Faro Bar + Restaurant
Art, eats, drinks
Bit of an experiment: a cavernous, light-drenched bar / restaurant built into the museum and suspended over the river.
Creative cuisine, James Turrell artworks close to hand, the possibility of someone playing an oud, extremely large windows, and so on. A la carte or four-course tasting menu for lunch; we take the wheel for dinner. Paired drinkies also available.
Bookings recommended for lunch, required for dinner. Sample menu here. Email bookings@mona.net.au if you'd like a group booking of 7 or more people.
