I’ve had many requests over the years for recommendations on private dining rooms, as well as restaurants that allow bookings for larger groups, so I thought it was about time to put together a list of where I often recommend to people; hence I present to you a mini version of Private and Group Dining in Melbourne.
I’ve tried to include a small but curated range, including restaurants with different styles, spaces and cuisines.
Is there a venue you’d like us to add to the list? Let us know at: info@decisivecravings.com.au
