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.

                    I didn’t fly all the way from London just to eat here… But once I was here, I had to go. Truly delicious and beautiful food (the ‘calamari’ Thank you, thank you were a revelation) and so exciting to see how gourmet vegan cooking can be.

                    As a vegetarian, it was great to be able to actually choose the dish I wanted and not have to settle for the only vegetarian option on the menu. Some of the guests weren’t vegetarian, and they equally enjoyed the dishes, surprised by the flavors and textures. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone, vegetarian or not – a great experience with delicious food.

                    We had fun ! Food was fab but hard to decipher at times. This was a problem as some of us did not want to eat blind BUT staff very helpful. Main problem was the noise level . Would recommend to anyone wanting a truly different eating experience in a unique setting

                    Some of the best vegan food I've had, can't believe it was vegan! Servers knew the menu very well but could've come back to offer more drinks, the cocktails are certainly worth trying! Portion sizes also a little small for the price, but it's fair enough given the quality. Would also love to see a few more additions on the menu to entice me to come back.
