A masterclass in modern Australian design—80 Collins Street holds court as a grand, sophisticated room engineered for dressed-up nights out. The city's epicurean set points to the kitchen’s Euro-inspired menu as a triumph of exceptional produce and culinary technique. Expect pristine, hyper-fresh seafood—the oysters are routinely crowned some of the finest in the CBD—alongside wood-fired Margra lamb cutlets and deeply rich wagyu ragu tagliatelle. It’s a chic, high-end affair balanced by a distinctly relaxed sprezzatura from the polished, charismatic floor staff. Those frequenting the Paris End know to secure a table for the chef's tasting menu, trusting the kitchen to deliver immaculate, gourmet-portioned plates right through to a flawless dessert soufflé.
