About the restaurant
It's perfect for
impressing a date without trying too hard - bonus points if they’re into natural wines and moody lighting
You need to try
their house Negroni — bold, balanced, and dangerously sippable
Look out for
the retro-meets-modern interior, with wood-panelled walls and amber-glow lighting that transports you somewhere sultry
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.
