Fine Dining Restaurants: Eureka 89

Hello!

Welcome to another fine dining restaurant review.

Today, we are heading to Eureka 89, in Melbourne's CBD.

I headed down to Melbourne for a weekend of food, wine, weddings and staying up late talking shit with Tara - much needed & so fun!

We had a 6pm reservation, which we ended up being early for, so we headed up to the Sky Deck first to check out the view whilst we waited.  If you are in Melbourne & you want to check it out, it's maybe a little touristy, but it's kinda cool.

Once we headed upstairs, we started on our 7 course degustation with matching wines.  As always, we started with a cocktail & then got going.

So what did we think?

With The Fat Duck excluded (because that sits in a league all on its own, so far), Eureka 89 took the top spot on my fine dining restaurant list.  Everything about it was exquisite!  The food was incredible, the wines were a perfect match, the service was friendly & knowledgeable, the view was spectacular.  My only complaint was that the restaurant was perhaps a little dark (we had to use the lamp on the table to take pictures haha), but it didn't affect our experience at all.  Loved. It.

Fine Dining Restaurant Mini Review:

Was it worth the money ($85pp for the degustation, plus matching wines): the most affordable degustation to date

Did I love every dish: Actually no... beetroot is not my jam, but I gave it a red hot go.  Everything else was incredible.

Favourite dish: Probably the crab or the duck

Matching wines: Yes - & SO worth it.

Anything I didn't like: Just the beetroot dish - but if you love beetroot, then it would be amazing too.

Would I go again: Absolutely yes.

If you are ever in Melbourne, put this restaurant at the top of your list.
