Been here a few times. All good until we needed to leave. Could not get the bill. Asked 3 times. Told to chill out by a grumpy man. Probably won't go back.

G. A.

The best experience that I had with food and wine. It’s not about what you think you want, it’s about what they know it’s the best for everybody have. Thanx a lot to the staff !

R. N.

Clearly a neighbourhood institution. Excellent in its eccentricity. Food and drink service is prompt and satisfying. Would definitely return for more on my next trip to Melbourne. Worth the small journey out of your comfort zone.

A. K.

Had a lovely time tonight. Served by Daniel and Tom. Beautiful wine list, expertly made cocktails, exciting menu that changes daily. We had the mixed meat board ($35) which was very generous, house cured anchivies, seared octopus and grilled broccoli. Everything was delightful and service was exceptional. Great attention to dietries (im a celiac) with lots of options available .

I. L.

Amazing take away cocktails and outstanding hospitality! So glad I discovered this beauty.

R. Q.

Best place we dined while in Melbourne. All round winner for amazing service and food. The environment is cozy and staff are very knowledgeable. Don’t miss this true diamond in Melbourne

J. B.

Great music and a friendly, knowledgeable staff make this one of Carlton North's best kept secrets. Always good to run into great conversations with staff and strangers alike! Really can't recommend this place enough, only wish I had more stars too give 🧐

D. I.

Lovely place and a very interesting menu. Tried the wallaby which was served with beetroot puree and broccoli. Nicely cooked. Wine selection is great but overall very pricey.

A. J. C.

Brilliant experience. I showed the staff my girlfriend's cow profile on Instagram and they loved it, I'm hoping our server follows the page! He has exactly the kind of fun, bubbly energy that we welcome with open arms to the @whereartcow family! FIVE STARS!!

G. J.

This is a slice of a great European wine bar in the middle of Carlton. Oh joy of joys to be able to walk in on a bleak evening and then to be transported to the sublime world of luxury wine and food. Worth every cent

H. T.

We went on the cutest date here last night! The staff were lovely and happy to offer recommendations, and they were really attentive. The food was great, they have a menu that changes daily and there was lots to choose from. There's also a pretty extensive drinks menu! I was a little bit apprehensive after reading some of the reviews on here beforehand, but I can absolutely say our experience here was only positive. We'll definitely be back. The place is small and intimate, which for me is a huge selling point! We came mid-week and it was busy but not full. I can see how it could get a bit crowded on a weekend though. Big groups would definitely need to book first, as there isn't really any standing room available. Thanks for a great night, guys! Happy, drunk and full!

C. W.

One of my favourite bars in Melbourne. Smart wine list. Food is fantastic and the menu is right on target. Everything available by the glass. Very knowledgeable and professional service. These people are pros. A cozy neighbourhood local vibe that is always buzzing with conversation.

J. P.

This place is awesome. Banging wines that change all the time. Top notch food. Humble service with a smile. Truly cannot daily anything about this unreal establishment. It has become a Carlton institution I reckon

P. K.

It's no wonder this place has long been considered one of Melbourne's best bars. A super casual, neighbourhood bar with excellent wines and a board containing an ever changing selection of fresh, seasonal menu items. The kind of place you could easily spend and entire afternoon/evening at.

D. P.

Cant believe I have never been here before. Long time successful wine bar in Carlton. Be prepared to pay top prices but the wine is good and staff are excellent.

P. T.

Amazing food, drink & service !!

T. G.

My first time there tonight on a special daye with my partner as we both got new jobs this week. The armosphere, service and food was so amazing and personal. A really lovely venue and I will remember it and return always. Tip - Hot Negroni's are real. You won't be sorry.

J. R.

Fantastic food, absolutely brilliant staff. Really interesting drinks list that seems to have changed and grown everytime I visit. Food really good too. Would love to live near enough to make this my second home. Between here and Little Andorra, Carlton North is truly spoilt.

G. F.

This place obviously doesn't need any more good reviews but will get one anyway. Firstly and most importantly, really friendly staff - unflustered and welcoming even on a really hectic summers night - managed to get a couple of seats at the bar after a short wait and despite only drinking, feltvrally welcomed. Really good wine and beer slection and that real treat, vinyl being chosen and played by the staff. This place is deservedly a Melbourne institution

M. L.

Busy and bustling, amazing good food, and fancy drinks... Can't wait to go back

M. E.

Nice quirky venue, good wine list, atmosphere even on a Monday

J.

Bar with good selection of drinks (wine, bottled beer, cocktails). Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Venue is a bit noisy inside, but has outside seating available. Also selection of food including mussels, veal, steak. Had the veal, which was satisfactory. Will give this place 4 stars for the drink selection and service. 3 stars for the food and the smoking permitted outside.

R. F.

AVOID Nice bar drinks and food. But erratically loud music. Refused polite request to turn down. “That’s what we do” from arrogant management. They don’t care that the music makes it hard to converse especially for people with mild hearing loss. Such a dumb counter productive attitude. Simple answer, go somewhere else.

R. N.

This place is my new favourite. Beautiful seasonal menu and a great range of wines. Great for a drop in or a date. Staff are very helpful and passionate about their reccommendations. Everyone there is always up for a chat. Cant reccommend this place enough. 5 stars!

D. P.

We had the BEST Old Fashioned we've ever had here. They make their own orange bitters and use my favourite Bulliet Rye Whisky . With records on the turntable an Old Fashioned in my hand I could have sat at that bar for hours.

I. S.

Innovative menu, great food, wine and cocktails and very attentive service. We were group of 7 and all enjoyed the night immensely. We'll be back again.

M. P.

Excellent variety of drinks + good vibe 👍🏼

S. B.

Awesome food and great wines for reasonable price. Try the salmon.

E. S.

Lovely, cute bar - lovely interior and vibe. Staff were lovely, all very friendly! Food was top-notch, and their house-made cola was a hit!

K. N. W.

My favourite bar. Excellent cocktails and always a great time, even if the couple next to you is making gross sounds as they suck face beyond last call.

R. M.

Beautiful community bar, everyone knows each other and they look after you. Great atmosphere, beautiful cocktails - will definitely be back.

T. R.

Did the Chef’s tasting with mates and visitor from Hk. Simply tasty food for great value. Courteous staff and owner. Keep up the good work Gerard!!

W.

Great wine selection and staff very knowledgeable. It was a great experience. Can't wait for next time.

I. D.

Generally I really enjoy the food sevice and atmosphere. However on this occasion my advise would be that the owner should stay behind the seen and leave the service to his capable friendly entertaining staff.

J. M.

A little bit in love with this place. Hard to get a spot due to popularity. European styling. Superb selection of beverages.

M. F.

Good place to get lost for a late night drink friendly staff, great atmosphere great part of rathdowne st plenty of parking

C. A. M.

These guys have Captain Atom Man's favourite Belgium beer. In fact there are some pretty awesome beers here.

Cosiest neighbourhood bar with a ever changing list of wines by the glass. Big names have visited before and they have opened a sister bar in San Sebastian.

R. B.

Happened upon this place the other night. Very interesting, knowledgable staff. Great vibe. Great spot for a quiet date or just a little neighborhood drinking.

There is nothing better then having a sommelier pick your beverage for you. After a long day, the last thing I need is a menu. I'm never disappointing.

(Translated) The best market cuisine in the universe, an exceptional wine list, a friendly and very simple atmosphere and service, what a shame I live so far away. (Original) La meilleure cuisine de marché de l'univers, une carte de vins exceptionnelle, une ambiance et un service amicaux et très simples, quel dommage que j'habite si loin.
