Gilson South Yarra

Gilson South Yarra is a neighbourhood restaurant on Domain Road offering all-day dining from 7am until late. Its food is Italian-focused, with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal produce and locally sourced ingredients. The kitchen caters to different tastes, including classic comfort food and more adventurous flavours, with brunch, lunch and dinner available alongside drinks.

The setting is described as warm and inviting, with friendly, relaxed hospitality that suits both casual meals and longer gatherings. Walk-ins are welcome, while bookings can accommodate groups of up to 12 in the main dining room.
