| Seamlessly meshing European elegance together with Melbourne style, the Waldorf Diner is a chic restaurant and bar sensation suavely sequestered in the St Kilda dining scene. Set in a refurbished Federation building, the atmosphere is modern European with a classic edge, established by the old-fashioned furniture and artworks scattered about this two-level diner.
The warm and intimate vibe is maintained with a share-plate menu that lets diners keenly gather around plates of kingfish carpaccio with capers and saffron sauce; duck and porcini mushroom sausages with celeriac puree; and lamb shank with pearl barley and currant risotto. The Waldorf's list of cocktails, wines, spirits and beers should make it easy to find the right accompaniment. If you're dropping by during the day, the breakfasts, coffees and juices are worth a try.
