New Menu at Pinchy’s Includes Meat
Looking for the best burger in Melbourne? Pinchy's Lobster & Champagne Bar, a beloved gem in Melbourne’s dining scene known for its seafood and vegan delights, has embarked on an exciting new chapter of adding a selection of meat dishes that inject fresh depth and innovation to its already acclaimed menu.
Under the culinary genius of Chef Pieter Buijsse, the restaurant invites diners to experience an elevated interpretation of surf and turf.
The inclusion of meat is as refined as one would expect from Pinchy’s. The menu shines with dishes like the tender Pork Tomahawk Cotoletta, accompanied by bagna cauda, native herbs, and rock oysters—a melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece that echoes Buijsse’s mastery of flavors and textures.
The Hibachi Quail, paired with native pepper, juniper, beetroot, and a touch of sea herbs, delivers a punch of complexity that captivates the palate.
While Pinchy’s keeps seafood front and center, the new additions create an intriguing interplay of land and sea. The Grilled Octopus, paired with a smoky Davidson plum BBQ sauce and delicate taramasalata, embodies this approach perfectly.
The integration of meat, however, reaches its pinnacle with their newly famed Wagyu Beef Burger. Luxurious yet playful, it’s adorned with smoked tuna bacon, American cheese, pickles, marie-rose sauce, and trout roe, showcasing Pinchy’s knack for fusing the unexpected with finesse. A double patty is a highlight, and the burger has the option of being crowned with a Lobster claw and saltbush fries.
Complementing the menu, Buijsse’s brilliant smaller bites remain a highlight. The Scalloped Potato, a golden creation topped with scallop ceviche and yuzu kosho, is an indulgent standout, while the Crispy Potato Galette with veal and tonnato sauce is another tribute to how Pinchy’s elevates comfort food to an art form.
An exceptional wine list beckons diners to embrace bold pairings, while a stellar cocktail selection adds to the sense of occasion. Service is attentive, ensuring every guest feels welcomed into this new, more expansive Pinchy’s—where innovation and indulgence are served in equal measure. #theworldlovesmelbourne #invite
