This place was so amazing for breakfast today that I have come back for lunch and that was phenomenal!
By far the best well presented tasting food I've ever had. Service was unreal.
Overall of the best experiences I've had this far.
Awesome work will tell everyone I know to come here and eat ��
This is the best place!! So glad we found it while holidaying in Melboune last week. The service from Sam, Ulious and the other lovely man with the beard was just excellent. They looked after our large group so well and were very efficient and really friendly. We went for 'Happy Hour' and stayed for hours because of the great service. We also went for breakfast and the food was just delicious. Have not had great service like this for a LONG time. This will definitely be our first port of call when we go back to Melbourne. Thank you so much Slate. :D
Came here for happy our with some girlfriends and a toddler! Staff made us very welcome! Bought some toys! A high chair! Colouring in book! Soo lovely!!! Would recommend!!
Awesome staff... awesome vibe.:. Already been back for breakfast in the morning and drinks tonight
Good music too - this DJ rocks!!!
We have just started having our Friday work drinks at Slate and we have never been looked after so well. Management and staff are second to none. You guys are incredible... thank you! See you again soon!
This place has exceptional service, great ambience, friendly and ptofessional staff and we will definitely be going back on our next trip �
Had a quick breakfast here before leaving to fly back home. Fantastic food, coffee and service. Living up to Melbourne's reputation as foodie heaven.
Had breakfast here with another vegan friend and both of us were given another menu item of our choice in exchange for the eggs without having asked. Exceptional service, beautiful venue and tasty food.
Excellent service by all staff!! Great prices. Will travel back just to go there. complements to the young chef food was amazing
This place was picked as an option for team lunch. I was told good things about this burger. A waygu beef burger that was cooked perfectly, great fillings and good side of chips couldn't complain. Great lunch time feed.
Delicious food, modern, love the roof top! Good customer service, over all a nice restaurant and a good spot for Friday night after work drinks.
I had the poached salmon. It was extremely tasty and the salmon and egg were cooked perfectly. The house wines are not bad and the atmosphere at Slate is always nice.

Went there for after work drinks yesterday and will be going there again!
Slate is such a cute spot with some great drink options and a great ambiance!
The food here is tasty, fresh and well presented. The prices are moderate and the place itself has class, while the staff isvery professional and friendly. the one problem is that it is very popular on some nights and can get really noisy.
Slate is a convenient location for an after work drink, and we had a work function here on Friday. The canapes were delicious and abundant, the wait staff were reasonably friendly and the space we were in was a great size for our group. Upstairs, where I have been previously, is great for a catch up with friends or ex-colleagues.
I'd say it's been a good four years since I've ventured to Slate bar and when I popped in tonight I was pleasantly surprised to discover it's just as sleek and enjoyable as ever. It's full of suits but still very relaxed and unpretentious. There's a dj spinning beats in the enclosed outdoor area and they run a decent happy hour complete with complimentary bar snacks. Now what's not to like about free bowls of fries??
Great location, so close to my office at Bourke Street.
A regular haunt for our office folks and just a great place to mingle.
Food is solid but unexceptional. Service is good.
Ambience quite loud.
Great service, attentive and lovely staff. Food was so good and came out quickly, great flavours - fondant was delicious!!!
Great venue for functions. Their service is top notch, wait staff is friendly and efficient. The food is tasty. Great hang out for a drink after work.
My wife purchased a voucher for Slate at a charity function. We went for lunch, and my expectations weren't great; I thought it would be a run-of-the-mill city cafe. Turns out the food was fantastic - I reckon they do the basic things really well, without making the food complicated for the sake of it. We split a calamari entree which was accompanied by a really nice salad with fresh flavours. My main was salmon with some lentils - beautifully cooked with some great flavours.
Friendly service without being intrusive. Will definitely come back
I had lunch here today with colleagues. I ordered the squid ink risotto which was brilliant. The new menu is great...I recommend giving it a go...
Dropped in for a quick bite during a busy lunch service. The staff were attentive and accommodating having arrived without a reservation, seated us and drinks arrived in minutes. The kitchen was in full swing but our food arrived promptly, the lamb salad I had was cooked beautifully, the salad was lightly dressed and delicious with melt in your mouth tender lamb ! Highly recommend
Marvellous food, coffee and service - a favourite for breakfast!! Menu provides plenty of variety, and did I mention the service?! Made to feel very welcome, and nothing was too hard for them to accommodate 😃
The poached chicken salad was fresh and full of flavour, absolutely delicious. The sticky date pudding was the perfect end to the meal. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
Friendly staff who were very attentive. We loved our breakfast every day & wish we lived in Melbourne so we can regularly visit. The drinks on the under cover roof top bar were amazing! The Sangria was devine!
Love the daily specials. The fish of the day is superb. Great food at good prices. I recommend chicken tacos and zucchini fritters. And great daily desserts.
Will come back !
21st birthdays. Classy venue! Great hosts! Thank you Alex and your team for a great night. You made our girls 21st birthday celebration very special. And memorable. The food, the service and attention to detail was second to none. The food was exceptional! And your pricing sooo far, and for what we got in service and quality in attention to detail of flowers candles etc making the venue look great. You spared no expense. Thank you I will be recommending you.

Company Function a Flawless Evening. We had our company function at Slate and it was such a success. Their hard work and dedication meant that everyone had the most amazing evening. It was so well organised, yet felt so relaxed. The team at Slate have really offered an excellent service throughout - they were very welcoming and helpful throughout the whole process. The settings were just beautiful. The food and wine were simply delicious. In short, it was a FLAWLESS night and all thanks to Slate's excellent team. A special thank you to Alex, Cameron, Craig and Rina plus all the staff on the night ... you really were the perfect hosts at a perfect venue! We will no doubt be back. Highly recommended!
My favourite. I have been to Slate about 20 times since I discovered it and have tried everything on the menu. I was reluctant to do so as I'm not very adventurous but Slate has never let me down! Great service, great atmosphere and incredible food! Going there is the highlight of my day.
Fantastic team lunch - great food and service. We had a team lunch at Slate, I very highly recommend. It was so good we went back for drinks after work - not many places around that is good for a corporate lunch and also to socialise after work, in fact i cant think of one as good!!
The Tuna burger is AMAZING!! And the food comes out so fast. Great value for money and great if in a hurry!
Splended. The atmosphere has a great vibe the service is fast and efficient. Staff are really helpful and friendly. Try the ocean trout dish its to die for.
I'll be back again.
Always amazes me that this beautiful venue alwAys pulls through with great food and sweets. Customer service is always to the highest
BEST AFTER WORKS BAR IN TOWN. I've been coming here with work and finally convinced my friends from top end of town to come to slate- they loved it and will be back next week.
Love it! I eat at Slate all the time. Great food. Fun service. Good atmosphere. Ribs are amazing!
Fabulous food, wine, atmosphere & service. Loved it. Will absolutely be back...and will be telling all my friends.
What more could you want!. Great food, great service and very pleasant surroundings, loved the indoor/outdoor upstairs area and was perfect for our group booking of about 40. We had a choice of two for each course and all meals were served quickly and efficiently. My husband had been there for lunches and did not hesitate in recommending Slate for our function. We are looking forward to our next function there in December and also going as a couple so I can try some of the other tasty dishes on the full menu
Well done Slate
Cheers

Happy Customer. Thanks for a great lunch Slate! Popped in with a few girlfriends and we all enjoyed delicious food and great service. Would definitely recommend. Not the first time I've been here and doesn't disappoint.
Will book another function at Slate. Very professional and helpful, they went out of their way to make our event very successful. Thank you Slate!
GREAT--- I have now been to Slate for a work lunch and to catch up with friends after work. Great food, service, upstairs bar and outdoor terrace. Highly recommend!
Am currently at Slate and aside from a bit of a wait on drinks the service has been impeccable and the food has been beautiful! Five stars and I'm not even done yet!
Great for Friday night drinks. Cool place for Friday night drinks. Outside Terrace with good atmosphere and delicious food for drinking menu!
Excellent Food and Service, fantastic value for money. The food at Slate is excellent, the service is also very good which is why I eat there regularly. They have the best breakfast, only $8.90 it's absolutely delicious and and such a bargain! The $12 express menu is also excellent - for only $12 you get fantastic a la cart service with food that is delicious! They also make very good coffees. I highly recommend this place. It's also a great place to go after work for drinks with friends/work colleagues.
Great Food and service. Really recommend this place if you want to have a quality Breakfast and Lunch. Menu is very solid and is always updated. Service is excellant and the place has a great atmosphere. Top Shelf !
What's not to enjoy. The meals and staff are fabulous - what's not to enjoy. Slate provide a warm and inviting environment. A great place to go for a drink after work in a casual environment or the place to take your next business lunch / breakfast - it's all good. Staff consistantly look to please.

Great venue, Excellent service - Amazing CBD terrace. Sustainability Drinks Australia hosts a monthly networking event at Slate bar Restaurant. Slate have hosted our event for the last 3 years and we couldn't be happier with the CBD location, the great food, the professional and excellent staff who go out of their way every month to help us make our event the best it can be. Slate has a fantastic terrace that gives it that extra edge over your usual indoor only CBD locations, it give the venue a fresh and outdoor aspect that makes the food and wine all the more delicious - can you tell we host our event downstairs and suffer from a bit of terrace envy! We look forward to many more months wining, dining and networking at Slate and highly recommend it to anyone on the hunt for a good city location to meet, eat and drink.
Great venue for a corporate lunch. I have been to Slate several times for lunch and have always been impressed by the service, variation in menu and quality food. I booked a work lunch as a result of going there several times and all the party was happy with their dishes. Service was prompt and reasonably priced for the portions. We would definitely be back for another corporate event. Thank you
Happened upon this restaurant when we were down in Melbourne last Friday night. We sat upstairs out on the deck which i loved. Our meals were delicious, the staff were super friendly and we ended up staying there for a drink afterwards at the bar - heaps of fun and would highly recommend.
Great breakfast. Went here for breakfast this morning (have a monthly breakfast here). Enjoyed an excellent bacon + eggs + tomato for just $8.90. The poached eggs were excellent and there was plenty of bacon and two bits of toast. A really good meal. The service is good, they certainly try to please you.
Great spot for Breakfast and coffee.
Really enjoy lunch gatherings here. Service and food is always good, nice atmosphere and kid friendly.
The new menu is fantastic with a greater variety of lighter lunches.
Gordon. Excellent food,venue and service, use for breakfast and business lunches.
New menu great. Loving the new menu with far more "lighter" options available. Much better lunchtime option now. Yummy ice-cream too!
Great lunch. Went there with a large group for lunch (approx 50 of us). Service was prompt; food was good. Will definitely go back and try again with a smaller group. Lunches with large groups can be hit and miss, but everything was done incredibly well. Pleasant afternoon had by all
Great duck risotto. I have eaten here a few times and I think their duck risotto is lovely.
I went here with a group of about 15-20 for lunch on a Wednesday. They managed the group booking well, asked us to order ahead and brought out our food quickly once we arrived. I had the eggplant angolotti, which was alright. My friends didn't think their food was amazing, so I don't think we'll be going back. However, that might just be our taste. The restaurant itself had really good vibes, great service, and a nice outdoor rooftop area as well.
Came here for a work lunch and ordered the battered barramundi.
Barramundi was yum, tartare and salad wass yum.
Chips was yum but very minimal. You can see from the pictures that there were gaps on the plate.
Would've appreciated a little more generosity of chips given the dish was about $25.
A Great little spot with delicious cocktails and a mixture of fusion cuisine! The rooftop area has pumping music and some casual spots to sit and sip. We had a few different things and all the meals were a hit! We love the new York cheese cake! It was divine!
Imagine you’re in a another city. You’ve just checked out of your hotel and all of a sudden your stomach starts hurting. You realise you really need to go to the toilet. You frantically walk around looking for a restroom. You ask this restaurant and they say yes you can use their private restroom. Such kindness.
If you ever get a chance, grab lunch on the rooftop. Melbourne is quickly becoming my favorite city outside of where I live but Slate is one of those places that is relaxed and yet still great food and service. Highly recommend the beer battered barramundi with cucumber salad and fries.
Great meal and the barmaid made the most fantastic negroni, up there with one of the best! Friendly service and a few great vegetarian options. Would definitely go again.
