In a landmark building on leafy Russell Street, Gimlet at Cavendish House is a cocktail bar and dining room that brings classic European charisma to the heart of Melbourne.

Gimlet is a space for all seasons and all reasons, from casual catch-ups at the bar to intimate booths and an elegant clothed dining stage above the city streets.

The menu embraces the confidence of Italian regional cooking, classic elements of French technique, flavours of Spain and hearty comfort dishes from the British Isles. One a la carte menu features throughout the venue and is supplemented with a late-night supper menu on Fridays and Saturdays.

The cocktail bar anchors the heart of the restaurant with clean, classic cocktails and exciting new beverage offerings.

Written by Gourmet Traveller's 2020 Sommelier of the Year, Leanne Altmann, our wine list was decades in the making and features a broad collection of wines from around the world. Be they classic regions, benchmark producers or new discoveries, the focus is on wines of place and provenance.

'…(Andrew) McConnell's venues have always been Melbourne's own hospitality university and will do a lot of the heavy-lifting in replenishing that talent. It's really something, watching a big team glide through their paces.'  Gemima Cody, The Age Good Food.
