Marion Wine Bar

Marion sits on Gertrude Street in Fitzroy, one of Melbourne's most iconic and characterful inner-north strips. A much-loved wine bar, it's built a strong reputation — the kind of stylish, intimate spot that pairs an excellent, thoughtfully chosen wine list with quality food, and has become a genuine favourite in a precinct that takes its food and drink seriously.

The appeal is that combination of a great wine offering, accomplished cooking and a relaxed, characterful setting on a buzzing Gertrude Street, ideal for a glass of wine and a bite, a catch-up or a special evening. In an area with plenty of competition, building this kind of following speaks to a venue that delivers on both the glass and the plate.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 1,300 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. Menus, wine lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular wine bar 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.
