Attica

Story

Attica is a fine-dining restaurant in Melbourne, Australia, owned and operated by Ben Shewry. It has won several awards in Australia, and has been included in The World's 50 Best Restaurants since 2010. Its current position on the list places it as the top restaurant in Australia.The restaurant was opened by Dr David Maccora (an emergency doctor at Malvern's Cabrini Hospital) and his wife Helen, in a converted suburban bank building. After two chefs failed to attract sufficient patronage at the restaurant the Maccoras employed Ben Shewry (formerly at St Kilda's Circa) in 2005, giving him full creative control of the menu. In January 2015 the Maccoras sold the restaurant to Shewry.

My goodness. What an interesting experience. Was gifted this experience and it was lovely. Be prepared for ants in your food - dehydrated ants nThe creative menu leaves you shocked, slightly uncomfortable, and licking your plate for more. An homage to native Australian ingredients, this is a quirky restaurant for sure. Be prepared to be there for 4+ hours.
It was my first time visiting Attica, and the experience went far beyond my expectations. I chose to dine solo to celebrate my 30th birthday, and from the moment I arrived, the team made me feel genuinely welcome and deeply cared for.nnA special thank you to Daniela and Camila, whose warmth, attentiveness, and love for what they do truly stood out and made the evening even more meaningful.nnAs for the food, it was an explosion of flavours, course after course. Every dish felt intentional, bold, and memorable. I completely fell in love with this place. The crocodile tartare, kangaroo steak, and the Australian vermouth cake were absolute highlights. Simply magical.nnThank you, Attica, for making my 30th birthday such a beautiful and unforgettable experience.
Firstly the staff were super knowledgeable about all the elements of the food they were serving. Each bring their own unique character to the restaurant. Secondly the food was well balanced and attention to detail was exceptional. The whole meal was the most unique and memorable experience of my existence. I would truly recommend anyone who would like to experience their take on fine dining and a true food lover, artist would especially appreciate this opportunity. Lastly the ingredients they use focuses on traditional Indigenous Australian food that they have been using for centuries these foods I can almost guarantee 99% of Australians have not tried and I think it is important that we recognise our original ingredients and culture as this is a big part of our identity. I would highly recommend reading the Chef's Memoir: Use for Obsession as this will connect with what you're eating and understand of their story.
Attica was a magical journey through some of the most magical ingredients our first nations brothers and sisters have been using for thousands of years to flavour their food. Attica is not gimmickey it is great food, incredible ingredients and pays homage to our traditional owners of this beautiful land in a whimsical and delicious way. Every dish meticulously crafted to amplify the quality of the ingredients. 10/10 food, service and ambience we had the most wonderful time and can't wait to come back.
After trying to get a table for a long time, my partner managed to get one for us for my birthday. We could not have had a better experience. The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable and attentive. The food was amazing and lived up to everything I had heard. I would love to have a bag of the saltbush, while we love everything the stand out dishes were the lasagne and marron. While it is not a cheap dinner, it was definitely worth the price. I look forward to returning in the future.
