Heartattack and Vine

Absolutely brilliant sandwiches! Every component is amazingly prepared and the sandwich is big enough for 2 pax. The ciabatta bread is delicious enough to be eaten by it own, the pork are yum and the sauce is down right. You can smell the chimichuru when you step into the shop. The additional mustard and chantey are good pair with the sandwiches. My only complain is it would be great to include more of the pork skin haha Tart is pretty good and the flat white is not the best but good enough. Service are welcoming

The hot chocolate from here is heavenly! 😋 Also the cups they serve it in are so cute! The croissants here are on point! 🏆 I recommend you get both the butter & the jam. The people who work here also really sweet & kind 😇 I will be back next time i am in the area! ✨

Went there on a weekday night, extremely good atmosphere within the cafe, loved the lighting which set the mood and customer service was excellent. We had hot chocolates which were delicious followed by a tiramisu that was a great serving size to share. Lovely service, cleanliness up to standards and great staff! Would definitely come back!

Such a lovely wine bar with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. I think I’ll be coming back often! 🤩

As soon as you walk in the warm, embracing atmosphere welcomes you, as do the very friendly and accommodating staff. The menu is considered and pared down so you’re not overwhelmed with choices. A good selection of drinks allows for all tastes and moods. We ordered our usual flat white and chai latte, both of which were very good, hot and flavoursome. We had the shakshuka eggs baked in a bowl, freshly made and very delicious. A great experience and worth a visit.

Very professional and lovely staff member. The tea was very good and the pastry excellent. The mood is good, just the coffee machine is a bit loud if you come with friend or for in interview (opened barista). And is a bit cold inside because of the opened facade.

Love this place so much. They continue to impress me each time. This morning I tried the Spanish omelette sandwich. Perfect 👌

Amazing concept for a restaurant/bar. As soon as you enter, you immediately feel like you've automatically a chique venetian. The moody lighting, low set bar seats make it a great place for dates, or for a relaxed catch-up spot with friends. The tapas style concept is fantastic. You don't have to commit to large dishes that you may not like (though everything on the menu seemed delicious). The one drawback is that the small breaded snacks can get soggy the longer they sit out there.

I came here for the Sunday brunch routine and was happy that with it. Nope, it's not your ideal brunch place, but it served its purpose. They have slim pickings of three different rolls or granola. I tried both the bocconcini, and the tortilla roll. The tortilla roll has a Spanish omelette inside. Both were delicious. At $9 each I was taken back by the serving size, it's a full ciabatta roll that melts in your mouth, soft and fluffy on the inside, perfect. The layout is a long space, with the kitchen set in the middle. You order and pay at the counter while they bring your food to you. The seating in the front looks very European with seats at the window looking straight onto the street. There are two long communal tables and small seating arrangements as well. A lot of people were coming and in out of it, which tells me that they must doing something right.

Good location, small but appropriate hip wine and beer menu, teeny tiny dishes to tempt the soul and most importantly a warm space to enjoy it in. Add in a dash of decent bar staff and you get yourself a great night out at Heart Attack and Vine. Firstly this place is literally a breath of fresh air on the culturally and socially confused Lygon St. When we walked in the space was crowded and buzzing with happy customers. The staff quickly sorted us a seat at the bar and explained the simple dining style. CICCHETTI - A constantly rotating, seasonal selection of Venetian-style bar food. Changing throughout the night and served with potato crisps. The wine and beer list is small but packs a punch. There's a little something for everyone. If you're confused the bar staff are well educated on the menu. A welcome relief in this part of town.

Heartattack and Vine. Had to be worth a look if only for the name, right? Right! This cozy little eatery across from the Nova in Lygon Street doesn't have an extensive menu, but you can only eat one thing at a time as I always say so as long as they had one thing I felt like eating it was going to be OK. They actually had two things - prawn brioche and porchetta ciabatta. I opted for the pork as the lady behind the counter was in the process of chopping it up fresh from the oven when I walked in. This was served with salsa verde, a side of coleslaw, and a couple of dollops of tomato sauce and mustard. I forked some slaw onto my roll, smeared it with a generous smear of Old English mustard, and dug in. Tasty, and quite a generous serve for $15. And washed down with a pint of Hawthorne Pale Ale, a lovely pre-movie snack.

Something has happened to Lygon Street over the past few years. When did it go from family-friendly, tourist-grabbing, so-so pizza restaurants to sexy, late-night bars for the beautiful people? I'm not complaining. I like it. Heart Attack and Vine is the latest on this list and your absolute perfect destination for a late night drink after seeing a movie at the Nova or smashing a charcuterie board over at D.O.C. The atmosphere is warm and friendly in this petite venue. Grab a seat at the bar (the bar is always the place to be) and flick through the impressive wine and cocktail list. We started with cocktails (when in Rome) choosing the simple yet powerful Negroni and the daily cocktail special. It was a delicious mix of mystery alcohol with pear and rose petals - just as pretty as it sounds. Heart Attack and Vine also has small little nibbles to indulge in, similar to the pintxos you would find over at Naked for Satan. Pretty please promise me you will pop in next time your in the area? You won't be disappointed.

Nice and cosy, good drinks and very good food. Easy going place, affordable and great for meeting point

Fun place for a cuppa, mocha was great, and I loved the outdoor seating! Nice place to take a break when visiting the Melbourne Museum.

Tasty food and fast service. Tapas style Italian food sounds like a bit of a clash of cultures but it works well in this setting. Great for social sharing. The seating is quite cosy so don't be surprised if you find other groups sitting on the same table.

Great staff and a fresh addition to the Lygon Street scene. The tapas (cicchetti) style dishes, nice wines, fresh beer and Italian afternoon drinks set the mood and none of it disappoints!

Simple menu that is delicious. Great wine list. Had a great little lunch here. Their signature pulled pork sandwich is awesome.
