In the basement of the Wheeler Centre of Melbourne's State Library, the Moat is a great place to catch up on some light reading. The restaurant's Mediterranean menu borders Middle Eastern and is headed by Chef Emma Jeffery, while the bar carries a well-stocked selection of wines and boutique beers, perfect for savouring in the Astroturf courtyard outside. Who would have thought going to a library could be this enjoyable. Tucked beneath Melbourne's iconic State Library, The Moat is an intimate escape away from the city rush. Styled by Christo Gillard, with us you can enjoy worldly food and wine among 19th Century bluestone walls, our homely courtyard, and the timeless literature housed above.
