A collaboration with renowned Melbourne chefs Shannon Martinez (Smith & Daughters, Smith & Daughters Deli) and Ian Curley (French Saloon, Kirk’s Wine Bar), Lona Misa is a rebellious renaissance from root to stem, sustainably crafted to be seasonal, full of flavour, and memorable. The result? "A deliciously lively eatery that provides the ideal setting for coming together and taking part in the simple act of enjoying good food that is kind to the planet" (TimeOut).

Awarded One Hat by the prestigious Good Food Guide 2023, Lona Misa’s Latin fare and bistro dining collide against the norms of the classical medley you know of vegan and vegetarian dining. Think of dishes like Brazilian steafood stew Moqueca, roasted padron & manchego croquetas, or pastor mushrooms grilled over charcoals on Josper with corn puree, fermented pineapple & chilli.

Delicious food, particularly divine salad, generous servings. Very attentive staff. Cool atmosphere. Don't agree with the mixed sex toilets though, it's not a safe space for women especially when alcohol is involved. There was a party outside the toilets and men roaming, eyeing off women going in.

Ambience was perfect but we were just surprised that it was a vegan restaurant. I wish they have options for non vegans.

The Latin-inspired, plant-based menu, cocktails and wine were simply sensational. Everyone should book in to enjoy the remarkable cuisine and stunning ambience. The staff took such great care of us throughout our whole experience. Thank you. We'll definitely be booking in again soon.

Incredible food - the pastel de choclo was mouth watering. We booked a table for 8:45pm however our table wasn’t ready so we were escorted to the bar to order drinks - unfortunately this was not on the house which was unfortunate. After 15mins, we were taken to our table - ironically if you’re 15mins late, they’ll treat it as a no show and charge you $50pp. Something I find amusing. Besides that hiccup, gorgeous venue and would highly recommend to anyone. I’d recommend to call anhead and have them assure that your table is ready to avoid this awkward situation, especially if you don’t drink!!

The best dinning experience in Melbourne hands down! Everything from being greeted and seated to be looked after the whole night. Cannot fault them anywhere...apart from possibly being a touch too dimly lit.

Incredible food and drinks. Had such a hard time choosing from the menu because everything sounded delicious. Settled for the Queso dip, Lion's Maine steak and a side ceasar salad. All dishes were perfect and a good size. I had a chocolate tort for dessert which was delicious. Also had a Shiraz and the Rye, Rye cocktail which were both gorgeous. The decor and atmosphere is fab, staff are all lovely and attentive. Literally no faults and already can't wait to go back!
