The Smith in Prahran, known for its delicate share plates and thoughtful wine and cocktail list, is a gastropub that with a difference.

Former director of both Taxi and Circa, the Smith's Scott Borg has created a venue to be enjoyed by every diner and drinker alike. With a bar and courtyard, striking dining space, and two function rooms, this Prahran resident has it all. Aptly titled, Mr Smith (dark leather, masculine fittings) and Mrs Smith (bright white walls and minimalist features), aesthetic photo-worthy angles are all over this joint.

Chef Michael Lambie, also of Taxi and Circa, has created a contemporary and creative menu designed to be shared, with dishes such as sticky pork belly, tempura rockling fillets, and roast spiced cauliflower feasted on by guests.
