• Vegetarian / Vegan • South Yarra

Booked 19 times today

A collaboration with renowned Melbourne chefs Shannon Martinez (Smith & Daughters, Smith & Daughters Deli) and Ian Curley (French Saloon, Kirk’s Wine Bar), Lona Misa is a rebellious renaissance from root to stem, sustainably crafted to be seasonal, full of flavour, and memorable. The result? "A deliciously lively eatery that provides the ideal setting for coming together and taking part in the simple act of enjoying good food that is kind to the planet" (TimeOut). Awarded One Hat by the prestigious Good Food Guide 2023, Lona Misa’s Latin fare and bistro dining collide against the norms of the classical medley you know of vegan and vegetarian dining. Think of dishes like Brazilian steafood stew Moqueca, roasted padron & manchego croquetas, or pastor mushrooms grilled over charcoals on Josper with corn puree, fermented pineapple & chilli.

Nice to see the menu have a few changes, a couple of nice new additions. The calamari was lovely and well received. Service excellent and friendly. A bit noisy with several Christmas work celebrations but ambience always good. Good to have the GF options.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, reminiscent of a cozy family gathering. The standout dish was the Parrillada, it had a perfect blend of flavors that left a lasting impression. The seasonal kombucha was a delightful complement, offering a refreshing contrast. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience. Unique to this restaurant is their emphasis on seasonal ingredients, which really shines through in each dish. The drink selection was varied and reasonably priced, making it easy to find the perfect pairing. I would definitely return to explore more of the menu. We've dined here several times and will undoubtedly return for more. It never ceases to delight us!
