The Rocket Society — Restaurant in Melbourne

📍The Rocket Society, Brunswick East - 3.8 ⭐️ out 5.

A wine bar serving barbecue mezze in East Brunswick village!

We had the: Hummus with mushroom shawarma ($18) and flatbread ($10) Barramundi wing (~$14 each)

I had never ever heard of a barramundi wing before and was extremely intrigued. I am so glad we had it, it was extremely tender, deliciously marinated, and the lime (which was charred!!! So fun) added a zingy tang to it. It was a little hard to eat but well worth the effort.

The hummus was also delicious (and HUGE - I had it for a few days following) and I loveddd it with the marinated and smokey mushroom.

The flatbread was beautifully toasted and had a great amount of oil with sesame seeds, yumm!

The wine list was stellar!

They also have a Lebanese sandwhich menu between 11am to 5pm which I am keen to try.

We sat outside on a chilly night and were generously given some fluffy blankets (loveee) but I think an outdoor heater or two would amplify the amount of comfort even more!

Overall 3.8...

What an absolute treasure!! Stumbled upon this stunning little space, immediately the atmosphere and music pulled us in. Drinks and food options are absolutely divine and perfect for a light but delicious and flavourful snack with a drink. Staff are next level, service feels like 5 star but with a comfortable and laid back atmosphere. The selection of records was the cherry on top. If I lived here I would make this my regular spot. If I could give 10...

Very disappointing experience due to the impoliteness of the manager. After having paid 120 $ for good but small and overpriced meals, and a not very warm welcome of the manager at the beginning, we are about to leave the venue when he asks “have you fixed the bill » alleging that we would just leave a restaurant without paying!! Vexing, rude and unprofessional. We certainly will not come back...
