• Vegetarian / Vegan • South Yarra
Booked 24 times today
A collaboration with renowned Melbourne chefs Shannon Martinez (Smith & Daughters, Smith & Daughters Deli) and Ian Curley (French Saloon, Kirk’s Wine Bar), Lona Misa is a rebellious renaissance from root to stem, sustainably crafted to be seasonal, full of flavour, and memorable. The result? "A deliciously lively eatery that provides the ideal setting for coming together and taking part in the simple act of enjoying good food that is kind to the planet" (TimeOut). Awarded One Hat by the prestigious Good Food Guide 2023, Lona Misa’s Latin fare and bistro dining collide against the norms of the classical medley you know of vegan and vegetarian dining. Think of dishes like Brazilian steafood stew Moqueca, roasted padron & manchego croquetas, or pastor mushrooms grilled over charcoals on Josper with corn puree, fermented pineapple & chilli.

    Me and my friends ordered the set menu “Bahala Ka Na” and everything that was brought out was really great! I had a mission to take photos of the food but after each meal that was sent out, we were just wanting more so I didn’t get the chance to take photos of the food haha. It was really nice to see my friends, who have not had filipino cuisine before, really enjoy filo food. Overall, from Service, food, ambience of the restaurant was really beautiful. Thank you Askal!
