Fog Restaurant & Bar
Also known as: Fog
It's all about the arrival here. Put on the dark sunnies, slip past the paparazzi and make your way into this uber-glam restaurant favoured by celebrities and the upwardly mobile. Take a 'look at me' walk along the blue carpet, past the shiny black columns, a quick glance in the mirror and sit down ready to enjoy contemporary cuisine full of classic flavours with a bit of southern US spice thrown in. The achiote braised lamb quesadillas are Mexican heaven.
This is a restaurant, cocktail bar and a sort of beer garden all in one. Slick and trendy with lots of unusual dishes, the special set menus are a good way to try it out. It was screamingly busy but service was great. The desserts are somewhat uninspiring, although I did find the crme brulee very good. Parking is always a hassle around here so come prepared. It is moderately expensive by Melbourne standards. My other concern is that outdoor areas tend to get monopolised by smokers and the open fire needs to be turned off in hot weather.
I have been here for dinner quite a few times and have been very happy with the food and the staff.
I had one indecent a while back where i did not like the steak that was brought out to me. the waiter took it away and came back less then 10 minutes later with a new steak, plus a free dessert. I was very happy with the way the staff conducted themselves, and was more then happy to leave them a tip for their wonderful service.
Fog is fast becoming a regular haunt for my friends and I. What started as 'Let's try Fog, I've heard it's supposed to be good" has fast become "Let's go back to Fog" on a regular basis. From its trendy location in Greville Street Prahran to its glamourous decor and classy set-up, Fog is an a fantastic destination for dinner, drinks, or a night of cocktails before you head on out for a dance. The menu is varied and has something for everyone; the sizes are decent and the prices fairy reasonable for the area. The outdoor courtyard provides a relaxed feel and inside boasts a la carte dining. I also recently had a birthday there and the staff were absolutely fantastic to deal with. I can't recommend Fog highly enough!
Took the team down to Fog on Friday night for our office break up dinner! The girls spent hours pouring over the cocktail list, we simply loved the food as it was classic dishes done extremely well! You know it's always a good sign to see a recognisable face from Master Chef eating there...The chocolate molten cake for dessert was perfect way to end a naughty night out! Brilliant night and will be back soon
