(141)

In case you haven't travelled with us before, let us introduce ourselves. We are a fine dining restaurant located in the heart of South Yarra.
We first opened our doors in 2016, when a then, 22-year-old Charlie Carrington, decided to create a restaurant that changed cuisine every few months. Dubbed the most "Ambitious Restaurant Opening" of the year, Atlas Dining quickly rose to cult status. Within a month, Charlie became the youngest Australian chef to be awarded a Chef's Hat.
Eight years on, and (now) 25 cuisines later, Atlas Dining continues to be one of the most unique restaurants around.
We offer affordable fine dining, but most importantly, an unforgettable experience that helps guests' tastebuds travel the world.

Yugen Dining

Top-rated food

Price: Very Expensive

Yugen redefines dining after dark. A promise of an experience where food, drink, and music continue well into the night. A subterranean setting with a refined industrial feel, offering dishes and beverages influenced by the cultural richness of Asia. Tradition met with the intuition of a contemporary flair.

Nestled within the Domain Road enclave in South Yarra with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the stunning Royal Botanic Gardens sits Gilson.
Gilson’s intimate dining room is available for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week and caters for large groups and private dining events.
Gilson offers an all day menu focusing on Italian cuisine and seasonal flavours.
A neighbourhood favourite due to its relaxed setting, friendly staff, fabulous drinks list and dishes such as the ‘avocado bruschetta’ for breakfast, the ‘Seafood Linguine' for lunch or dinner, and a 'tiramisu' for dessert.
Wood fired pizza is also available for lunch and dinner cooked in the custom built oven.
Gilson's brunch service is available for walk-ins with reservations available from midday.

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.

Abacus Bar & Kitchen

Top-rated hospitality

"Abacus bar & kitchen is a cafe concept that could and should be replicated and enjoyed all around the world.
It has embraced the 'all day dining' model with a breakfast menu that transforms into snacks and evening dining making it an option for any mood or customer. It also has a fully licensed drinks list and al fresco seating to suit the late afternoon spritz while people watching as one of Melbourne's busiest strips passes you by.
All of this inside one of Melbourne's best interior spaces, Abacus provides a casual dining experience to remember.
The food is good and honest, it has broken out of the traditional mould for opening hours, the customer service is elevated, sustainability is deeply rooted in their ethos and it's a design-driven space that you want to be in. These business characteristics harmoniously work together and the success of them shows in the lines of people waiting for tables to enjoy a meal here."

Lots of bold flavours in with the fully plant based menu. I really enjoyed the paring of chocolate sauce with a savoury dish and a very and creamy smooth cheese sauce. The arepas were very fluffy. The drinks and desert were also amazing, I could definitely taste the salt in the ice cream which really brings out more flavour

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.

Would highly recommend Sam's Cali Cantina. The staff were extremely accomodating. We had originally booked for 4 people inside, but we had an extra person arrive at the last minute and there was absolutely no issue changing the booking to be for 5 people, and also changing from an inside table to an outdoor table, which we really appreciated. The food was amazing, and the prices were very reasonable for how full we all were at the end! We will be returning.
