When the Barossa was pulling out its old vines, Charlie Melton was championing them.

Four decades later, we’re thrilled to welcome his daughter, Sophie, to Little Black Pig for one very special evening.

Congratulations team on another fabulous w**e dinner! The seventh in our 2026 W**e Dinner Series, this Willem Kurt w**e dinner felt incredibly special.

Thank you to W**emaker & Owner Daniel Balzer who bought his Beechworth charisma to Little Black Pig, and to Ian Reid of Felix Riley, without whom none of this would be possible.

Thank you to our incredible guests and suppliers for making this night what it was, and of course our amazing FOH & BOH teams for making our w**e dinners what they are.

Five w**es, five courses, one stretch of high country. This Thursday, Willem Kurt W**es come to the Little Black Pig table, grown and bottled in the same hills that raised one half of our team, poured alongside a menu built to honour place, provenance, rolling hills and personal history.

Join Willem Kurt W**emaker & Owner Daniel Balzer as he takes us through five of his estate-grown w**es, and Little Black Pig owners David & Emilia Lakhi as they present a piece of their story on a plate: from north-east Victoria to north-east Melbourne and back again.

05/09/2026

We’ve made a few new friends over the last couple of months, so let’s reintroduce ourselves: we’re a family-run, chef-led, independent restaurant in scenic Heidelberg.

Chef & owner Chef David Lakhi’s journey began at 12 in the farming heartland of Punjab when his father bought him a solar oven. He was later shaped profoundly by Nonna Clara, an Abruzzese immigrant who taught him to make pasta by hand and to cook instinctively through sight, smell, taste and touch.

Today, that philosophy runs through our kitchen: beautifully sourced produce, handmade pasta and food created from scratch, guided by seasonality, generosity and cooking that brings people together.

At Little Black Pig, we transform the humble traditions of cucina povera into something personal: Italian soul, Australian produce and a story that crosses continents.

We’re not part of a corporation or restaurant group - we’re a husband and wife team with four kids and a box full of ideas.

We love food, w**e and good times, and we would love to see you at Little Black Pig & Sons!

Happy Father’s Day! 🖤 x

Beechworth came to Heidelberg for our Puglia W**e Dinner. 🖤

We welcomed Beechworth Bitters and Provenance Guest Chef Michael Ryan to contribute his take on Chef David Lakhi's second course, bringing Beechworth Bitters with him to open and close the evening in true Beechworth style.

For Emilia, who grew up in Wodonga, having Michael and a little piece of north-east Victoria at Little Black Pig felt a lot like bringing home to Heidelberg.

Five courses. Shared values. Pugliese w**es and a taste of Beechworth.

Thank you Michael, our incredible team, suppliers and every guest who joined us.

Some days in this industry remind me just how far we’ve come.

Last week, we had the privilege of welcoming Thomas and Sheena from THOMAS + SHEENA | CHASING A PLATE into our kitchen.

I’ve admired what they do for years. They don’t just film food, they tell the stories behind it. The traditions, the people, the reasons we cook the way we do.

Spending the day talking about Punjab, Nonna Clara, cucina povera, handmade pasta and the philosophy behind our fortnightly menus was something I’ll never forget.

For a little restaurant tucked away in Heidelberg, being invited to share our story with an audience that loves food as much as we do is incredibly humbling.

A huge thank you to Thomas and Sheena for your generosity, curiosity and care. I can’t wait for everyone to see what you’ve created.

And to Turnip Media, thank you for always believing that our story is worth telling.

— David

A fresh look for the Florence Room. 🤎

We’ve given our private dining room a new coat of terracotta, a colour inspired by the sun-baked buildings, clay rooftops and warm hospitality of Italy.

Designed for intimate celebrations, corporate dinners and milestone occasions, the Florence Room offers a truly private dining experience, tucked away from the main restaurant while remaining unmistakably Little Black Pig.

Just another way we’re continuing to evolve the spaces where Melburnians gather around the table.

Planning a celebration, corporate dinner or special event? We’d love to host you.
