'GRACE. IS FIERCELY LOCAL. BUT ITS WARM EMBRACE EXTENS TO ALL'
in 2026, grace. was awarded its first hat in the age good food guide. in 2027, we’ve held onto it, and earned a place among victoria’s 100 essential restaurants. not bad for a tiny 7.2-metre-wide restaurant on rutherglen’s main street.
it’s an honour we carry with enormous pride and gratitude, and a reminder of why we do what we do: championing our region, its remarkable producers, and the people who make it such a special place to eat, drink and gather.
set within a heritage building on the historic main street, grace. is a small bar + eatery serving seasonal, generous dishes designed for sharing.
'european, with a dash of melbourne', the menu shifts every few weeks, shaped by the best from regional growers and micro-farm suppliers.
our wine list features only victorian small producers, complemented by a proudly australian-led spirit collection. both evolve often, just like the food, so every visit to grace. feels a little different, and always worth lingering over.
online reservations open a month in advance.
