Champagne & Oyster Bar, Crown Melbourne

Overview

Next time you're looking for an indulgent experience, head straight to Crown Melbourne's new Champagne & Oyster Bar. It does pretty much what it says on the tin. Exclusive champagne and high-quality oysters are served in a cavernous, velvet-clad, intimate bar complete with champagne-bottle-lined walls. 

The menu is built around Moët & Chandon Imperial, Rosé Impérial and Dom Pérignon, and freshly shucked Australian oysters, complemented by a handful of other equally luxurious and high-quality dishes. 

Given the elegant, upmarket setting, it's no surprise that caviar makes a starring appearance here too. It's served with simple potato chips, allowing the produce to speak for itself. Kingfish in lemon ponzu sauce, and a plate of fresh sashimi, make for light and refreshing snacks. Of course, premium cheese, such as Harbison's bloomy rind, also graces the menu. 

The calming space offers a quiet reprieve from the loud and bustling drinking, dining and entertainment precinct. Treat yourself to a memorable experience, perfect before a show, a mid-afternoon break, or an evening nightcap.
