EXCLUSIVE RISING MENUS WITH DRINKS AND SMALL BITES

When the moon shines bright, the time’s just right for wine and a bite. Melbourne’s best restaurants—including Cumulus Inc., Nomad, Hazel, Eau de Vie and more—are interpreting RISING’s lunar energy with this early dining offer. Wander between RISING’s two food and art precincts, at Flinders Lane and Fed Square, then enter the restauraunt's warmth to enjoy a pre-show drink (alcoholic or non) and a snack.

Think: hot smoked fish, apple, witlof and Yarra Valley salmon caviar paired with a gin cocktail at Nomad, or maple-roasted carrots with chickpea miso and tarragon next to mussels with guanciale marsh cress and a glass of pet nat at Hazel. Maybe a cup of roasted Jerusalem artichoke soup and a nice rich, dark glass of porter at Victoria by Farmers Daughters? Sit for a stint, and set your senses up for the sublime.
