Our Take
Melbourne's Most Respected Natural Wine Bar
Embla is Melbourne's most respected natural wine bar — 200+ rotating producers from small Italian, French, Australian, and Austrian estates. The 56-seat room is candlelit with leather banquettes and a small open kitchen at the back.
The wine list runs 200+ bottles. Bartenders are sommeliers. The kitchen serves modern Australian small plates. The crowd is Melbourne wine professionals 30-60 and visiting wine tourists.
Pair with Eau de Vie after for a cocktail wind-down.
