Overview
Neighbourhood Wine is a beloved Fitzroy North dining spot that feels like a well-kept secret. Set on the first floor of a discreet building just off Nicholson Street, it channels the relaxed intimacy of a private supper club—with wood-panelled walls, low lighting, and a gently nostalgic charm. Since opening in 2013, it has earned a loyal following for its unfussy, flavour-driven food and extensive wine offering.
The menu leans into European-style comfort with a focus on seasonal Australian produce. Expect rustic-yet-refined dishes like steak tartare with hand-cut chips, house-made terrines, grilled meats, and rotating pasta specials. Daily menus shift with what’s fresh and available, often guided by the local farmers and small producers the kitchen works with.
As its name suggests, wine is a serious focus here. The cellar boasts a vast selection from around the world, with a strong emphasis on minimal-intervention and boutique producers. Staff are knowledgeable and approachable, ready to help you pair something perfect or discover a new favourite.
Neighbourhood Wine is the kind of venue that feels effortlessly welcoming. It’s ideal for date nights, low-key celebrations, or casual catchups that turn into full evenings. With its slightly hidden location, timeless charm, and commitment to quality, it’s a true neighbourhood treasure—charming, comfortable, and quietly excellent.
