Culprit

  • Bar
  • Cafe

Culprit is the playful café-come-bar experience located on the ground level of W Melbourne, that entices guests to mix and mingle throughout the day, and well into the aperitivo hour. Offering a selection of gourmet breakfasts to fuel the morning, Culprit transforms into a European style wine bar as day turns to night.

Culprit is a go-to destination for a rotating daily selection of house-made pastries, salads and sandwiches made with locally sourced ingredients, either for dine-in or take-away.

The extensive wine list strikes a healthy balance between new and next varietal wines and the classics. Boasting over 30, the majority come from local winemakers from The Yarra Valley to the Macedon Ranges and Mornington Peninsula, while varietals from France, Spain and Italy complement the local selection.
