- FFrancoMelbourne •1 review5.0Dined on Jul 9, 2025My Partner and I visited Bottarga for dinner on Wednesday, 9 June, and left thoroughly impressed. We arrived at 6:15 p.m. and were warmly welcomed into a relaxed, thoughtfully curated atmosphere. Before our visit, we had informed the restaurant of some dietary requirements, and they were more than accommodating, restructuring the tasting menu to suit our needs. This attention to detail was something we genuinely appreciated. We started the evening with a drink. I had the Aged Negroni, which was beautifully balanced and full of character, while my partner enjoyed the Americano, which was equally well-crafted. From there, we opted for the full tasting experience. One standout dish was the potato focaccia: crispy, airy, and absolutely delicious. We also decided to add an extra course midway through, as we wanted to try the duck, which turned out to be a great decision. The team that night was compact but exceptional. The two staff members seamlessly took on the roles of sommelier, bartender, and server, guiding us through every course and wine match with care and knowledge. Even the chef made a brief visit to the table, which added a lovely personal touch. If I had one piece of feedback, it would be about the pacing. The experience was originally expected to last around two hours, but we left closer to 9:45, so it ended up being about three and a half hours. This was partly due to starting with drinks and adding an extra course, but also because there was quite a bit of time between courses. In hindsight, we found out that a faster-paced tasting experience was available upon request, which we didn’t know at the time. Next time, we’ll be sure to mention it. Overall, it was an excellent evening. The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all of a high standard, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bottarga. I’d definitely return; perhaps just with a clearer idea of how long I’d like the experience to run.More infoBottarga BrightonPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Brighton•4.9
