Etta

Etta sits on Lygon Street in Brunswick East, one of Melbourne's most vibrant and eclectic inner-north pockets. A much-loved restaurant, it's earned a strong reputation — combining accomplished, produce-driven cooking with a thoughtful drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful setting, the kind of quality neighbourhood spot that's become a genuine favourite.

The appeal is that combination of quality, seasonal food, a good drinks offering and a warm, characterful atmosphere in a great Brunswick East location, ideal for a special dinner, a meal with friends, a date or a sociable night out. A restaurant that's nailed both its cooking and its welcoming feel really stands out, and Etta has clearly won over a loyal following in the inner north.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 520 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus change with the seasons, and drinks lists, opening hours and pricing vary, while a popular neighbourhood restaurant fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time in Brunswick East.
