City Wine Shop

Such a nice and peaceful little joint near Parliament! There is a great variety of wine and very well-thought options of small dishes, main dish and dessert to go with the wines! There are plenty of seats outside for you to enjoy some sunshine but there are also options for indoor seating and bar table. The food was very well cooked with good quality ingredients. The staff team was really friendly! Love the Gnocchi, very fresh and flavourful!!

Fairly quiet for a Friday but staff were attentive and as usual chatty and polite. We took our 4&5yo for the first time, we’ve been many times and knew portion sizes were generous so one gnocchi main to share for the kids and 4-5 starters and a shared main for two adults was plenty of food. Wines on point as always.

Great little wine bar in the entertainment district with a wide and varying selection of wines by glass, bottle or take out. Lovely atmosphere inside and shared kitchen with European. The chicken schnitzel was juicy with a lovely side slaw, and the Gnocchi was a classic

Amazing wine bar and restaurant, which is also a bottle shop. We had some of the most amazing food and wine recommendations, and great service. Ryan the sommelier was very helpful and shared a lot of good recommendations!

An old favourite for me in Melbourne. European bistro style vibes. You get a cute well stocked wine shop with great wine options and amazing food whether you after some nibbles, main or dessert. The level of service is good and there is outdoor seating which means it's dog friendly

Gorgeous little find for a low key dinner at the bar. Amazing food and atmosphere Staff were extremely obliging and helpful Made us space and made us feel very welcome.

A great hidden gem near Parliament and next to HP theatre. Food was amazing, I would definitely recommend gnocchi and the chicken Parma.

Great place for wine and also the food is classy. I had a nice Pinot Noir and a desert wine here. If it’s a fancy wine bar like this why do they not pour the wines by the glass at the table and show you the bottle? Who wants to order a wine and just have the glass brought to you without even being shown the bottle? It’s a pretty basic thing if you are at a wine bar.

Great food/huge wine selection. Personable staff attentive to needs.A favourite restaurant visited twice on this trip.

After years of bringing up 2 children, being stuck in COVID, I finally launched into our new business. Flying to Melbourne for first business meeting of a new venture the next day, of course the first place I went to was City Wine Shop. The experience was five star. I was blessed with an Italian waiter to whom I said - I will order, you match my drinks….. it was perfect! All of it…. I can definitely recommend letting the staff do what they are good at while one can relax and watch this very busy venue do what they do best. So thank you to my waiter, to whom I failed to get a name, see you again soon.
