Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Brighton East

This was the first time my husband and I had come for lunch (usually dine there in the evening) and the waiter explained everything well. My husband ordered a glass of wine but I asked for a cocktail that I've had before that wasn't on the drinks menu. No problem. The barman hadn't made it before but it was perfect (so he got to make two). The food is always great at Vivace and today was no different. Thanks again.

Hands down one of the best culinary experiences of my life. Every dish is perfectly balanced in flavour, consistency and colour. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional and the wine wilst has no end. Cannot report even the slightest issue, the staff is ready to help on every aspect and with the open space kitchen you can see everything happening all around, very tidy and clean. If I ever come back to Melbourne this will be on my MUST list and I'll definitely recommend this venue to all friends visiting the city.

Wow, a great experience in fine dining matched to great seafood and impeccable service. Wine, Oysters, Calamari, Pork belly with a final Rock Lobster main… well done to all involved. A intimate evening where the Standards were kept very high all the way through to the powder rooms. Would recommend to anyone Brighton waterfront. MR

If you enjoy the slightly unusual with an Aussie influence then this is the restaurant for you - we really enjoyed the food, it was an unforgettable night The only two downers that don’t relate to the food were 1. We didn’t have any dedicated waiting staff so didn’t get to develop any repartee / relationship which often enhances the night. The sommelier young man was the exception and therefore great … we had little conversations with him during the wine selection times …. He was great - having said that there was lots of serving staff 2. in the past we had heard (and was looking forward) to going into a real garden to show some of the produce used so quite disappointing to be lead to an enclosed box out the back either lots of little standing tables for guests

Fabulous Portuguese food experience, good wine selection. The staff were warm, friendly, informative but not intrusive. Great night celebrating our Anniversary.
