Allow aroma of euro-charcoal-grill to blend with bouquet of berry or hint of dark chocolate as you reach for your wine glass.
Albert Park's Mediterraneo Charcoal Grill and Wine Bar is serious about its wine, with well over 140 varieties overflowing from the bar. The modern yet rustic ambience, euro-village-style wicker chairs and upbeat Spanish music lend it a distinctly European style. Seat yourself among the creamy stucco walls, modern paintings and artistic wine displays and be prepared for authentic charcoal grill scents to waft across the bar at you from the adjoining restaurant kitchen.
The emphasis is certainly on wines here, with pinots, shiraz, chardonnays, champagne, dessert wines, sherries and a truckload more ready to sate your thirst. Imported from places as far away as Spain, Italy and France, there are also plenty of fine familiar choices sourced from our own backyard. There are several by-the-glass options within each varietal list, but pack your wallet if you intend to step into bottled territory.
From casual drinks with friends and after-dinner sipping to outdoor cocktail parties and formal corporate functions, Mediterraneo is a versatile space. Art exhibitions are hosted in the cosy front room, and the venue also features an alfresco area with a courtyard marquee and an upstairs corporate function room with its own private bar.
