Flora

Overview

Part of the family of venues that call the historic H. May building home (Continental Deli, Osteria Bucca and Mister Grotto), Flora is an all-day vegetarian restaurant with a sustainable edge.

Guided by Head Chef Jude Hughes, who boasts a background working in eco-conscious venues like Byron Bay's Three Blue Ducks and The Summertown Aristologist, diners can expect inventive veggie dishes where local and seasonal ingredients are pushed to their flavoursome limits, along with culinary creations that hero fermentation, house-made vinegars and woodfired goodness on every plate.

Start small with house pickles and woodfired tempeh, go heartier and tuck into grilled mushrooms with confit garlic and yolk, or venture into more exotic territory with the likes of Congo purple potato gnocchi with fioretto, lemon and lentil miso. Desserts are no different, and the hero treat is undoubtedly a Queen Garnet plum trifle with sweet corn custard and popcorn meringue.

The drinks menu is an all-Australian affair, with a curated selection of wine, cocktails and coffee available from open until close. This new space is also wonderfully atmospheric, with modern vintage furnishings and charming accents creating a warm but refined ambience. Walk in from 8am to enjoy invigorating morning options, or book for dinner to indulge in elevated vegetarian cuisine.
