Overview
Cutler & Co. is a cornerstone of Melbourne’s contemporary fine dining scene, renowned for its polished execution, warm service, and strong sense of place. Since opening in 2009, chef Andrew McConnell’s flagship restaurant has evolved with the times while maintaining an unwavering commitment to quality. Its setting—a converted metalworks warehouse on eclectic Gertrude Street—retains an industrial edge softened by elegant furnishings, moody lighting, and warm textures.
The menu is a celebration of seasonal Australian produce, shaped by classical technique and modern creativity. It offers both à la carte and tasting menu formats, with dishes that balance flavour, restraint, and texture.

A Sunday set menu invites long, luxurious afternoons of shared plates and flowing wine.
Cutler & Co.’s wine list is as considered as its food, highlighting local and international producers, with a lean toward minimal intervention and boutique wines. Knowledgeable staff offer attentive yet relaxed service, making the restaurant equally suited to special occasions, business dinners, or date nights.
As one of Melbourne’s most consistently lauded restaurants, Cutler & Co. continues to be a destination for those seeking the best of modern Australian dining—where every detail, from the lighting to the plating, feels deliberately and thoughtfully executed.
