Congress - Melbourne

We had an amazing night at this fantastic little gem in Collingwood. We loved the decor, atmosphere, food, drinks, and service. We caught up with a group of friends for dinner and tried the set menu. Each dish was beautifully presented and the flavors were incredible. The wine selection was exceptional. We highly recommend Congress, Lagotto, and Future Future!

I love this beautiful wine bar in Collingwood. It's a luxe atmosphere, but in a simple, understated way. Lots of timber and natural light make it a really enjoyable place for a drink or two. The ambience is buzzing, as it gets quite busy here at night; but it's not too crowded that it gets annoying.<br/ <br/ Service is great. The bar stuff know their stuff, and there is a lovely drinks list too. We popped in recently for some wine and dessert. The wine was delicious, and the dessert was fresh and flavourful. The food menu looks really appetising and we plan on coming back for something more substantial. With a sophisticated edge, Congress is a lovely spot for a date night, or a nice catch up with friends.

This newly opened diner in Collingwood is absolutely outstanding. From the attentive and knowledgeable staff to the great wine selection and fantastic food, the experience was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. The pigs head croquette and spelt pasta were exceptional, even though I wouldn't typically choose them. This place definitely deserves a chef's hat.

Overall, the food at this restaurant is outstanding, with a great atmosphere and flawless service from the staff. Their thorough knowledge of the menu and impressive food make it a must-try for anyone looking for the best dining experience in Melbourne.

I recommend Congress for a special occasion that you’re willing to splash a tiny bit of cash for, but end up having a beautifully warm experience with yummy food and first class service. <br/ <br/ They’ve got a modern Australian thing going on here, so it’s sort of like small share plates with tasty bits and pieces. The staff are the real stand-outs at this place. They are obviously really passionate about what they do and have a great understanding of the quality of food they serve, along with thoughtful recommendations from the wine list. We had the chef’s set menu which meant we didn’t have to think about how much and what to get. The food COULD be replicated in other places, but it was service really made the night.
