Escape the rush of the city at The Recreation in Fitzroy North. Channelling a refined rustic vibe where you will find exposed bricks lined with wooden shelves of wine bottles from all over the world, cheery bar staff and a menu that offers simplistic comfort. Pop by to the bistro where modern European style dishes range from light bites to hearty mains and elegant desserts. A takeaway bottle shop is also part of The Recreation where patrons can choose from a bespoke collection of beers, wines and spirits.
The Recreation bistro x bottleshop opened in late 2016 serving clean, fresh and delicious dishes that draw upon the charcoal burning grill that has been especially built for the venture. The drinks selection is available drink in or take away with a range of wines, beers and spirits from around the globe on offer. 'The Rec' is able to accommodate those in need of a quick coffee, refreshing drink or meal. We also allow BYO wine with a corkage charge for those looking to bring a special bottle.
