20.01.2022 At our place, veggies aren't just relegated to the side. Instead you can choose to make our seasonal plates the main event, like this guyour the Macedon Ranges harissa eggplant, avocado, fennel, crispy onion, herbs. And, for the indecisive, we offer a mixed plate taste of them all as well.

20.01.2022 Yesterday's announcement by the Victorian Premier that our industry must once again close means we, again, have to make the sad decision to lock our doors. We, Melbourne, will get through this. It means we are now closed everyday. We are not offering takeaway or delivery, including our Pope Joan at Home boxes; we need to focus on our staff staying safe, alongside our community.... As soon as we're able to reopen, we will be back. We're so grateful for the messages of support and continued patronage we've received from y'all over the past few weeks. We love you all so much! See you in Spring!
