Patsy's Melbourne

Amazing wine and food
This places ambience is on point!
Abit experience but worth it

Vegetarian Mediterranean wine bar on the edge of Melbourne CBD. The interior is nicely decorated and the wine list is extensive.
About half the menu is vegan, but is not marked on the menu.

A nice experience but overall extremely expensive for what you get. Likely why we were the only customers.

I came just for a glass of wine. The wine menu is not extensive but contains an interesting and delicious selection.
The food - vegetarian that is - sounds delicious too. Make sure when you get here to be hungry as well. I will be back to try the food.

I mean I like vegetarian food.but does vegetarian have to mean hungry?

Dropped in for dinner. I think I was probably under poured on the serving for my wine.my partner had a much larger glass than mine, and both were poured to the same height. Just saying, as it might have helped push this review up to a 3.

We shared two starters (mushroom pate and cheese puffs) and two mains (spatzle and the cheese/ leek pie). I think the only memorable dish we both enjoyed was the spatzle. Serving sizes are small.

Total - almost $70 a head incl a glass of wine each

And I was still hungry when we left. Photo of vego crisps I got from Woolies across the road on the way home ($3.60)

Would probably only come back for happy hour.

Wow! What an amazing experience we had tonight at Patsys! The food was incredible. The staff were extraordinary. The head chef Dallas gave the most beautiful, details and history of each dish that really made our whole night. Everything was 10/10! Highly recommend this restaurant, would definitely go back!

Lovely vegetarian restaurant that offers very original dishes and great cocktails. Our waitress was very friendly and approachable.

Charming restaurant and bar serving Northern Mediterranean (think Corsican Spanish/French fusion) cuisine that happens not to have meat. Lovely wine and cocktail list. Delicious food. I’m an omnivore, but I did not miss the meat. Highly recommended.

One of the best vegan restaurants I have ever tried. So many different options in menu. On top of that, serving size is pretty decent. Would love to visit again.

Patsy has some of the best vegetarian meals I have ever eaten. Onions, spinach, and mushrooms never tasted so good. They also have a wonderful array of great wines and drinks to go with it. The service was fast, friendly, and helpful. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I look forward to visiting again.

Amazing place, decor and ambiance! I was surprised that everything was vegetarian, surprised in a good way because everything was delicious. They have a great variety of wines too! Recommended

REVIEW:
My favourite from the entrees was the pate aux champignon!
With enough mushroom spread, the classic earthy flavour of the mushroom came through and combined with the crispy croutons - it was a fun snappy snack before the mains.
Although, I did hope for some of the dishes to be bigger, like the empanada which was priced at $32.00! ​

Inspired of a variety of dishes from France, Spain and Italy, Patsys breaks the mould by not having mock meat or pretending to be anything other than vegetarian. It really brings the ingredients to light in a really nice simplistic manner.
Service was friendly, with gorgeous plates and cutlery changed between the courses.

Location was on the edges of the city but still accessible! Patsys are fantastic because they catered really well to my vegan dietary friend, and made it easy for my vegetarian friend by being completely veg.

DECENT VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT OPPOSITE VICTORIA MARKET
Patsy's is a relatively new addition to Melbourne's vegetarian restaurant collection.
It is located in an old two storey terrace next to the Latrobe university building on Franklin Street.
The menu is structured around snacks, entrees mains and dessert and has a heavy focus on accompanying wines.
Snacks are probably the best option if you are there mainly to enjoy a glass or two of wine.
We were there for dinner and opted for a mix of snack items and mains - skipping the in-between entrees.
The snacks are quite creative and tapas-like.the mains are OK but small in size and pricey for what you get.
We had two sides (green beans and kipfler potato) which were also just OK.
Desserts were interesting - blue cheese icecream, potato and fruit gnocci, cheese board.
The bill came to $340 for the four of us (inclusive of wine).

The service was a bit patchy. A nice welcome to the restaurant but after that it was fairly perfunctory. We mentioned that it was our first visit and asked for advice on choosing from the menu.not much was offered there. A second waiter topped up our sparkling water with still water and then we were pretty much on our own after that. We tried in vain to wave down the waitress when our desserts were so delayed that we considered cancelling and leaving. We were sitting in the rear courtyard area - which I wouldn't recommend for two reasons - you tend to get forgotten by the wait staff and there is a large and noisy industrial exhaust system right next to you in the small courtyard - complete with an inexplicable dangling black plastic hose that pumps exhaust air at you!

Its a fairly new restaurant and its COVID times so I expect that the service will improve with time. The food itself is good so well worth trying it out.
People with mobility issues will be OK on the ground floor level but should be aware that the toilets are up a flight of stairs.
The Victoria Market (paid) carpark is right next to the restaurant and its also just a short walk to the trams on William Street.

The food here was delightful (highlight being the Beetroot sausage), and the wines were heavenly.

Not a place for casual dinners — visit if you have the time and money to relax, taste, and soak in the atmosphere.
