The Moon

Tucked away in the corners of Collingwood is this true gem. The vibes are impeccable. Alessio blessed with the experience of throughly explaining the flavour profiles of each dish and wine. When questioned about what a ‘caper’ is he went above and beyond and brought some out from the kitchen for us to try. The food here is highly underrated, big compliments to chef Michael. The food selections are well curated. Would highly recommend as a dinner spot. This is more than just a wine bar. This is a flavour experience. Ask for Alessio, his knowledge is unmatched

📍The Moon, Collingwood - 3.8 ⭐️ out 5. This wine bar has impeccable vibes, with a gorgeous sitting area at the front where you can people watch Collingwood goers, or a more moody back area. We were lucky enough to score a beautiful round booth where we sat under the moon (lovedddd it). All the other seating here is high stools without a back. I fear that I may not have stayed so long if I was sat at one of those tables because I get uncomfortable quickly. We had plenty of beautiful wine (starting from around $15 for a glass of red) and I also tried the coraggio ($24) which is their version of an espresso martini. This had brown butter, burnt coffee and frangelico, and came with a brownie (!!!!). I was obsessed with brownie detail but found that the drink fell a little flat for me, I wanted the flavour to be more punchy with the brown butter being fairly faint. I didn’t try any food but the focaccia looked incredible here. Overall 3.8 ⭐️ out of 5.

Great food, service, music, but unfortunately not wine. We’ve sampled about 12 wines, but even after opening a $145 bottle for us, we got disappointed. All wine tastes like entry level wine and extremely overpriced for what it is. If you’re looking for a nice place to hangout with friends and don’t care about the wine, then yes. We came to this wine bar to have some good wine, but unfortunately we couldn’t find it. Great alternative with fantastic wine is Marion.

Great spot for a glass of wine and light meal. Good diversity of wines by glass and bottle with many European wines to explore and enjoy.

Really liked the vibe at this wine bar. Dimly lit spot with nice seating, the wait staff are super attentive & warm. Enjoyed the wines - especially the Oyster Bay white wine. For food, the Kingfish and fried bread are definitely worth ordering but don’t come here if you’re after anything more than a bite to eat. Was disappointed how small the menu was, because on Instagram they looked to have way more substantial dishes - unfortunately they don’t put up their menu online though

Honestly for what we spent on dinner, this was quite a let down. The food wasn't bad by any means but tasty and worth the money, definitely not. This was also partially reflected in the portion sizes. We had the oysters, anchovy toast, Jerusalem artichoke, halloumi, focaccia w/ tarama and finally the lamb shoulder. Nothing really stood out or 'hit' which is a bit contrary to what you see on the plate and in some instances, the name of dish itself. An example of this would be the focaccia, which is meant to be light / airy / crisp on the outside and not akin to standard bread. For the main, the lamb shoulder was a bit anticlimactic - it was soft and somewhat pull-apart but wasn't really seasoned or elevated, and was a bit plain for the main focus of the dish. However, the pickled celeriac and white beans were a welcome addition. Aside from the food, the ambience was fantastic and is what you want from a venue like this, a bit of hole in the wall mixed with modernity. Service was prompt and attentive and could not fault it at all. Overall, great place for a drink, just not for a meal.

Beautiful! Seasonal produce, duck crispy skin and just melt in your mouth! Great wines and cocktail selection!The staff were all so lovely, definitely worth our trip to the moon !🌝🌚

Really nice wine bar with good selection of food and drinks. There were about 20 glasses of different wines, mostly from Australia and a few others ($15-20/glass). Food was better than expected and portions were decent. Friend and I had 3 glasses and 5 dishes between us and we were very very stuffed. Heirloom tomato tart, lamb chop & sausage and snapper crudo were standouts. Will be back!
