Top quality wine bar in a magical Melbourne village. One of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. The Lennox team were very busy as it was Valentine’s Day but was very impressed with this wine bar.

Chef’s kiss. The food was chef’s kiss, the drinks were chef’s kiss and the service was chef’s kiss. We did a Sunday set menu deal and it was so yum. I loved how the set menus were all hand written and how unique the dishes are. I am hoping to return again soon and try out another Sunday set menu. 11/10 experience. Will be recommending to all the girlypops. Thank you!
