Intriguing booze list and food that's just damn good quality, seasonal, and finally a triumphant female chef minus the ego. I've recommended this place as an ultimate Melbourne dining experience to overseas visitors...(And I've been to a lot of the " Worlds Top 50" eateries... that don't cut it..)
The ambiance, music and staff just keep it real.
Highly recommend, food, wine and cocktails all amazing. Great atmosphere and service, will definitely be back.
I ordered Ubereats from Neighbourhood Wines tonight and it was seriously good! Beautiful, quality food and even better customer service. Will definitely be back, really appreciate it guys!
Nice space. Very nice food. We had shared plates and they were very good. Service was very good. Extensive wine list but most of it is on the pricey side. It’s a good place but be prepared to pay.
Classy food in a relaxed environment at a great price! Don't sleep on this place for a weekday lunch- For $50 we had 2 courses, a shared side and a glass of wine. I started with the Roast beetroot, radish, rye miso salad in which every mouthful was a delight. The pan fried dory with lick the plate yummy sorrel butter and the slightly salty pigface. Big shout out to the fat crispy chips which were the best ive had since i had ones cooked in duck fat at Vue Du Monde. I ended up having dessert as well which was a deconstructed brandy snap with white peach, macadamias and ice cream. A chilled glass of the Koerner Bright Red was a great accompaniment. I'll be back very soon!
This place is beautiful, and completely and utterly aesthetically overwhelming if you're into mid-century vintage. It was actually so pretty I could have cried. So many gorgeous pieces of furniture, stained glass, and old school fittings all illuminated with natural spring light. Ahhh. The wine list was extensive and unique (as far as I could tell, I'm not particularly wine-literate) and the menu was small, but classy and enticing. We had the gnocchi, which was perfectly piping hot, oily and delish, and the bread to start was sticky, sour and thick cut. We got the asparagus and zucchini sides, which were both small but flavoursome and rich... It was all a complete treat. Our waiter was a walking wine encyclopedia - I learnt a lot and it was lovely that he took the time out to chat wine to us. I loved the old school vibe / 21st century class & innovation combo - thanks heaps for the lovely meal.
This is my favourite spot for a Sunday roast! Absolutely amazing food and wine list. The atmosphere is relaxed, and has such character. The three course roast is $40 and used seasonal produce.
Food was delicious. We were able to get a booking on Saturday for Saturday night. We shared a bunch of meals and they were all so good!!! Great for vegetarian options as well. The duck liver parfait was incredible along with the kingfish 🤤! All organic wines, beautiful and cozy interior!

What a great little find in this (not so small) restaurant hiding behind a small doorway and a set of stairs. It opens up to 3 main rooms including one with an open fire.
It’s not called neighbourhood wine without good reason. It has bottles of wine from everywhere in the world stored all over the place, and it has a range of slightly unusual and very interesting wines; including organic, biodynamic, and some very interesting combinations of grapes. We though we would try something different; and indeed it was like nothing I’ve drunk before but it was lovely. A great recommendation.
The food is very interesting. They change the menu everyday. The combination of charcuterie and picked vegetables is a winner.
We had a two small plates (a cured kingfish and duck liver parfait) which were delicious. They were very happy to serve extra toast as the parfait was generous.
For main the lamb was great. Wonderful fall off the bone texture and interesting textures with the roast almonds, along with two side salads. The roast cabbage was most interesting as I actually thought it tasted like eggplant and the hazelnut provided a great contrasting texture again.
Overall a great experience. Lovely knowledgeable and enthusiastic waiters. And on another night the two seats in front of the fire would be a great place to finish another interesting wine!
First time here for Sunday roast lunch and it was so delicious!!! Beetroot for starters, roast porterhouse with the works aka chat potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, salad and a parsnip cake with chinotto ice cream to finish off the meal. Seriously good value for 40 bucks, wish I found out earlier 😇
Upon arrival we were greeted by friendliness and smiley faces. The menu for both food and wine are interesting and exciting. We had a few of the bite-size starters, 2 small and 4 large dishes with a table of 4 people. All dishes were very nice. We weren't able to finish all of our large dishes, which we do feel guilty about (and it was a shame that we didn't get to try dessert). Steak was lovely. Goat was very tender, but could've had a bit more flavour. We had a lovely Rioja to drink. All great, not cheap but not super expensive either (our bill was just under $400, but we went all out). This place had been on my list for way too long and I am happy I finally got to try it. I will definitely be back!
Great upstairs wine venue which seems to have an endless number of rooms and tables in the bar.
Quite old world in its makeup with record player, great music and very positive ambience.
The wine selection for the price I requested was fantastic ... big, rustic and a very drinkable chardonnay which respected the old chardy's but had some body and memorable characteristics.
They appear to pride the place on stocking wine which is memorable, not the run of the mill and has some unique character. From memory, I will be back as the wine they served me was fantastic.
Food was also interesting and unique - but not low cost.
Enjoy and if you want a wine, I would recommend this above many others.
Cheers
We had a long day & showed up without a booking on a Friday evening, they went out of their way to fit us in.
The service on both the food & the wine was absolutely amazing, honestly we’re still sitting at the table & are excited to come back.
The range of wine is vast & the waitresses knowledge on such wines was equally as impressive (Mel).
Music and ambiance was also a vibe 🎶
Perfect for every occasion, highly recommend 🙏
The food here is on the expensive side but the staff were friendly and the drinks menu was expansive. The atmosphere was also lovely and warm.
I unfortunately had a bad experience with their steak. I ordered it Medium-rare but it came out cooked unevenly, rare-blue in the center of the steak with only the outside edges were actually medium-rare. It was very gamey and chewy and was absolutely covered with the sauce that overwhelmed the taste of the actual steak.
Thankfully they were happy to take it off our bill when it was sent back. Lot's of professionalism was displayed by the staff. May return there again.
I was going to give this place a 5⭐️ after only sitting outside but once I went inside it was set. A very good restaurant. A gem to be honest. The food incredible, the wine amazing , and the staff very friendly. I love on the south and am jealous a place this good doesn’t exist in my neighbourhood. This place is so good it make you want to leave your neighbourhood to be near it. Honestly is there a higher complement.
Distinctly old school charm with an impenetrable but delicious menu. Get the chefs choice selection and relax with a bottle of wine. Choice of wines were great but staff were overwhelmed and didn’t know the menu, even spilt the water in our lap. Oh dear!
