Book NowAbout Blackbird Melbourne
Set across three floors on Flinders Lane, this moody dining room handles milestone birthdays and date nights without fuss. Regulars make a beeline for the dry-aged beef—particularly the thick O’Connor striploin seared over high heat. Tables often share the cold seafood platter, though curious eaters branch out for the flaky Wallaby Wellington. Upstairs dining rooms give private parties their own space, while the bar pours lychee cocktails alongside baked potatoes warm with parmesan butter.
- Prime Dry-Aged Steaks: Cuts like the dry-aged MBS3+ O'Connor striploin and 1kg T-bone anchor a focused beef lineup.
- Australian Game & Native Accents: Native twists emerge across plates like the Wallaby Wellington, kangaroo, and saltbush-dusted fries.
- Fresh Seafood Towers: Chilled spreads stacked with sweet Moreton Bay bugs, king prawns, and house accompaniments.
- Multi-Level Event Spaces: A three-level Flinders Lane layout featuring intimate booths, street-view balcony seating, and dedicated rooms for private celebrations.
