THE WAREHOUSE WAS ONCE A FISHMONGER’S. YOU CAN ACTUALLY STILL SEE IT ON GOOGLE STREET VIEW.

BETWEEN THEN AND OUR tenancy IT WAS BRIEFLY ANOTHER RESTAURANT THAT SHARED SIMILAR PHILOSOPHIES. WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO inherit SOME BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURAL WORK BY LOCAL FIRM BREATHE ARCHITECTURE.

WE HAVE REMODELLED A LITTLE AND ADDED OUR OWN PERSONAL TOUCHES BY WAY OF FURNISHINGS, FINISHES, LIGHTING AND PAINT.

THE INTIMATE TIMBER LINED BOOTHS RUN THE LENGTH OF THE DINING ROOM WITH A SMALL BANQUETTE THAT HOSTS A FEW TWO-TOPS ARE CENTRAL IN THE SPACE. THE KIT-KAT TILED BAR WRAPS AROUND TO MEET THE OPEN KITCHEN TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE BUILDING.

THE ENTRANCE IS COMPRISED OF AN ATRIUM STYLE COURTYARD WHICH WELCOMES YOU INTO A GENEROUS ENTRY AND SECONDARY WINE BAR + BOTTLE SHOP WHICH TRADES TILL 11PM ON OUR DAYS OF OPERATION.

THE COLOURFUL STREET OUTSIDE COMES ALIVE DURING WARMER MONTHS OF THE YEAR. WITH STREET BUSKERS AND THE WARM OVERHEAD LIGHTING YOU COULD JUST AS EASILY BE SOMEWHERE IN EUROPE.

THE STREET WAS PAINTED AS A COMMUNITY PROJECT TO REIGNITE THE USE OF THE SPACE AND TO SPREAD SOME CHEER COMING OUT OF MELBOURNE’S LONG LOCKDOWN.
