Bottarga Melbourne Bottarga Brighton — a modern dining experience shaped by Italian heritage, Asian finesse, and Australian produce. Refined, balanced, and ever-evolving.

01/11/2026

It's hard to believe it's been five years since we first opened our doors on Martin Street.

We've grown, made mistakes, learned a lot and found a new home on Bay Street. Somewhere along the way, so many of you became familiar faces, and some became friends.

There have been long days, late nights and plenty of reasons to celebrate. Looking back, we're incredibly grateful for all of it.

To everyone who has worked alongside us, trusted us and continued to return to our tables, thank you. It means more to us than we can put into words.

With love,
Federico & Somi

The Pithivier has a quiet kind of confidence.

Leek, taleggio, shiitake and cavolo nero wrapped in golden pastry, with miso cauliflower purée underneath.

One of those plates that speaks for itself.

Warmer afternoons in Melbourne call for a little Italian tradition.⁠
⁠
Aperitivo Hour. A good drink, a few chef’s snacks and absolutely no reason to rush things.⁠

Tuesday to Thursday, 4:30pm to 6pm at Bottarga.

The Cosmo took a wrong turn through Bottarga and came out looking a little more interesting.

Blu Vior. Crisp, citrusy, dressed in blue.

Exactly the kind of detour we can get behind.

Aperitivo is less about the hour, more about what happens around it.

A good drink, a few chef’s snacks, and that easy stretch of the afternoon that somehow turns into dinner.

Tuesday to Thursday, 4:30pm to 6pm at Bottarga.

A little thank you from us.

Last week was full of emotion, big moments and a lot to be proud of, and none of it happens without the people around us.

To our team, and everyone who has chosen to spend time at Bottarga, thank you. Your support gives meaning to the work we put in every day.

Bottarga is still here, still growing, and more motivated than ever.

There’s a lot ahead, and we’re very ready for it.

The art of easing into the evening.

A cocktail or a glass of w**e, a selection of chef’s snacks, and your choice of a sunny spot outdoors or a cosy seat in our bar area.

Aperitivo Hour at Bottarga. $35pp, Tuesday to Sunday, 4:30–6pm.

A little something before dinner, or perhaps a reason to stay a little longer.

Consider this your invitation. 🥂

For us, a good glass of w**e is always part of the experience.⁠
⁠
Coming here means knowing the night is starting with something thoughtfully chosen, a very good pour, and probably a bottle not too far behind.⁠
⁠
Exactly as it should be.⁠

We’re incredibly proud to share that Bottarga has been awarded One Hat in the 46th edition of The Age Good Food Guide.

A recognition that means so much to us, and one that reflects the care, consistency and passion our team brings to Bottarga every day, from the kitchen to the floor and everything in between.

We’re also so proud of , who was named a finalist for Sommelier of the Year. A huge achievement in its own right, and a beautiful recognition of the knowledge, instinct and heart she brings to our w**e program.

A lot to celebrate, and even more to be grateful for.

Bottarga is made for evenings that unfold slowly.

A table worth settling into, a bottle chosen well, a few plates in between, and the kind of conversation that makes you forget to check the time.

Stay for dinner. Stay for the w**e. Stay and enjoy it.

For those Melbourne afternoons when the sun stays a little longer.

Verde Spritz brings together P31 Green Liqueur, Prosecco and citrus, with a gentle herbal bitterness that keeps things interesting.

A little something for the longer afternoons.

When barramundi tortello, flathead wonton and prawn culurgiones all end up on the same plate, choosing a favourite becomes the hard part.

Triplo Raviolo brings them together with sea grapes and kombu sauce, balancing delicate seafood flavours with something a little deeper underneath.

One of those dishes that makes you slow down for a second.
