Our client is set to launch an exciting new venue in Melbourne CBD in the coming months, building on years of success across multiple Melbourne venues.
The new concept will capture the feel of a café by day, transforming into a wine bar and sharing-plates restaurant by night. This is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to showcase their barista and café expertise while also overseeing the evening trade within a fully serviced restaurant environment.
With the location being a popular area for office workers, tourists, and high foot traffic, it is expected that the venue will busy most days of the week.
