Melbourne Restaurants

As a multi-faceted venue, we provide a rich culinary showcase of Australian food and drink producers via our retail store, bar, eatery and in-house production facilities. We have incorporated an onsite micro-brewery, distillery, cured meats and cheese making rooms, coffee roasters. We also operate our own 40 acre site that produces grapes for wine, with future plan to grow fruit, vegetables, grain, hops and livestock for in-house food and drink products.

The education side will be brought to life via an immersive program of events and classes to learn how produce is made, why they are made in that way and how to take your new skills and use them at home. Many of these events will be held in collaboration with our industry peers to give you the best knowledge and experience, so you can then share the traditions with friends and family.

Our eatery reflects our passion for modern food created using traditional and contemporary techniques, dishes that highlight the integrity of each ingredient, our ability to create so many elements in-house and our industry relationships with producers and makers.

Smith Street Alimentari was established to expand on our existing and very popular take home or ‘pronto’ meals, already available from Brunswick Street Alimentari for the past 15 years.

In addition to our pronto meals, we have introduced our French rotisserie and catering menu. We offer a huge larder section, fresh pasta bar, deli section and quality meats.

Our pronto meals are all fresh, not frozen in order for you to have the option of enjoying your meal that evening or freeze for another day.

Our aim is to provide quality meals for singles, couples and families at a reasonable price. Our belief is that take home meals shouldn’t be luxury purchase but a guilt free option that you can take advantage of a few times a week.

You are also welcome to stop in on your way to work for a light breakfast and coffee or pop in for lunch and choose from our salad and panini bar.

Melbourne Chef Andrew McConnell and Butcher Troy Wheeler have collaborated to create a concept that is sure to excite Melbourne’s carnivores. McConnell and Wheeler, both passionate about best quality heritage meats and skilled butchery, have joined forces to share this passion with both the wholesale restaurant trade, and the general public. Meatsmith Specialty Butcher & Wine Merchant opened in September 2015 at 273 Smith Street Fitzroy, in the heart of Melbourne’s most exciting food and cultural precinct.

Retail butchery offerings will focus on provenance and quality, alongside a range of premium cooked and cured meats, and artisanal smallgoods and charcuterie. The art of butchery will be demystified by informed and friendly service. As well as meat and poultry, Meatsmith will also house a food store for quality larder essentials including premium oils, dried pasta, tinned goods and organic dairy products. House-made items will include Cumulus Inc.’s famed lamb shoulder (slow roasted for convenience), foie gras parfait, rollmops and pickles. You will even be able to take home a bottle of Rioja to accompany your rib eye – a selection of boutique wines will also be available.
