Lunas Cafe And Bar

Luna's is one of our favourite St Kilda restaurants. The staff are amazing, the coffee is great, and the food is always fresh and delicious. Plus an iconic view across to the Palais Theatre and Luna Park! Fairly recently they've redecorated their terrace area incorporating velvet chairs and a more intimate, elegant mood. We regularly drop in for coffee and have enjoyed brunch here too - last Friday night we dropped in for some cocktails and pizza to round out our evening.

Thank you for the most relaxing and enjoyable lunch. The barramundi was outstanding and the burgers were delish! Our son said it was the best lunch he ever had and he loved the kids colouring pack! Thank you for spoiling us not only with amazing food and coffee but also absolutely fantastic service.

Early dinner on a busy weekend! The food was delicious, the staff attentive and friendly. Excellent to sit overlooking such a busy strip and watch the world go by.

Genuinely gutted we had not given this place a go years ago!! Food awesome, the team were attentive, view awesome, this will be a local haunt from now on! Get the draghty going guys! A good cold pint was all that was missing!

Great views of Luna Park, perfect place to sit outside and people watch if weather permits. Although inside is very lux as well, beautiful comfortable velvet chairs, great menu, friendly staff

Tl;dr: Only place available was best place in St Kilda Long story: Mum was visiting and me and my partner wanted to show the best our home St Kilda had to offer. Our original plan was a popular restaurant on the main strip of Akhman's, but due to some last-minute rescheduling, Luna was the only restaurant available that could accommodate for coeliacs like my mum. Now, if you're a local like me, you think you know Luna - that nice bar across the road from Luna Park, but kinda out of the way? Nah dude. It. Is. So. Good. Firstly, we arrive and they are having Japanese sake taste testing? We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation and told to go try some sake while they prepare the table. We get given free, delicious, authentic Japanese sake. Did you know colder climates make better sake? Because I sure as hell didn't. A few tastings which were FREE remember later we move inside because God knows mum's not great with her alcohol. Moving in to our actual dinner and the staff were amazing. Moved us to an area specifically to avoid a big party which was coming in later. They put up a blind so that the setting sun wasn't in our eyes. They were so nice, absolutely great to chat with, and were just always there when you needed them. The decor and the styling of the building was beautiful, but it were those people that made us feel so warmly welcomed. Then comes the food... The food was good. Really good. Like, really, really good. If there's a downfall to Luna's business model it's is that the mains were so good I couldn't even buy dessert. Long ramble, but honestly this is the best restaurant experience I've had in St Kilda. Like, damn, you know it's a good place because I wrote this whole damn essay.

Sold on the lux velvet couches, amazing views of 2 iconic Melbourne places, people watching, sunshine. Love the deco, comfortable, amazing food. Will be back great spot for sure.

A great cafe, food and wine bar in St Kilda, directly opposite the Palais and Luna Park. Service was fast. We’ve enjoyed brunch and dinner at Luna’s and the food and wine is outstanding. We enjoyed our dinner so much we forgot to take photos of it - the barramundi and the steak went down well in our group. Luna also caters for a wide range of dietary needs. The staff are really attentive, nice and chatty. The outlook is amazing when the Palais and Luna Park are lit up beautifully in the evening. Inside its a place where you can talk and enjoy the company of your companions over fine food and drink under the oversight of a leading Chef and sommelier.

Extremely overpriced for what was on offer. The beef cheek was $40, served on top of some pita bread and dip. The fancy sounding lamb dish was basically chops and gravy with mashed potato, also $40. The location was good but the food we experienced was not consistent with the price tag.

A group of 15 dined at Luna yesterday for the calisthenics championships for both lunch and dinner. Ference went above and beyond for us in what was a very busy time for the cafe. It was at capacity and he did his very best to accommodate us all. So happy to recommend his service.
