• Vegetarian / Vegan • South Yarra
Booked 31 times today
A collaboration with renowned Melbourne chefs Shannon Martinez (Smith & Daughters, Smith & Daughters Deli) and Ian Curley (French Saloon, Kirk’s Wine Bar), Lona Misa is a rebellious renaissance from root to stem, sustainably crafted to be seasonal, full of flavour, and memorable. The result? "A deliciously lively eatery that provides the ideal setting for coming together and taking part in the simple act of enjoying good food that is kind to the planet" (TimeOut). Awarded One Hat by the prestigious Good Food Guide 2023, Lona Misa’s Latin fare and bistro dining collide against the norms of the classical medley you know of vegan and vegetarian dining. Think of dishes like Brazilian steafood stew Moqueca, roasted padron & manchego croquetas, or pastor mushrooms grilled over charcoals on Josper with corn puree, fermented pineapple & chilli.

Suzie Q was unapologetically rebellious, alluring and ahead of her time. Bathed in the red glow of oriental charm, her underground chinese restaurant was a well-kept secret by those in the know during the 80’s in downtown San Francisco; a hidden gem drawing people in from across the city with her timeless dishes and unforgettable ambiance. Suzie Q embodies the indulgence of this rich legacy, re-imagined through a modern lens and coupled with retro oriental charm, classic chinese fare and contemporary cocktails.

    Everything about this place is happy. The staff are brilliant and cheerful. The chef appears every now and then making jokes and small talk with the guests and those guests are all smiling. And this is because the food is sooo good. Interesting, well melded flavours, good quality ingredients. Just a great experience. Can't fault the place.

    From the moment we arrived for a milestone birthday, we knew this place was a level above. The way we were greeted, the politeness and professionalism was as good as any restaurant / venue. Then the food, staff engagement, warmth and humour was outstanding. Great night, highly recommend and look forward to bringing others back!
