I love the food at Bluestone Restaurant. It's proven the test of time for me, with each visit as good, if not better, than the last. The food is extremely well-prepared, exciting, and each dish memorable. I'd heard plenty about the downstairs Lounge/Bar, hadn't been, so took my daughter there the other night - and had a wonderful time. Right off, we loved the space. It’s fun, stylish and different – and the food was amazing, both to her younger palate (she’s 20) and mine, which has been lucky enough to try some of the best food in and around Melbourne. We started with some succulent Turkish lamb kofta and a stunning dish of calamari lightly fried in a chick pea batter. Both has us going ‘Mmmm’, ‘Aaah’, and ‘Oh my God’ – and reaching over to have bits from each other’s plate. It’s seriously good food – flavours, textures, presentation – everything. We finished with a wood-fired pizza. I’d heard they’d won awards for their pizza and I can see why. The Bluestone Margherita was simple, with sweet, flavoursome cherry tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, and fresh basil. With quality ingredients prepared as well as this, simple is simply divine.
