Beverly

Beverly is a rooftop restaurant and bar in South Yarra, set on Level 24 with broad views across Melbourne. Its design is built around the changing light: the space moves from bright daytime dining into sunset drinks and later dinners, with indoor and outdoor lounges, bars and more intimate table settings. It suits a range of occasions, from a quick drink or work lunch to a long catch-up, celebratory dinner or late-night gathering.

The food is led by Head Chef David Ball and shaped by seasonal produce and local Melbourne suppliers, with a philosophy that places ethical sourcing at its centre. The cooking draws on flavours associated with Southern California while staying connected to contemporary Australian dining. The menu is designed to move easily from smaller plates and snacks for sharing at golden hour to more substantial dishes for lunch and dinner. Named highlights include the Beverly Chop Salad, spicy tuna taco, mortadella skewer, tuna crudo, handmade lamb ragu and Old Bay half chicken, alongside ethically sourced steaks cooked over live fire.

For weekday daytime dining, Beverly’s Weekday Wonders lunch changes fortnightly and offers one, two or three courses, with a produce-focused menu created to work around the pace of a working day. It is available for standard bookings from midday to 3pm, Tuesday to Friday. The drinks offering includes wine from both new and old world producers, plus cocktails using Australian spirits, native botanicals and locally made ingredients, giving the rooftop a clear local connection beyond its views.

Those looking for a more immersive experience can book the Kitchen Pass, which places two guests directly beside the open kitchen during service. The evening follows the season’s produce and includes a close-up look at the movement, fire, smoke and pressure of a working kitchen, with personalised touches and the chance to engage with the chefs. It is offered as one seating for two guests on Friday and Saturday evenings, with an optional wine pairing. Beverly’s lively, polished setting makes it a natural choice for couples, small groups and diners who want the meal and the city outlook to share equal billing.
