Faro Bar + Restaurant

Mux video placeholder image

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.

FAQs

What's all this about music and performance?

Faro is a dining experience that features art, live music, and performance. It’s loud, mostly harmless fun. You may be asked to help someone play a bass, but you're free to refuse.

Do I need to book?

We recommend you book to avoid disappointment.

I have dietary requirements, can you accommodate?

Because the guy who owns the place is vegetarian, our food tends to be vegetarian (or vegan), or use sustainably-sourced meat. If you have other dietaries, let us know when booking. If you have questions about allergens, contact Bookings and Enquiries directly.

Can I change my booking date?

Yes, subject to availability. Contact our Bookings & Enquiries team on +61 (3) 6277 9978 or tickets@mona.net.au ahead of time.

How long should I allow to visit Mona?

You could probably speed through everything in three or four hours, but if you're lunching on site or doing other things (ticketed artworks, sipping wine) while you're here, we recommend you make a day of it.

Do you accept cash?

Nope. Mona is cashless.
