Public Wine Shop
Organic wines and an eclectic yet succinct menu drawing on predominantly French influences are what you can look forward to at Public Wine Shop.
Overview
Simultaneously a wine shop and a wine bar, Public Wine Shop has been satiating the tastebuds of North Fitzroy-ians since opening at the end of 2020.
Minimal intervention wines that contain organically farmed grapes and no additives are the stars of the show at Public Wine Shop. But the accompanying food is nothing to be sneezed at.

Squeeze into the intimate setting that can fit up to 20 people and enjoy a selection of seasonally changing, French-leaning dishes put together with produce from small, dedicated local farms.
Enjoy kimbito olives — that is, olives stuffed with mini gherkins — in chilli oil. Avail yourself of neighbouring baking institution Loafer's bread with cultured butter and the add-on options of salami and cervelle de canut, a Lyonnaise fresh cheese dip.

Bigger dishes on the eclectic menu range from spaghetti with delicata squash and basil pistou to pork and crab wontons doused in a mushroom xo sauce and garnished with chervil.
To finish, the dessert menu includes as many sweet treats as it does cheese. If you prefer to end your meal on a more savoury note, choose from the likes of Shropshire hard cow's cheese, Lombardy semi-hard cow's cheese and a Basque sheep's blue.
