Little Drop of Poison

Eltham’s undisputed heavyweight in tight-knit hospitality and killer picoteo. Little Drop of Poison is a tiny, electric space—the culinary magic happens right behind the bar. Discerning regulars are fiercely protective of this intimate room, constantly debating whether the house-made meatballs or the crispy fried artichokes take the crown. The absolute power move? Secure a booking (space is at an absolute premium) and dive into shared plates of fiery chorizo tacos, zingy tuna tostadas, and perfectly executed ceviche. Those who frequent the stools know the liquid offerings are just as serious. Think perfectly balanced pisco sours, punchy spicy margs, and a stellar rotation of lo-fi natural wines. Every sauce crafted from scratch. Every bite hitting hard. Finish with a decadent pistachio cheesecake before slipping out into the night. Pure, unfiltered brilliance.
