Monopole
From the excellent folks who also brought you Yellow , Cirrus (a delightful seafood-focused restaurant) and Bentley (stayed tuned for an upcoming review), Monopole is a darkly cosy eatery with a lightly art deco feel. The open kitchen allows you to look at the hustling and bustling, yet the space still feels quiet and intimate somehow.

A platter consists of Ranger's Valley brisket pastrami, smoked pork belly, Berkshire pork neck and Cape Grim beef tongue - all of which are delicious, but the smoked pork belly is a rich, fatty stand out. Kobe Beef Shoulder Lip The real star, however, is this wonderful plate of delicious morsels.
