Chancery Lane

Tucked into the historic Normanby Chambers on Little Collins Street, Scott Pickett’s Euro-bistro brings serious edge to classic dining. Dark, moody, unapologetically decadent. The interior channels a bygone era—think plush banquettes and low lighting built for intimate anniversaries. Melbourne’s culinary crowd points to the flawless chicken liver parfait and impeccably sourced oysters as absolute must-orders. It’s that rare dining room where seasonal ingredients meet sharp European technique without feeling stiff. You’re coming for the dry-aged duck and sharing-sized ribeye—prepared with exact cuisson—followed by an airy, textbook choux pastry. Those marking major milestones consistently single out the intuitive, tailored service and surprise celebratory touches. A romantic room. Plates steeped in true savoir-faire. Book a table when you need an evening of pure, unadulterated indulgence.
