About Maison Bâtard:
Maison Bâtard is a celebration of modern French culture which has been imagined uniquely for Melbourne in a nod to the city's golden era of hospitality.

Careful and meticulous restoration has transformed the landmark heritage site at 23 Bourke Street into a four-level haven of immersive, French-accented dining and celebratory experiences; including a showpiece restaurant spanning the lower two floors, a late-night supper club in the basement and an elegant rooftop terrace.

About Lucas Collective:
Proudly founder-owned and led, our independent hospitality collective is home
to the country's most loved and acclaimed restaurant, bar and event brands — including Chin Chin, Maison Batârd, Society, Grill Americano, Yakimono and more.
