IDES

Ides is a restaurant and bar that distinctly embodies Melbourne's flavours and worldliness. Seating only 32 guests at a time, the intimate Dining Room presents a contemporary Australian menu. For the ultimate Ides experience, 'The Six' and 'The Twelve' are multi-course tasting menus with dishes served in succession, or harmoniously together. The 'Daily Menu' invites guests to create their own culinary journey selecting from an ever-evolving line-up of à la carte snacks and plates. Sunday is a day dedicated entirely to new ideas, with dishes appearing not long after they’ve been ideated. Changing weekly, the five-course 'One Day Sunday' menu welcomes spontaneity and offers guests an opportunity to look behind the curtain of the Ides development kitchen. Next door, the Ides Bar embraces a fun approach to fine dining, with a playful and condensed offering of the Ides menus, alongside original cocktails, wines and more. The Curia Room is a stunning and secluded 12 seat private dining room. The wise list is deliberately tactile in response to the unscripted nature of Ides, while the cellar selection celebrates steadfast producers alongside esoteric gems of Australia and beyond. The atmosphere blurs the line between refinement and rawness, with nuanced service allowing guests to sink deep into the experience. At Ides, moments are tailored and unique, leaving guests intrigued to discover what the night reveals next.
