I love everything about this place! The food is amazing, the combinations of flavours, colours and textures work perfectly well with the ambience and are a joy for the palate! Highly recommended: get all the share platters you can and leave some space for the Tiramisù, because it's next level!
The kingfish crudo, tuna tartare, lobster roll, seafood linguine and broccolini side are all winners, with our favourite being the kingfish crudo and its outstanding flavour. Infant friendly - room for a pram, plus there's a baby change table in one of the bathrooms.
This restaurant has been on my list for quite some time and I was so glad I finally visited!
Ascot food and wine is an intimate bistro style restaurant with a menu designed with such taste! The restaurant itself features gorgeous dark walls, booths and screams cozy (perfect for a cold wintery Melbourne night). It is definitely a perfect spot to dine with family and friends but also oozes romance for a special date night!
The food we had was sooo delicious!
🫶🏼 Foccacia with Stracciatella and Mortadella
💖 Frutti Di Mare
👏🏼 Gippsland Grass Fed Fillet Mignon with peppercorn sauce
🤌🏼 Sides: Burnt Carrots with smoked Eggplant and Honey Vinegar, Broccolini with fermented chilli, green garlic and blanched almonds and fries of course!
🤍 Desserts: Tiramisu and Salted Caramel Viennetta
My favourite of the night was the frutti di mare which was seriously the bestttt seafood pasta I have ever eaten- I will go back just to eat this all over again 😍. The stracciatella paired with the fresh focaccia was beautiful! The burnt carrots are a must as well as the broccolini! The tiramisu was also an 11/10 🤌🏼
The service we received was so warm and welcoming, we had ample time to enjoy our meal and a good gap between entree and main. The only downside was it was difficult to get the attention of wait staff after we had finished our mains in order to order dessert but that can absolutely be forgiven!
I cannot wait to revisit this gem and I’m so happy it is so close to home for me! 🤍

Ascot Food Store has been around for years, it was one of the first brunch spots I ever visited. However I still think it’s abit of hidden gem that many haven’t yet visited. Open from brunch right through to dinner, they offer a truely unique bistro experience, it has really grown from a cafe into a more sophisticated neighbourhood wine bar.
The menu I would probably describe as modern European, a small menu with few classics reimagined and executed impeccably. Everything is on the more expensive side but you absolutely are getting top quality and a generous serve.
The dish I didn’t think twice about ordering was the Ricotta Tortellini with King Prawns. I saw it on their Instagram and just had to have it. Let me tell you I think this was probably dish of the year for me. I’ve been thinking about it for weeks since I had it, I pray it never leaves the menu! It was so flavourful with the fermented chilli butter sauce and the pasta cooked Al Dente.
Every dish was perfection! The Steak was massive, perfectly cooked and rendered. I loved the broccoli so much with the chilli and peanuts I would’ve enjoyed it as a main, as were the carrots with the dip. Don’t skip dessert, they have a few delicious options.
The drinks were great and the service was so kind and attentive. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes, I would say this is now one of my favourite restaurants. Highly recommend.
Lovely mid week dinner with friends here. While the restaurant was full it felt as though we had it to ourselves as we sat in a booth seat. Waiter gave some recommendations and they were all spot on.
Started with the Kingfish and then shared mains of vodka pasta (the best dish) cauliflower XO, veal parm (with the mortadella) and fish.
What a wonderful place! The menu had me drooling before I even arrived for dinner. Sometimes this can be a bad thing, because it means I have such high expectations and would be bitterly disappointed if they weren't met! But Ascot Food & Wine pulled out the goods. The food was utterly lovely and the service was excellent.
The Kingfish, my god the Kingfish. Do yourself a favour and get the Kingfish ✌🏻
Food was amazing we shared the kingfish for entree and it was a fight to eat the last piece. Such a tasty refreshing dish. Prawns with ricotta ravioli for main. What an amazing dish. Nice glass of pinot to wash it all down. Highly recommend trying this place.
I loved everything about this place. From the service to the food and the atmosphere everything was perfect. The steak was the highlight of our experience and as well as the side dishes that we got. I highly recommend this place to go to. Good local restaurant with high-quality food
