Omnia has graduated from fleeting eatery to fully-fledged restaurant and bar, with the new venue slated to open its doors on the ground floor of the Capitol Grand this November 29, 2019. The European-style bistro will retain its star-studded line-up, including former Vue de monde and Eleven Madison Park chef Stephen Nairn and Kevin McSteen from Attica and Dinner by Heston on front of house.

Stephen Nairn has put together a classic European bistro menu that celebrates the best in local produce. Diners will be able to gorge on gougeres with chive cream and oyster mignonettes before working their way up to technically impressive plates, from steak tartare with smoked egg yolk to stuffed quail with pine mushrooms and whole flounder doused in brown butter with fresh lemon and capers. Other delicacies will be available to order from bespoke table-side trollies.

The wine list will consist of around 150 bottles, which will be sourced from artisan producers across the globe. Meanwhile, mixed drinks will revolve around botanical flavours, with light, floral tipples served alongside spicy, earthy drinks.

Omnia Bistro and Bar is located at Capitol Grand, 625 Chapel Street, South Yarra. It will open for lunch and dinner, Mon-Sun from 12pm-late from November 29, 2019. From December 7 it will open for breakfast from 7:30am-late. For more details or to book, head to omniabistro.com.au.
