Shadowboxer is a Greek wine Bar and Grill in South Yarra.
Our seasonal menu has many traditional dishes and some with a modern flare. The menu is flexible and is designed in a way that the smaller and larger dishes can be shared so you can create your own dining experience with friends and family.
Set within an original terrace house built in 1895, Shadowboxer is a relaxed yet refined space with a sunny two-tiered terrace out front, and two dining spaces inside with banquette seating.

    What a lovely lunch we had. The food was amazing and the choice of wines was great too. We chose to do the set menu and definitely weren’t disappointed. Each dish came out beautifully presented with an explanation of what each dish was. Tasty morsels of goodness all round. Thank you for having us.
