About the venue
Slate Restaurant Bar declares its mission to be one of providing an escape (an oasis, if you will) for the lawyerly and business types slaving away in the CBD - if only for a meal’s worth of time. They’re doing a pretty good job; Slate’s a modern, comfortable and stylish inner-city location to have a drink, lunch, or dinner. The cuisine at Slate Restaurant is best described as European with a few Asian surprises and influences. With a head chef trained under Marco Pierre White, you’re in good hands in any case. Besides that, there’s a good selection of cocktails, and all of the requisite beers needed for a good post-work pint. Within its sophisticated walls, there are two dining rooms and three terraces. How do you get more terraces than dining rooms? We’re not sure, but they’ve done it. As a result, Slate is able to act as a function venue for groups ranging from one digit to about three hundred. The venue boasts a range of distinct zones to morph from a daytime lunch venue into an enticing atmosphere. Slate has the flexibility to create multiple breakout spaces, allowing for a fantastic hospitality experience. It is perfect for private functions like intimate dinners, birthday bashes, lunch parties, cocktail soirée gatherings and corporate events. Or if you're looking for a place for your next Friday night out, Slate is the place to be!
Slate Restaurant and Bar is just off the bottom end of Little Bourke Street, between William and King Streets (closer to William). Southern Cross is the closest train station.

Reviews for Slate Restaurant Bar
Kia Yang
Slate Restaurant Bar: --- Slate Restaurant Bar, located on level 1 of Goldsborough Village, is excellent. The staff is attentive and friendly, checking in on us multiple times to let us know the specials, take our orders, and ensure we were enjoying our meal. The $20 drinks and lunch combo is fantastic—I loved the cheeseburger, which was juicy and delicious, though quite filling. The ambiance is great, and the private area for functions is a nice touch. It's essential to reserve tables, as we noticed many reservation signs. We were fortunate to find a bar table out front. They also host trivia, which adds a fun element to the experience. The restaurant's hidden location is a gem, conveniently close to Flagstaff and Southern Cross train stations, as well as tram stops. Highly recommended!
Sandip Bhattacharya
The place is excellent, staff is attentive and friendly. They came to us thrice, once to let us know the specials for the day, to take down the orders and then to check if we are enjoying or not. :) the 20 dollar drinks cum lunch combo is really good. Loved the cheeseburger, it was so juicy and yummy.. Pretty heavy though. Ambience is quite good. Highly recommended.
Matthew McK
Great atmosphere and perfectly poured drinks. Would and do recommend.

We came here for a team lunch and most people already pre-ordered. I was a last minute addition but they took my order and the food arrived the same time as everyone else's, so I really appreciated that. My gnocchi with veal ragu was tasty but the gnocchi texture was like powdery marshmallow and quite distracting. My colleagues also rated their meals at 3 out of 5. Lively vibes to enjoy a meal and happy hour in modern but classy decor. Service was friendly but perhaps too efficient after we finished eating - one colleague joked maybe they've run out of crockery... There was also a 9 cent charge for pre-ordering, which in my opinion is a bit petty. Melbourne's gastronomic scene is highly competitive so this has room for improvement.

I went here with a group of about 15-20 for lunch on a Wednesday. They managed the group booking well, asked us to order ahead and brought out our food quickly once we arrived. I had the eggplant angolotti, which was alright. My friends didn't think their food was amazing, so I don't think we'll be going back. However, that might just be our taste. The restaurant itself had really good vibes, great service, and a nice outdoor rooftop area as well.
