Cleo Melbourne

Level 12 on Russell Street. A chic, sun-drenched elevation where the Mediterranean summer never actually ends. Those who frequent the CBD's upper-echelon rooftops know Cleo isn't just about the panoramic skyline views—though they are undeniably breathtaking. It's about that flawless aperitivo hour transition from crisp afternoon drinks into a vibrant, electric evening. The menu? Short, sweet, and fiercely executed. Think bold mezze-style shared plates—the crispy prawns and charred chicken skewers are absolute non-negotiables for the post-work crowd. Cocktails are the real drawcard here; word in the corporate towers is their three-martini lunch is a brilliantly generous affair. Stylish indoor-outdoor flow. Impeccable design. A breezy al fresco escape that makes every single visit feel like an absolute occasion.
