First time dining at Attica, loved every minute of it. Love that it was able to accommodate a celiac (not all fine dining even at an equivalent price point do) wait staff very attentive and knowledgeable. Only regret is not remembering to take a photograph of the lasagna dish. If I had to offer a critique (really splitting hairs) it maybe had a bit too many other diners but 1) I dined on a Friday and 2) even so not enough that it impacted my enjoyment that I would not want to come again.

Venison-like Crocodile fillet, kangaroo meat, ants 🐜 deserts … all these ingredients are original from Australian and hard to find in other counties. Attica is the one must try in Melbourne for foodies and those curious about trying new types of dishes.

Just WOW! So so good…. My partner and I had the absolute pleasure of dining here last Friday evening. From the moment we walked in we felt very welcomed by all staff who were friendly, professional, informative and respectful. Obviously here for the food and the 14 course menu was absolutely on point and didn’t disappoint. Each of my dishes were recreated extremely well for my vegetarian partner and she loved them all. We also accompanied our degustation dishes with the non-alcohol drinks pairing option and it was very good. Think hand made tea / juices that are more like wine without the booze but even better. Even if you drink wine I’d recommend trying this option at least once. We also got a tour of the kitchen and met other staff who were all very friendly. Our evening lasted 4 hrs and we honestly could not fault the evening / food / experience in any way, and I’m a very particular / picky person so that says a lot. Thank you to all the staff at Attica. We will definitely be back!

After trying to get a table for a long time, my partner managed to get one for us for my birthday. We could not have had a better experience. The staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable and attentive. The food was amazing and lived up to everything I had heard. I would love to have a bag of the saltbush, while we love everything the stand out dishes were the lasagne and marron. While it is not a cheap dinner, it was definitely worth the price. I look forward to returning in the future.

What an unforgettable experience at @atticamelbourne. Every course felt like a love letter to Australian produce — delicate, deeply considered, and bursting with flavour. The way they hero local ingredients, especially those inspired by and honouring First Nations food traditions, is truly something special. The service was nothing short of impeccable — warm, intuitive, and deeply passionate. You can feel how much heart goes into every plate, every pairing, every story shared across the table. It’s more than just dining; it’s storytelling through food. A celebration of Australia — its land, its people, its spirit. Absolutely world-class.

Attica was a magical journey through some of the most magical ingredients our first nations brothers and sisters have been using for thousands of years to flavour their food. Attica is not gimmickey it is great food, incredible ingredients and pays homage to our traditional owners of this beautiful land in a whimsical and delicious way. Every dish meticulously crafted to amplify the quality of the ingredients. 10/10 food, service and ambience we had the most wonderful time and can't wait to come back.

Firstly the staff were super knowledgeable about all the elements of the food they were serving. Each bring their own unique character to the restaurant. Secondly the food was well balanced and attention to detail was exceptional. The whole meal was the most unique and memorable experience of my existence. I would truly recommend anyone who would like to experience their take on fine dining and a true food lover, artist would especially appreciate this opportunity. Lastly the ingredients they use focuses on traditional Indigenous Australian food that they have been using for centuries these foods I can almost guarantee 99% of Australians have not tried and I think it is important that we recognise our original ingredients and culture as this is a big part of our identity. I would highly recommend reading the Chef's Memoir: Use for Obsession as this will connect with what you're eating and understand of their story.

It was my first time visiting Attica, and the experience went far beyond my expectations. I chose to dine solo to celebrate my 30th birthday, and from the moment I arrived, the team made me feel genuinely welcome and deeply cared for. A special thank you to Daniela and Camila, whose warmth, attentiveness, and love for what they do truly stood out and made the evening even more meaningful. As for the food, it was an explosion of flavours, course after course. Every dish felt intentional, bold, and memorable. I completely fell in love with this place. The crocodile tartare, kangaroo steak, and the Australian vermouth cake were absolute highlights. Simply magical. Thank you, Attica, for making my 30th birthday such a beautiful and unforgettable experience.

My goodness. What an interesting experience. Was gifted this experience and it was lovely. Be prepared for ants in your food - dehydrated ants 😯 The creative menu leaves you shocked, slightly uncomfortable, and licking your plate for more. An homage to native Australian ingredients, this is a quirky restaurant for sure. Be prepared to be there for 4+ hours.

Appreciate Attica for squeezing in a table for us on a Saturday evening. We had a wonderful time enjoying the various interesting ingredients curated. It’s one of an experience and would recommend anyone who is open to try. On the flip side, the restaurant could do with a better noise insulation- it was very loud and difficult to hold a conversation. The restaurant was also packed which makes it difficult to move around.
