Italian by name and cosmopolitan by nature, Terra Rossa Restaurant & Bar feels quintessentially Melbourne. Soaked in both history and contemporary style, the setting is an atmospheric old brick building and the scene a smart compilation of chandeliers, corniced ceilings, exposed brick walls, Thonet chairs and chesterfield sofas. Stop by the front bar section for a quick bite in the morning (maybe the Tuscan-style baked beans with tomato, mushroom and spinach on chargrilled sourdough), enjoy a more intimate meal in the dining terrace (risotto verde with house smoked salmon, soft herbs and freshly picked fennel, for example), or relax by the fire in the lounge with a wine and matching cheese from the cheese room such as the 6 months aged Hard Asiago.
