Circa, the Prince has long been one of Melbourne's great drinking and dining institutions. Recently re-opening after a major refurbishment, Circa now has a new sense of laid-back luxury; where a relaxed, convivial aesthetic interplays with a versatile use of space, offering even more options to enjoy a range of food and wine experiences.

Owners John and Lisa van Haandel, in collaboration with local designers, artists and stylists have virtually turned Circa inside out to “deconstruct the dining experience”. With a new sense of laid-back luxe and a more relaxed convivial aesthetic, the versatile use of space offers more drinking and dining options in the bar, courtyard and new private dining rooms.

With the new mood comes a new menu by head chef, Matt Wilkinson, expanding traditional entrée, main and dessert to small plates and shared plates. Wilkinson’s elegant, innovative dishes feature hard-to-find high quality produce, beautiful rare breeds and organic heirlooms – the best of the season’s bounty. Add a lush working kitchen garden and a world-class wine list that’s lauded and awarded, and you have Circa, today.
