The Greenery is a fresh, easy-going restaurant, bar and café right in the heart of Melbourne's CBD, on Bourke Street Mall. Drop in for breakfast, a long lunch, dinner with friends, or a cocktail at the bar. Whatever the moment calls for, there's a seat for you.

Lunch, Dinner, or Just Dropping By

From breakfast through to last drinks, our kitchen moves from bistro classics to bold international flavours: think a laneway board for the table, a wagyu burger done right, or a char-grilled hanger steak with all the trimmings.

Pull up a stool at the bar for a considered wine list and a cocktail menu worth staying for, settle into the dining room for something more relaxed, or grab and go if you're on the move. However you like to eat, there's something for everyone.

About The Greenery

Looking for one of the best restaurants in Melbourne's CBD? The Greenery is a bright, easy-going all-day dining spot set within the reimagined Melbourne Walk precinct on Bourke Street Mall. It's a place to eat, drink, and gather any time of day, a quick coffee before work, a long lunch with friends, or dinner and drinks to close out the evening.

If you're after the best restaurants in Melbourne that don't take themselves too seriously, our menu leans fresh and simple, with a focus on local produce alongside a few global favourites: a classic Caesar salad and wood-fired margherita pizza, a char-grilled hanger steak, or a plant-based burger. At the bar, you'll find a genuine cocktail list alongside a considered wine list built around local labels, plus a solid range of beers on tap.

Right on Bourke Street Mall, The Greenery is a short walk from Melbourne Central, Flinders Street Station, Emporium Melbourne, and the GPO. With a tram stop at the door, it's an easy stop whether you're working nearby, exploring the city, or wondering where to eat on Bourke Street Mall.

Beyond the everyday, The Greenery also hosts meetings, conferences, private dinners and rooftop events. Our three flexible Causeway function rooms cater from an intimate boardroom of ten through to a 75-guest cocktail event, while The Terrace offers rooftop cocktail events with city views over Bourke Street Mall.

The Greenery is family-friendly with a dedicated Kids' Menu for younger diners, and our team is used to making every table, big or small, feel welcomed.
