Nina's Bar & Dining

Tucked right along the Upfield Rail Trail beside Anstey station, Nina’s pairs thoughtful neighborhood dining with serious cellar chops. Grand open windows catch the afternoon light as cyclists roll past, setting a relaxed, low-key rhythm for the room. The kitchen skips stiff dining formalities in favor of sharp technique—tender grilled kangaroo skewers, fresh oysters, and crisp fries beside steak in mustard jus. Regulars lean on owner Hayley’s wine list, where a Coravin setup pours vintage cellar selections and champagne by the glass without the sting of city bottle markups. Fluffy bread rolls arrive warm with cultured butter, setting up an easy evening that winds down over spiced cocktails and layered honey cake.
