Punch Lane Wine Bar & Restaurant

I love this place. We've dined there twice now and I just had to go back for the steak, it's the BEST steak I have ever eaten. Highly recommend for a special occasion.

Cosy restaurant with great ambience, fantastic wine selection and beautifully cooked meals. The service was excellent, I'll definitely be back.

I went to Punch Lane for a special occasion with my wife and could not fault the service ,staff ,food or the ambience of the place. We will definitely be back.

Great night and as locals we will certainly return and bring friends. Everyone was friendly, relaxed and professional. Sam really helped with wine tasting and food tips. Anywhere this good for under $250-$300 for 2 is good value.

Impeccable food and service. Decor was great. My mother was so impressed she wants to go again for her birthday. Still in the afterglow.

The focaccia bread was dry and the butter was cold. The cod fritters were very fishy. The wine was very very good. The agnolotti was boring, but the sauce was very nice. The burrata with beetroot could have been improved with some cherry tomatoes. The market fish was nice.

Great food, atmosphere and service. Only issue was our waiter did not have his mask over his nose and at one point took it off all together. He kept bobbing down close to us which was very disconcerting and totally inappropriate given the current Covid climate.

As always great food and excellent service my go to choice for business lunches

Delicious food, great wine selection, nice service

A great afternoon had by all. Will certainly come back again

Great service, food and wine. Would highly recommend.

Always a fabulous night out, the food is fantastic and service is brilliant.

Side night - thanks to the wait staff for using inclusive language 🏳️‍🌈👏🏻

I'm a 10 year, 4-5 times a year, diner at Punch Lane. It is always a pleasure and the first place I think of to entertain or impress, and the occasion never fails. Congratulations to Martin for maintaining the highest standard in trying times.

We could only book a table outside as inside was full. Food was amazing and excellent value. Waiter forgot about a cocktail order but we just asked again and it was fine.

Punch Lane Wine bar is a gem. The food and wine is top shelf, one of the top eating houses in Melbourne and staff are great.

I have been coming back to Punch Lane for perhaps 15 years. I never cease to be impressed by the service particularly the wine knowledge, and the ability of a waiter to look at you and divine by some kind of dark magic the precise style and vintage that you need

Food amazing. I think due to reopening staff weren’t as attentive- eg. had to ask for wine. But overall amazing food and lovely experience.

All the food was good except the dry aged Angus steak. It was on the bitter side, I would also suggest doing a sauce or jus to help it out. For $80 it was disappointing. Scallops were the hero of the night, ordered second serve at the end. Polenta fries were also good.

Food came out all at once which was good for photos

great ambience, food and drinks. Will be back for the full service as we went between lunch and dinner so just sampling

Staff were very friendly and food was amazing, can not wait to go back

Lovely atmosphere and delicious food, staff were very helpful and friendly. A great place for a special occasion!

Great atmosphere, excellent service. The swordfish was a highlight, as was the roe with the salmon. Lamb was also delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more of the small and medium plates.

Great Restaurant, Great Ambience, Great Service, Great Food Great Wine.

It's a special little boutique French themed restaurant.

I was dining alone and felt well looked after. Nice to be back dining in the city at some old favourites. As good as ever!

Food as always was excellent. Wine list has shrunk somewhat since I dined there regularly pre 2012, and the 2018 Mount Mary Quintet at $335 was definitely way overpriced. Service was excellent.

Very nice food and atmosphere, great service. On the pricier side but won't be disappointed.

Wine by the glass pricing a little excessive.

Wow! Absolutely fantastic spot. Food was phenomenal, Prosecco was limited in range but certainly the best my partner and I have ever had. Tables were intimately lit. Will certainly be going back!

Beautiful well priced food and lovely wine. We sat outdoors under the heaters and it was really pleasant

Went here for a date night with my partner - restaurant was romantic and had a lovely menu, not many options for vegetarians but otherwise lovely.

Great to be back out of Covid and at one of our favourite restaurants. Still a hidden gem. The food has definitely gotten better. Great chef!

One of Melbourne's best wine bars and contemporary dining restaurants, Punch Lane never fails to deliver on quality food and first class service. European flavour on most menu items and all beautifully prepared. Service is always friendly and helpful

The waiter didn’t give us napkins, didn’t tell us what we were drinking and forgot one of our meals. Nice guy but not doing his job. Otherwise, we love this place.

Loved the food service and ambience! A wonderful night out. Thank you

We were lucky enough to be able to book for the next night and had a great two course meal. The menu was quite limited but the food was excellent

As usual great service food and surroundings. Always the best.

Such a Melbourne treasure. Excellent food and great wine options.
