Open for lunch and dinner, ascend the narrow stairs and find yourself in a New York-style loft, bathed in natural light from large windows overlooking the bustling street below.This confident yet casual French bistro is the brainchild of veteran restaurateurs Joshua Brisbane, Con Christopoulos (renowned for The European, Siglo, and Melbourne Supper Club) and prolific chef Ian Curley and executive chef Luke Fraser.

At Lilac, we’ve transformed a historic warehouse into a warm, low-lit wine bar with loft-style charm and inviting character—think exposed brick, steel-framed windows, Persian rugs, and a cozy fireplace. It’s the kind of place where you can relax at plush velvet couches or gather around the back-lit bar for a drink and a bite. Our kitchen plays with wood-fire cooking, house-made charcuterie, and creative twists on nostalgic bistro favourites. From chicken-liver mousse éclairs to savoury “mince on toast,” every dish is made with seasonal, local, foraged, and fermented ingredients that speak to heart and flavour. Our beverage focus is just as thoughtfully crafted. We pour an array of biodynamic and minimal-intervention wines, alongside inventive cocktails that nod to tradition with unexpected ingredients. The aim is simple: quality, creativity, and joy in every glass.
