West Footscray Wines

West-side epicureans are fiercely loyal to this Barkly Street fixture. Zac and his highly trained crew run a bona fide enoteca—pouring pure joy without the pretension. Sun-drenched front tables. A breezy stone-tabled back courtyard. Shelves stacked with wildly reliable, sharply priced bottles. The food program is just as sharp. Freshly shucked oysters. Beautifully curated cheese boards. A killer spiedini menu—think fire-kissed lamb and charred greens—plus bowls of exceptionally crispy hot chips. The ultimate insider move? Wednesday nights. Zero corkage fees and ten-dollar glasses for the perfect midweek vin de soif.
