'Oh, that place with the vines out the front!'

Little Andorra is that cosy corner on Nicholson Street. It's an intimate dining room & bar, dedicated to serving amazing wines & delicious food to the intrepid bon vivant! Operating Wed-Fri nights, late lunch through to dinner Saturdays, and late lunch meze session 2pm Sundays. Head Chef Mertcan Dogusgen (ex-Attica) originally hails from Izmir, Turkey, from whence he brings his sense of Mediterranean freshness to his menu. The food is precise yet nurturing, the space understated yet elegant, & the wine list is eclectic yet approachable. With a focus on old world wine, we dive into as many dark & forgotten corners of Vitis Vinifera as we can find, then serve it without too much pomp. A leafy little courtyard for warmer days/nights, two small private dining spaces for groups 6-12 for when the weather is less kind.
Bookings for dietary requirements are highly recommended.
Eat. Drink. Virtus Unita Fortior. Welcome to Little Andorra!

It's a bugger that they won't be around much longer, this is truly a special place. Melbourne will be poorer for it.

Had a wonderful meal with exquisite, imaginative food, all matched perfectly by wine chosen by Luke. Was well looked after by the knowledgeable team. A lovely wine bar deserving of your attention.

Lovely place to go for dinner and a glass or two of wine. The set menu was varied…the first 2 courses were delicious! But the fish and beef course were both too salty for my palette. Wine was lovely. No coffee available. We enjoyed quiet conversation in this delightful venue.

Great service, they made us feel really welcomed. Very attentive with the drinks. We had a tasting and it was great. Value wise, we spend 75 each on the tasting, it was a great amount of food. On top of that the quality of it was great. Ambience is cozy and romantic. Good for couples

Great experiment at Little Andorra. Overall, the food was delicious. The Koftas were a little too salty and the vegetarian equivalent (piece of cauliflower) could have been better. I have rated value for money not the best. We were a group of ten and as part of the set menu, were given a piece of flatbread each to share between two. This was nowhere near enough, particularly for the saucy dishes. The waiter told us she happy to bring us some more however, we were charged $40 for another half a slice of bread each. A very overpriced slice of bread. Be prepared for additional food expenses outside of the set menu. All the staff were lovely and we had a nice time. Great cocktails and wine list.

The flavor of the food was very balanced with just the right amount of spice. Atmosphere was chill with eclectic tunes playing from the Vinyl. The service was on point, the timing of each course was flawless. Excellent wine selections that paired with the food perfectly! Can't recommend it enough

Little Andorra is so lovely! The service was kind & attentive. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves (somehow?!) on a lovely Friday evening. Nonetheless, the atmosphere was really nice, very moody, lovely music and lighting. We had the set menu, all the food was scrumptious. We added the special and dessert which were both standouts. Our only qualm was the mains were very salty - not a huge deal. Wine was divine! Great list and some nice stuff to choose from on the back bar too. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back!

A gem of a find. Wonderful range of Spanish and French wines. The food (we had tasting menu) was delicious and filling. They are able to cater to dietary requirements while sticking to the Turkish flavour profile, even for the substitute dishes. Staff were amazing, attentive and knowledgeable in the food and beverage options. Highly enjoyable and recommend for small group or intimate gatherings!
