About Don's

Prahran’s walk-in-only wine joint doing everything right. No reservations—just rock up early. The vibe? Utterly relaxed, but the floor staff possess serious sommelier chops. Those who frequent Commercial Road will tell you the pours here are exceptional—think surprising Syrahs and rotating drops poured by staff who genuinely want to geek out over terroir with you. The kitchen leans into a brilliant, boundary-blurring flex. Plump scallops swimming in wakame butter. Handmade pastas packing unapologetic heat. But the undisputed heavyweight champion—the dish getting aggressive, almost emotional praise across town—is the fried chicken sandwich. Crispy thigh, cucumber, lettuce, mayo. Deceptively simple, devastatingly rich. A proper glou-glou haven where the specials board never sits still.

  • Dynamic Wine List: A constantly rotating selection of exciting pours, backed by highly knowledgeable staff eager to guide your palate.
  • The Fried Chicken Sandwich: A perfectly balanced, deeply savory staple featuring crispy thigh, cucumber, lettuce, and mayo.
  • Cross-Cultural Bites: An inventive, rotating menu boasting dishes like handmade pastas and delicate scallops in wakame butter.
  • Walk-In Only: No bookings required—arrive early on weekends or drop by on a weekday for a spontaneous, relaxed session.
