At a glance - Common Man

Gastrology recently explored the South Wharf Promenade on a gastronomic tour of six eateries. It was a delight to visit Melbourne’s oldest but newest riverside neighbourhood.

The dining showcased the versatility of the dining precinct through the Progressive Dinner's five-course degustation which took us through the renowned Melbourne restaurants Akachochin, Bohemian, BangPop, Common Man and Meat Market.

Featuring a plethora of food choices from the best restaurants in the precinct, the South Wharf Progressive Dinner offered authentic international dishes from Japan, Spain, Thailand and Australia, carefully crafted by each restaurant’s head chef. The flavoursome experience was amplified further with matched champagne, wine and sake.

Stop 1 - Common Man

First stop was Common Man which served appetising canapes of Tasmanian oysters with shallot vinaigrette alongside Zucchini fritters with herb sour cream. Common Main aims to serving rustic meals which showcase Melbourne's colourful culture. Read more here.
