About Ellora St Kilda

Perched above Fitzroy Street, this breezy rooftop balcony serves up uninterrupted views across Port Phillip Bay alongside sharp drinks and share plates. Locals drop in during golden hour for the sea breeze and stay for the sunset over St Kilda Pier—cocktail in hand. The kitchen turns out crisp mac and cheese croquettes, Spanish meatballs, and golden buttermilk chicken, while weekends revolve around bottomless brunch boards stacked with warm bagels, smoked salmon, and sweet spreads. Downstairs, acoustic sets or live DJs keep the energy humming well past dark as spritzes and espresso martinis keep circulating.

  • Panoramic Pier Views: Balcony tables look out directly over St Kilda Beach and the pier, catching sunset over the water.
  • Bottomless Bagel Brunch: Refillable boards loaded with bagels, smoked salmon, bacon, and sweet toppings paired with bottomless drinks.
  • Midweek Tapas Bundle: Thursday special bundling three shareable tapas plates with a drink at a set price.
