Carlton Wine Room

The Carlton Wine Room sits on Faraday Street in Carlton, just north of the Melbourne CBD near the university and Lygon Street. A much-loved wine room and restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation — the kind of stylish, welcoming venue that pairs an excellent, thoughtfully chosen wine list with quality, seasonal cooking, and has become a genuine Carlton favourite.

The appeal is that combination of a great wine offering, accomplished food and a relaxed, characterful setting, ideal for a glass of wine and a bite, a leisurely dinner or a special evening. In an area with a deep dining heritage, building this kind of loyal following speaks to a venue that delivers on both the glass and the plate.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 1,000 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. Menus, wine lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular wine room fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're after a table at a peak time, dining with a group, or planning a relaxed evening over wine in Carlton.
