Faro Bar + Restaurant
Artful dining
Faro is an experiment—a cavernous, light-drenched space built into the museum and suspended over the river.
Creative cuisine from executive chef Vince Trim, artworks from James Turrell, intriguing drinks, live music, performance and so forth.
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.
