Why it's worth checking out
Heartattack and Vine sits on Lygon Street in Carlton, Melbourne's famous Italian-influenced dining strip just north of the CBD. An Italian-inspired bar and eatery — known for its cicchetti-style small plates and good drinks — it's earned a strong reputation as a relaxed, characterful spot for a coffee by day and drinks and bites by night.
The appeal is that combination of quality Italian-style small plates, good coffee and drinks and a relaxed, characterful setting on the famous Lygon Street, ideal for a coffee, a casual bite, an aperitivo or settling in for drinks and shared plates. Its versatile, all-day offering and genuine character have made it a beloved fixture, drawing a loyal following.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 900 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular Lygon Street venue gets busy on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before you go — though for a coffee, a drink or a plate of cicchetti, it's often just a matter of dropping in and soaking up the atmosphere in Carlton.
