Woody P. to Open on Flinders Lane
This autumn, we're eating Mediterranean.
Already one of the best streets to eat on in Melbourne, Flinders Lane is adding another culinary notch to its belt. Opening next month just a few doors down from Chin Chin, Woody P. will serve up simple, tasty Mediterranean cuisine in a relaxed and sophisticated setting from May.
So what Mediterranean nosh can we expect to be nibbling this autumn? Highlights on the Woody P. menu will include kingfish crudo with beetroot, fennel and horseradish, pork cheek croquettes with apple aioli and chorizo crumb, corn-fed duck with blood plum, and 48-hour beef ribs with roast onions and gremolata. If you’re wondering what some of those dishes might look like, have a bit of a perve on the delicious-looking Woody P. trailer:
The menu is the brainchild of Head Chef Clinton Camilleri, who has spent the better part of a decade working in kitchens across rural Victoria. His tenure as Head Chef at the Healesville Hotel helped earn the venue the 2014 Age Good Food Guide Regional Restaurant of the Year award. At Woody P. he’ll be assisted by Venue Manager Brent Scales, previously of Stokehouse Cafe and the Stokehouse City Bar.
The interior of the restaurant was designed by Eades and Bergman, who can already lay claim to a number of Melbourne eating institutions including Kong, Mr. Miyagi and Flinders Lane’s own Meatball and Wine Bar. Expect exposed brick walls, textured glass and contemporary pendant lighting, as well as a large outdoor dining area with lanterns and bluestone floors. It'll be like summer never left.
Woody P. is currently expected to open in May at 121 Flinders Lane, Melbourne. You can stay up to date via their Facebook.
