SIGN UP• Bar Liberty’s out-of-this-world cacio e pepe is back – with a catch. Here’s the lowdown.
• First Look: the glamorous Bar Bambi brings carbonara jaffles and a Negroni fountain to the original Cherry Bar.
• Nothing says summer’s coming like two hours of bottomless frosé for $39.
• Spiced duck pies, sourdough subscriptions and luxurious double-choc cookies: Wildwood is a ripper new delivery-only bakery doing drop-offs in Thornbury and Preston.
• Expand your hot-sauce horizons at Mat’s Hot Shop, with tastings of more than 100 sauces. And a whole lot of merch.
• First Look: join the queue at the sleek new Hector’s Deli outpost in South Melbourne. (There are rotating roast specials – “whether it be porchetta or roast beef or meatballs”.)
• Treat yourself (or someone else) to one of Yarra Valley Caviar’s lush new gift boxes.
• First Look: a familiar Elsternwick spot – right next to Classic Cinemas – gets another life as Copycat. Go for chicken-liver-parfait cannoli and punchy melon cocktails.
• Tide is a fancy new bayside fish’n’chipper doing all the classics (including hulking hand-cut potato cakes), plus Baja fish tacos, vibrant salads and Greek custard-filled pastries.
