The European is a unique charming restaurant held in high regard by Melbourne diners for decades. the interior has changed little over time - but there is absolutely no reason to change anything - it is quite perfect the way it is. It is always busy - sometimes quite noisy - tightly packed in a long narrow wood panelled room - all of which adds to the ever present ambience. The food is absolutely superb - the service excellent - and the cost is fair.

Great little wine bar away from the serious busyness of west end of Swan St. Extensive wine list, great outdoor area out the back and small but great selection of food. Service was brilliant. Will be back!
