About Allegro Restaurant

Perched on Level 1 of The Westin, Allegro turns Collins Street dining into a polished retreat for pre-theatre plates and cheese-led feasts. Regulars point to the signature High Cheese tasting—a savory spread paired with generous wine pours and Basque cheesecake with spicy jam. Diners dropping in before an evening CBD stage production lean on the crisp timing of the pre-theatre set menu, ordering grass-fed Angus sirloin, kingfish, and sweet and sour baby octopus while the head chef frequently steps out from the pass to introduce courses tableside.

  • Curated High Cheese Experience: A dedicated savory tasting flight paired with wines, concluding with Basque cheesecake and spicy jam.
  • Hands-On Head Chef Service: Kitchen leadership regularly visits dining room tables to present mains and discuss dish components directly.
  • Stage-Timed Pre-Theatre Menus: Carefully timed multi-course dining structured for theatregoers catching CBD stage productions.
