A little peak at our Winter Tasting Menu that launched this week 🤍

This season, we trace the ocean in all its forms, with every course carrying an element of the sea. From oysters paired with beetroot and ginger, to foie gras alongside clams and celeriac, each dish explores unexpected combinations and textures. You’ll also find smoked eel woven into dessert.

Innovative, expressive, and deeply connected to place, this menu celebrates the extraordinary abundance of Australian seafood at this moment in time.

Judith, the virtuoso of our kitchen 🤍

Juju, as she’s affectionately known at Malin, grew up in La Rochelle on the west coast of France.

She’s been in Melbourne for four years, and before that was in New Zealand where she met her Algerian/Moroccan partner Samir.

She’s been not only been an intrinsic part of our team for over twelve months, but exemplifies a real interest in the connection between floor, guest and kitchen; running the food she helps prepare, speaking with tables during service, inducting new kitchen hires, and maintaining an outstanding and natural sense of people management.

She believes she’s learnt more through experience than in schools, and notes Malin as her most memorable point for that development.

We’re unbelievably lucky to have her and are excited to continue being a part of her future, as her and Samir build their journey to owning their restaurant. Keep an eye on Judith, and be sure to say hi when you’re next in (if she’s not on holiday in Thailand)

One of the dishes on our six course menu 🤍

Charcoaled squid, sweet bread and bone marrow, served with vin jaune sauce. Every delicacy in one dish, with a bit of orange gel for acidic balance.
