About the restaurant
Morena in Melbourne celebrates Latin American cuisine through bold ingredients and refined presentation. Spearheaded by Chef Alejandro Saravia, the menu offers innovative share plates such as prawn doughnuts with salsa criolla, venison tartare with cassava, and the signature papas y tres salsas – three preparations of potatoes served with flavour-packed sauces. Downstairs, the vibrant 'Barra' bar offers ceviche, empanadas, and pisco-based cocktails, while upstairs provides a more intimate dining space. Embracing the diversity of Latin cooking, Morena combines elegant technique with rustic inspiration in a setting that is both contemporary and deeply rooted in tradition.
