Restaurant Review: The Deanery

Location: 13 Bligh Place, Melbourne
Phone: 03 9629 5599
Link: thedeanery.com.au
Cuisine: Modern Australian
Overall Impression: 7/10

With an extensive wine list that you can be assured has been cellared appropriately, The Deanery has quite the reputation as a wine bar. 

Jamon Serrano

House made pork & chicken sausage, apple risotto

The food served is also of a very good standard. 

Chargrilled octopus, calamari, saffron potato, chorizo

Half roast duck, baked potato, burnt orange sauce

With Robin Wickens (Interlude) as head chef, the menu features well-executed Modern Australian fare. 

Passionfruit Bombe Alaska

Keeping with the wine-theme, the dining room feels like an old cellar – dimly lit, wooden furniture and exposed bulb lamps. 

The Deanery is an all-rounder, boasting both a solid wine and food menu which also happens to be very well priced. The service is equally as impressive. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable.
