Price: Expensive•Wine Bar•4.9(76)Nestled next to Australia’s leading independent wine store, the Prince Wine Store, Bellota makes full use of the massive selection on offer from its sister business. The restaurant/wine bar brings to fruition a long-held desire to provide a venue that showcases the great wines of the world in a warm and friendly environment alongside beautifully executed food. Head chef Nicky Riemer champions the kitchen with her European cuisine which offers a sense of provenance and brings back flavours that often get lost in modern cooking techniques.
The casual, friendly atmosphere is at the heart of Bellota. Our knowledgeable staff’s aim is simple; try and help you love the wine as much as they do. Our list changes with the seasons and wines are all available by the taste, glass and carafe (half bottle), reflecting our belief that good and interesting wines are made all over the globe.

The main feature of TOTE is casual dining with premium quality food from well sourced high quality and sustainable produce.
It features a contemporary offering from coffee, craft beer and creative cocktails to carefully curated local & imported wines and spirits.
The bar itself is modelled to the development’s quintessential roots – the racecourse – and is aptly shaped in an oval form to mirror it.Shelanous
Price: Very Expensive•Australian•5(132)Born from a Melbourne sunset, our pop-up restaurant, Shelanous, evolved into a multi-sensory journey, blending Melbourne’s seasons into each dish.

Price: Very Expensive•Modern Australian•4.9(1,920)Vue de monde is a testament to the belief that dining can be a wondrous and unforgettable experience. The ever-changing chef’s menu pays homage to classical fine dining in a modern context by exploring the beauty of native Australian ingredients. While in the past the menu looked to Europe for inspiration, Executive Chef Hugh Allen continues to celebrate the unparalleled quality of home-grown produce with thoughtfully considered dishes committed to seasonality and locality.
Vue de monde has been synonymous with Melbourne dining for almost 20 years, continuing to present an exciting and dynamic experience with a progression of flavours and sense of curiosity.

- DDariaTasmania •8 reviews4.0Dined 1 day agoBusy restaurant in the middle of federation square. The food was good but in our option a bit pricey for what it was. $32 for a salmon roll just seems a bit much. It took a while to get our table cleared after the meal so we kinda sat there with dirty dishes in front of us for a while. No one came up and asked if we wanted more drinks or food.More infoChocolate BuddhaPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Melbourne CBD•4.7

The carts (yay, they are back!), were laden with fresh, steaming dim sim, we weren't hurried and enjoyed easing our way through the temptations. If there's something you want that's not being offered on the carts, just order it from one of the abundant waiting staff.
