About Matteo's Restaurant, Melbourne

A Brunswick Street fine-dining fixture where old-school table hospitality meets modern degustations. Owner Matteo works the floor himself, running an unstuffy front of house tailored for milestone birthdays and lingering family lunches. Dedicated plant-based diners get their own multi-course vegan or vegetarian tasting menus rather than afterthoughts. Bottle collectors bring prized vintage cellar wines to the linen-topped tables for dedicated glassware and bottle service at thirty dollars corkage, pairing seamlessly with toothfish in sea lettuce butter or crisp zucchini flowers.

  • BYO wine service: Guests can bring personal cellar bottles to accompany fine-dining courses with dedicated table and glassware service for $30 corkage.
  • Owner on the floor: Owner Matteo actively manages guest bookings and delivers hands-on floor hospitality throughout dinner service.
  • Plant-based tasting menus: Full multi-course vegetarian and vegan tasting menus are served alongside the standard menu offerings.
