Marion Wine Bar

Stunning restaurant! We enjoyed every bit of this place—from the atmosphere and the service to, undoubtedly, the food. The flatbread was the star. We loved it so much that we ordered it twice. The vodka pasta and the pork cutlet were great too. We sat outside as we didn’t have a reservation, but it did not disappoint. The indoor seating looked lovely as well. They also have a great wine selection. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Just WOW! The worst thing about this restaurant was that we had to wait 2.5 hours for a table. Visiting Melbourne from sydney and my daughter found this gem. We had the most wonderful late lunch at Marion after a stroll down Gertrude street. So we couldn’t decide what to eat! Ordered a fabulous bottle of French rose while we decided. Stares with kingfish crisp Ina citrus horseradish delishessness sauce. Asparagus was crunchy and fresh. The flatbread to insane. To end the starters we had the leek tart. We completed the feast with the pasta regati with vodka sauce with a side of fresh leaves dressed simply but perfect. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The brûlée was the right ending. Amazing the numbers of sitting this venue does must be huge. Loved!

Marion Wine Bar has delicious food and a really great vibe. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, making it a perfect spot for a date or a night out with friends. The staff are attentive and friendly, and the wine selection is impressive. Definitely a place I’d recommend for both food and drinks! 🍷✨

The flatbread was sensational (but small so we ordered a second). I didn’t particularly enjoy the dessert and the larger dishes came out staggered I assume owing to us being on shared bench seating that probably wouldn’t have accommodated multiple plates. This wasn’t ideal for us as we weren’t intending to share them. Regardless service was very friendly and whilst I was nervous about not having a reservation arriving at 5.30pm did the trick to secure a table. Great atmosphere befitting of a date night and definitely a high calibre venue on the Melbourne wine bar scene

Our first time at Marion Wine Bar and experience was as expected - Excellent! Wine Bar scene in Melbourne is quite competitive and honestly most of them you can't fault even if you want to be strict & overly critical. Marion is one of those top tier bars where everything goes smooth and effortlessly perfect. Of course, we all know that comes only with lots of effort and passionate approach to food and service they are providing to their guests. Service was immaculate!!! We had Pork chops, O'Connor Sirloin steak, vodka pasta and Leek tart, all well executed and presented perfectly! Wine list was extensive and maybe on the pricier side, but surely nice drop can be found at reasonable price and matched with excellent food creates perfect combo for enjoyment We would highly recommend Marion!! We'll be back Jana &Boris

We really enjoyed our dinner and drinks. Especially the passionfruit mocktail and the green salad. The fish was beautifully cooked, flavoursome and tender. The vodka pasta was slightly underseasoned, but still enjoyable. The entrees were tiny but packed with flavour. Overall a great experience albeit a bit pricey for portion size.

Loved the food & wine. Only negative is we finished similar time to a few nearby tables. The waiter checked them out in a timely manner while we sat another 20 minutes before anyone came to see us.

I came to Marion for a friend’s birthday lunch and was told I’d be given vegan versions of the set menu. Most of my food was just salad, and when I had to leave early, I was promised a takeaway pasta main and dessert. Instead, I was given a small portion of mushrooms and salad — no dessert. My friends didn’t get dessert either, and when we raised concerns, we were met with excuses. We still paid full price. This was my third time at Marion, but after this experience, I won’t be back or recommending it to anyone.

A chic, small, yet vibrant modern restaurant located in the heart of Fitzroy! Once again, we brought our team member to dine here with us as a thank you gesture, and we were honestly proud of our choice. The food is undeniably good and their service is top notch! The friendly staff have impressive skills with carrying the dishes. We ordered quite a lot of food and they did not disappoint! Marion is a great little bar to visit during the day that you can nibble through as you enjoy your wine sipping session. Their wine collection is absolutely CRAZY - come visit and find out yourself!

Good vibe for brunch, lunch or evening wine and tapas. Very creative yet refined menu. Stopped in for a small plate and glass of wine. Great for a group of 6 or less. Order: Chilled mussel salad in a citrus vinaigrette and the BREAD WTH!!! Best bread I've ever eaten. Should've asked what kind it was but if i could eat that bread every day I would! Really good service as well.

All hail the King of Hospo! Andrew McConnel, or A-Mac as I like to call him (as if to imply we are best buddies, which we totally aren't) has done it again with Marion. Serving up an ever changing menu of seasonal tasty plates and a wine list that makes me excited to be alive, Marion is the kind of place I wish was my local. Fitzroy is fast becoming THE wine bar suburb of Melbourne with Bar Clarine, Bar Liberty, Hell of the North and the ever lovable and reliable Enoteca all serving up terrific wine by the glass and bottle along with solid food offerings. If you wanted to you could jump around multiple venues in a night having a glass and a bite at each, a kind of progressive dinner. But back to Marion... it's lovely. The food and wine is top notch but what I really want to tell you about is the service. It's friendly, knowledgable and efficient. Each guest is made to feel special but not fawned over and the pace of the experience is perfectly suited to what you're in the mood for. Up for some wine nerd chat? You've got it! Want to be left alone so you can stare in to your eyes of your beloved? No worries! Want to be told what to order and drink so you can be delighted and surprised? Easy. Waiters who can read what you need, and give it to you, are as rare as hens teeth, but A-Mac attracts some of the best staff in this city and it's always a pleasure to dine in any of his establishments because of this. 5 stars.

What a lovely wine bar! We came here for date night and could not have been more pleased. The service was helpful and attentive and suggested a beautiful wine for us. We ordered quite a few things off the menu and all of the food was delicious, too. Definitely look forward to returning.

Always a lovely experience at Marion, my partner and I chose this place for a relaxing dinner and wine. The staff have great knowledge about their wine and food selection, it's nice to have a trip to another continent for a couple of hours. Highly recommend for any occasion.

Excellent quality wine with a large list plus interesting light food. Minimalist space that can get a bit noisy. Nice addition to the area.

One word, phenomenal. This is from the same restaurant group as Supernormal and Cumulus Inc. Which are by far the best restaurants in Melbourne, CBD area. The food is fantastic, taste and presentation is at the same level as Supernormal. Staff is knowledgeable on the wines and after we tasted three wines we didn't fancy, they suggested one more wine that wasn't on the menu here (they pulled it from the fine dining restaurant next door that is apart of the same group) and the wine was exactly what we wanted. Food was superb. Highly recommended.

Wonderful location, incredible and extensive wine list. Great service- I recommend sitting outside late on a summers day. Expensive - but all of high quality and beautiful glassware.

Once again Andrew is crushing it. Along with his other fine establishments and neighbouring Cutler & Co, Marion is an exceptional and welcome addition to the family. As with the others, this too caters well for the solo diner with exceptional plate value and brilliantly attentative staff. Food was, of course, on point as expected with numerous offerings which tantalized and intrigued. Bonus points for the unhesistant opening of a noteworthy magnum for by-the-glass enjoyment. Definitely added to the ever-growing list of rotating regulars.
