Overview

Nestled on 181 Bank St, South Melbourne, Bellota Wine Bar feels a bit like a hidden gem, just waiting to be discovered. With a cozy yet upscale atmosphere, it’s the kind of place where you can kick back with friends or enjoy an intimate dinner. Picture soft lighting, rustic wooden tables, and a warm vibe that makes you feel right at home.

So, what’s the scoop? Bellota scores an impressive 4.5 out of 5 based on 287 reviews. That’s no small feat! Many folks rave about the exceptional service, claiming it’s a genuine surprise packet. Seriously, who doesn’t love being pampered while enjoying fantastic food? People have praised everything from the penne with tender lamb ragu to delightful oysters. And let’s not forget about the wine selection! The place even allows you to grab a bottle from the Prince Wine Store next door and bring it in—such a neat touch!

But, let’s keep it real—there have been a couple of hiccups here and there. For instance, not everyone has had a delightful experience with the staff. Some reviews mention that service can be hit or miss. Yet, if you’re lucky enough to catch a friendly face, you’ll find that the staff’s wine knowledge and enthusiasm can truly elevate your evening.

Now, if you’re a chocoholic like me, you simply can’t miss their desserts—think about indulging in a rich chocolate cake while sipping on a glass of Chianti Classico. Yum! And, while gluten-free options might leave some wanting more, the overall menu seems to have something for everyone.

Whether you’re looking for a casual spot to unwind or a place to celebrate a special occasion, Bellota’s got you covered. Plus, they’ve got outdoor seating, so if the weather’s nice, why not enjoy your wine al fresco? Just a heads up though, they’re closed on Mondays and Sundays.

In short, Bellota Wine Bar is more than just a pit-stop for a drink; it’s a full-blown experience where food, wine, and good company collide. So, who’s up for a visit?
