Latin American Dining at Morena Melbourne
Looking for an exceptional Latin American dining experience in Melbourne? Honored to be one of the first to experience two unique, elevated dining experiences from Executive Chef Alejandro Saravia celebrating the traditions and flavours from across Latin America with the launch of Morena Melbourne.
Morena Melbourne offers two innovative Latin American dining experiences; Morena Restaurant and Morena Barra, located side by side at 71 Little Collins Street and I was privileged to experience both!
Morena Barra offers an all-day dining experience inspired by the lively and vibrant cantinas found throughout Latin America. Diners here can choose from both à la carte and chef’s selection menus. Cantina style, loud and fun! Check out the Morena Barra experience above and also pics below.
Morena Restaurant offers a more formal dining experience focusing on high end ingredients and takes diners on a journey through Latin America across two levels, including a balcony seating area overlooking Little Collins Street. We enjoyed superb unique dining with bold flavours and vibrant dishes, that was a touch of class all the way!
Highlight dishes include: Braised Andean ollucos, smoked oca cream and preserved oca; Coral trout tiradito, aji amarillo kosho and fermented mandarin emulsion; Seared Marlin ceviche with tamarillo coconut tiger’s milk, aji panca oil; Grilled grouper loin, squid and octopus stew, prawn dashi; and a Suckling goat, aged mole, morita chilli salsa, nasturtium.
Exciting new additions to the Melbourne dining scene! #invite
