Lona Misa

Walk into Lona Misa and you’re instantly hit by the energy—stunning artwork, undeniable swagger, pure South Yarra electricity. This isn't just another plant-based spot. It's a full-tilt cocina vegana packing serious Latin heat. Carnivores and plant-eaters alike are obsessed with the kitchen's bold alchemy. Case in point: the Lion’s Mane mushroom. Earthy, rich, completely unmissable. Add in a shared BBQ platter or those golden, perfectly textured croquettes for an absolute flavor masterclass. The dining room is all class with a wicked edge, backed by top-tier hospitality. Snag a plate of skewers, chase it with a decadent slice of tres leches, and subtly ask the staff about the secret basement billiards room. Melbourne's most stubborn traditionalists are booking tables to test the hype—and walking out as absolute converts.
