Though tucked away from the general public, eclectic laneway Fish Lane will be hard-pressed to fly under the radar with the addition of La Lune Wine Co in March. The specialty spot is scheduled to redefine Brisbane’s social dining from March, with inventive menus and paired drinks offered between the hours of 12pm – 12am.
The French-inspired space takes its name from the moon, a direct nod to owner Paul McGivern’s East Brisbane venue, The Wolfe. Against the backdrop of Brisbane nightlife, the symbols of the howling wolf and overhanging moon are set to craft new, enriching experiences for diners from all walks of life.
Not only does La Lune Wine Co benefit from Paul McGivern’s years at The Wolfe, Camp Hill’s Restaurant Rapide, and Hamilton’s Restaurant Manx, but will boast an impressive wine list designed to echo the refined flavours of French wine bars.
In addition to selections of cheeses and charcuterie, La Lune will offer diners an array of dishes crafted to engage the senses. These pioneering creations will work hand-in-hand with Paul McGivern’s vision of an interactive dining space, where staff members’ wealth of knowledge will inspire suggestions and discussions.
The six innovative dishes will be crafted and adapted for paired wines – served by the glass – and will stand alongside rustic raw plates of oysters, carpaccio, and house-made salumi. Lunchtime dining will underscore casual European fare with offerings of crusty baguettes, sliced serrano, and fresh cheese.
Set in South Brisbane’s centre, La Lune is perfectly poised to offer a break from the corporate workday, with lunch and coffees prefacing those post-work glasses of wine.
Classic French styling will beckon diners into a space fitted with warm timber, French tiles, and 103-year-old reclaimed oak taken from thechateaus and barns of France’s countryside. Small tables will welcome intimate experiences in lieu of impersonal, oversized dining rooms, with private dining available for special occasions.
