Price: Expensive
• Vegetarian / Vegan • South Yarra
Booked 16 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.

    The food was amazing! My partner is vegan, I'm not, but the food was such high quality you don't even think twice about it all being plant based, so is a good place for vegans to take their non-vegan friends. Would definitely recommend the meatballs and the taquitos (so yummy). Beware of accidentally ordering too much fried food (which was the mistake we made - filling up on batter rather than deliciousness - we couldn't even finish our patatas bravas!). Lovely, friendly staff. Interior and vibes were immaculate - such a lovely place for a special meal. Also shoutout to the lovely human mixing drinks. Would recommend the creme brulee martini for dessert. Will be coming back here for sure!

    Great dinner, wagyu omasake. The matching sake and wine were great! Thanks to Christ, on serving and advising on the sake and wine. Food is surprising great. Not expecting much but vastly impressive. Fusion Japanese and western dishes. Not cheap (A$500 for two) but not expensive in international standard and for the standard of food. Enjoyed thoroughly.

    Mosaic is one of the most tasty and fresh meals I have had in a long time! The food is just delicious and presented beautifully. The restaurant was busy and had a good vibe. The owner is fabulous and very friendly and interactive with guests. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this fantastic Lebanese restaurant.
