MELBOURNE + VICTORIA
New year, new adventures, and
Attica Summer Camp is truly living
this ethos. Ben Shewry’s ambitious
new al fresco dining project is inspired
by potluck dinners and the simple
joy of cooking over a campfire, and
will be heading to the Yarra Valley
for a five-month residency.
Back in the big smoke, Gum has
opened in Collingwood, delivering
punters ’70s vibes, well-made cocktails
and pies by Footscray’s Pie Thief.
St Kilda’s Little Prince Wine has also
opened, and is the final piece of the
puzzle for the long-standing corner
hotel. Pickett and Co’s latest site in
Little Collins Street sees its first outpost
in the top end of Melbourne’s CBD.RESTAURANT NEWS
