  • Restaurant
  • Casual dining

Part classic Aussie restaurant, part modern Melbourne bar in the heart of the theatre district, at Bossley's the menu is a collection of favourite things featuring classic techniques, exquisite execution and seasonal dishes that always hero the top-tier produce.

For something lighter, think delicious cocktails and small bites bar-side. Or for the moments where attitude and appetite are larger than life, explore the classic grill menu, bountiful sides, an exquisite glass of wine or two, and never, ever skip dessert.

A cross between neighbourhood haunt and destination dining, come just as you are and do as Bossley would do: savour every sip, bite and moment in between.
