About Omnia Bistro & Bar

Omnia Bistro & Bar elevates South Yarra dining with polished European classics, interactive tableside flair, and an unpretentious warmth built for celebrations. The dining room balances lofty ceilings and bold art with genuine hospitality that effortlessly accommodates dietary needs and family milestones. Tableside steak tartare lets you dictate your own spice level before the kitchen presents their dry-aged honey-roasted duck whole to the table alongside a flaky companion pie. Wednesday nights bring live jazz to accompany smoked ocean trout cigars, crisp blue moon rosti, and a molten-center cheesecake.

  • Tableside Steak Tartare: Steak tartare is mixed and seasoned right at your table with customized heat levels.
  • Signature Duck Presentation: Diners are shown the whole honey-glazed roast duck before it is carved and served with duck pie.
  • Wednesday Live Jazz: Midweek evenings pair bistro plates and curated cellar pours with live jazz performances.
