About this restaurant

  • Good for business meals
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for brunch
Located in the Melbourne CBD, Slate pays homage to European hospitality; encompassing this through an emphasis on its food, service and ambience.
The principles behind the vision of Slate Restaurant Bar are to provide a quality venue enabling those working in the city to get away from the everyday.
Whether it be to dine with colleagues or enjoy a couple of drinks with friends, with two dining rooms and three terraces you are bound to find the right atmosphere.
Our rooftop terrace, which is covered and heated, will ensure the ideal alfresco dining or drinking experience all year round.
We have appointed David Maclean as Executive Chef. David trained under luminaries in the culinary world such as Marco Pierre White in London. He then took his skills across to Hong Kong where he cut his teeth on Asian cuisine with the Maxim Group and then, later on, ventured into the Atlantic group's kitchen as their head chef.

    We enjoyed the express lunch. Would come more often it if there was a healthier option, but enjoyed the calamari salad.

    Got to the restaurant at 7.30 no one showed us to the table Had to wait for 10 minutes to get the menu Food was very average plus we had a missing item that never turned up to the table This is more of a bar than a restaurant and should just serve bar snacks

    Everything was enjoyable at the restaurant and the food a highlight. Suckling pig/pork belly was best I've eaten! Italian waiters were very attentive and helpful. Shame people can smoke outside at their tables - the only downside to an otherwise great meal.

    This is my second time here. I'm on a diet so the kale salad I had was just enough except there wasn't enough chicken and what was there was dry. The menu labeled it roasted. I expected juicy. Possibly add a touch more of the tasty dressing as the overall salad was a bit dry. Water wasn't cold enough.

    Have been here a few times and have not been disappointed. Service is great and the wine reasonable. Have always been well looked after.
