Restaurants near Arrow on Swanston

Our flight from Sydney to Melbourne was delayed so we called the restaurant and Alex said they would keep the kitchen open for us. We ordered over the phone and everything was ready when we arrived. Alex made an off- menu cocktail for us too. The service throughout was amazing, especially Raquel who was really attentive and just wanted us to have a nice evening after the stress of the flight. The food is awesome and great value and there are some smashing wines on offer. Thank you Alex and Raquel and the whole El Rincon team for a delicious welcome to Melbourne!

Excellent menu and selection of Australian wines. Can highly recommend this venue if you’re catching up with friends and wanting somewhere that provides great service and quality food.

My partner and I's go to date night destination. As the food quality and service is lovely and the ambience of this place is also peaceful. Highly recommend :)

We sat inside instead of outdoor dining. It was Christmas Day so understandably busy and noisy. The stuffs were doing their best and was very polite and helpful.

I absolutely loved the ambience! Subtly posh and quietly romantic. The jazz band serenading us from the bar downstairs was a fine touch. Our waiter was extremely personable and made us feel very welcome. The food was absolutely fantastic for the price point and I was very pleasantly surprised by the chef's choice of ingredient combinations. My girlfriend and I order the Chef's 9-course dinner and every single plate was well thought-out and meticulously crafted. My favourite was the beef claypot rice; the beef was fall-apart succulent and flavourful. 10/10 would recommend for a nice date night or special event - you will not be disappointed!
