The Recreation Bistro & Bottleshop Melbourne

The Recreation Bistro & Bottleshop is on Queens Parade, a fifteen-minute walk from the lawns of Edinburgh Gardens. The venue holds one hat from the Australian Good Food Guide.

The surrounding dining scene often reflects the frantic pace of Gertrude Street, but The Recreation operates at a slower tempo. The room runs smart and elegant, avoiding the high-volume service common to its competitors. It is the better choice for those who want a modern, international menu without the noise of a main thoroughfare. The fusion approach here reflects a considered execution, making this the sensible booking for a long dinner in this corner of town.
