Something new from the Navi family has opened in Yarraville.

Bar Gabi, at 21 Anderson Street, is the venue Julian Hills has wanted to build for years. A two-level bar and casual diner centred on a 700-kilogram Brazilian rotisserie grill, fired with redwood, charcoal and offcuts of saltbush and applewood. Cocktails by Navi Lounge and Navi Beverage manager Miriam Wahlhutter, chef Paul Turner cooking - Miriam and Paul join Julian and Georgia as co-owners.

The signature martini uses gin distilled exclusively for the venue by Rothwell Distillery. The snacks include mussel potato cakes finished over coals, kangaroo sausage with a Thai lean, and a bourbon pecan tart from Julian’s mum’s Thanksgiving recipe.

Open for dinner Wednesday to Sunday and lunch Friday to Sunday. Follow bargabi or visit bargabi.com.au
Come and say hello!

Golden Plains suckling pig, broken down and cooked overnight, then pressed.

The bones are removed and the skin crisped before serving, while the shanks, trotters and cheeks are braised separately with thyme and leek, then rolled in smoked, cured carrot before pressing into squares.

The carrot is a project on its own: smoked and cured for two weeks, finely cut, brushed with a kombucha reduction and hit on the chargrill. Finished with a scratching on top and a licorice curry underneath.

Julian Hills says there are a lot of elements in this dish, but it’s easy to put together in service (“it might drive the kitchen team a little crazy ;)” )

A dish built on patience, at Navi.

Seafood is delicious all-year-round, but as we move into Spring, we look back at the seafood we have enjoyed and can’t wait to see what Julian has planned for the seafood we procure in the coming months.
