Town Mouse Melbourne

Town Mouse has been open a couple of years now and I first wrote about it in 2013.

Since then it has received a swath of awards and continues to deliver fantastic and innovative food, an excellent wine list and superb service.

This is a must visit to add to your schedule next time you are in Melbourne.

I am looking forward to Christian McCabe's next venture due to open later this year in the central city. A Wine Bar as yet unnamed.

This was then replaced and upgraded at regular intervals and included the Nokia 8110 and...
