Price: Expensive

• Vegetarian / Vegan • South Yarra

Booked 17 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.

Suzie Q was unapologetically rebellious, alluring and ahead of her time. Bathed in the red glow of oriental charm, her underground chinese restaurant was a well-kept secret by those in the know during the 80’s in downtown San Francisco; a hidden gem drawing people in from across the city with her timeless dishes and unforgettable ambiance. Suzie Q embodies the indulgence of this rich legacy, re-imagined through a modern lens and coupled with retro oriental charm, classic chinese fare and contemporary cocktails.

As a vegetarian, it was great to be able to actually choose the dish I wanted and not have to settle for the only vegetarian option on the menu. Some of the guests weren’t vegetarian, and they equally enjoyed the dishes, surprised by the flavors and textures. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone, vegetarian or not – a great experience with delicious food.

Our meal and experience here was so good that my friend, who was only in Melbourne overnight, decided to stay an extra night so we could return the next night! The meal was outstanding and staff know their stuff: excellent knowledge and advice on the meals and there to top up the glass at just the right time.
