I have wanted to go to Bar Lourinhã for ages, and now I regret not going sooner! The vibe is effortlessly cool yet welcoming, you feel instantly at home the moment you walk in. The food? Insanely good. The octopus was tender and full of flavour, and the duck was rich and perfectly cooked, absolute standouts. The service was warm and genuine, making the whole experience feel special. Melbourne, you have done it again, this spot is pure magic.

Everything from the snacks to the starters was absolutely delicious — especially the potato gnocchi, which was so good I’d go back just for that. We really enjoyed the experience… until the steak arrived. Unfortunately, the rump steak was incredibly tough — I couldn’t even chew through a bite, and it ended up tiring my jaw. My partner finished it because we didn’t want to waste food, but it was a disappointing end to an otherwise lovely meal. Hence the four stars.

Dinner in Melbourne @bar_lourinha - it’s a small spot, crowded and intimate, kitsch set up and an array of mismatched trinkets in the wall which made for the atmosphere. Food is tapas based and designed to share. We had some croquettes, kingfish crudo, duck and the pork shoulder. Accompanied by a couple of wines
