The Hearth Restaurant

A Table by the Fire

Our restaurant is a study in warmth and intimacy, where the menu changes with the seasons and every dish is designed to be shared.

We work with local Victorian producers to bring the best of the region to your table. Expect freshly shucked oysters, delicate small plates, perfectly charred meats from the grill, and vibrant seasonal vegetables. The evening ends with rich desserts that reward a slow, unhurried finish.

Dining at Velvet Hearth is not a prelude to the evening—it is the evening itself. The room is low-lit, the chairs are deep, and the fire is always close enough to feel.

The Bar

Cocktails at the Hearth

Our bartenders craft classic cocktails with a Melbourne twist, using premium spirits and fresh ingredients.

The bar is a place for conversation and craft. Signature serves include the Velvet Old Fashioned, built on a rich bourbon base with smoked demerara, and the Hearth Negroni, softened with a whisper of local vermouth. The wine list moves from Victorian cool-climate whites to structured international reds, with plenty of by-the-glass options.

If you are only stopping for a drink, the late-night bar menu offers light bites designed to sit alongside your glass.

The bar remains open for cocktails and nightcaps, so you can settle in without watching the clock.
