Restaurant Find: Bar Lourinhã Melbourne

Set behind Melbourne’s iconic Hotel Windsor, amidst an array of bars and restaurants is Bar Lourinhã, a Mediterranean inspired restaurant that has become a modern institution.

Executive chef Matt McConnell and his wife Jo Gamvros opened Bar Lourinhã in 2006. The menu is concise and made to share, so options are endless and the consistent quality will have you returning to try a different assortment next time. Forkfuls of; Yellow Tail Kingfish, Smoky Mussel and Roasted Mushrooms coalesce into one beautiful meal. McConnell’s specials are seasonal delights that bring a sense of occasion to your meal.

Bar Lourinhã was made over a couple of years ago, the charming trinkets are still all over the wall and the doorway is still crowded every night with patrons waiting for a table. Go to Bar Lourinhã for an understated but lively dining experience.
