Inexpensive and delicious, do yourselves a favour . . .
As always, a lovely experience. Very good wine, tasty food (incl gluten free options), cosy intimate environment and warm, knowledgeable, professional service. I've been several times and it never disappoints.
Lovely and quaint wine bar with amazing selection of Victorian wines. It's small (~7 seats total) so reservations recommended, and almost necessary on weekend nights. All food was spectacular, especially the sourdough bread and raclette!
So happy to have found this beautiful little place. Everything in there is of the absolute highest quality. We tried three different wines - all delightful - and the food was amazing. All delivered with first class service. Can't wait to go back and sample the rest of the menu.
Maybe my favourite small bar in Melbourne. Delicious wines, perfect wine snacks of various sizes that are seasonal and so considered. Graham is an impeccable host. Love it here.
