Inspired by the energy found in the great old world restaurants of New York and Paris, Andrew McConnell's newest addition to the culinary scene, Gimlet, has captured the striking contrast of old and new from the dishes to the architecture.

Once fascinated by Melbourne's markets, it's now an energy source for the passion McConnell brings to the kitchen. The smell of fresh bread baking, the vibrancy and the opportunity to discover something new makes it a perfect place to reconnect with food from the source and one another.

Influenced by design and art, the National Gallery of Victoria provides the perfect creative escape while Gimlet offers a culinary escape like no other.

Melbourne is one of those places where you can truly experience so many cultures and neighbourhoods, it's like travelling the world in your own home town. As the city's rhythms return, it's energy beckons. Stay close, go further. It's time to rediscover your Melbourne.
