Slip behind Brunswick Street for an inventive plant-based dinner that routinely converts dedicated carnivores. Tucked in a warm, low-lit space, the kitchen leans into contrasting temperatures—balancing crisp raw elements against slow-cooked plates across generous multi-course spreads. Groups settle in over cocktails and share plates like lion's mane mushroom and plant-based braised lamb, while couples lean toward the generous feed-me progression.
- Contrasting Course Progression: Multi-course progressions balance raw elements against warm dishes to showcase vegetable craft.
- Atmospheric Setting: A warm, beautifully designed Fitzroy setting built for cocktails and shared plates on milestone dates or group nights.
- Omnivore-Approved Dining: Generous feed-me menus and shareable savoury dishes win over committed meat-eaters.

Before you head over
Practical advice for planning your plant-based dining experience, from menu pacing to celebratory visits.
Arrive with an Appetite for the Set Menu
The curated 'feed me' set menu is notably generous and filling, so arrive with a healthy appetite—or pace yourself if you want to leave room for dessert.
Share À La Carte Plates for Group Variety
If you prefer choosing your own dishes over a multi-course set menu, ordering a broad mix of entrées and mains to share among your group works seamlessly for sampling across the plant-based offerings.
Pair Cocktails with Date Nights and Celebrations
The dining room features an intimate, cosy ambiance that pairs inventive vegetable dishes with craft cocktails, making it a natural fit for birthdays and special dates.
