We have been to cumulus on numerous occasions & they never fail to deliver. Highlights from my meal were the charcuterie board for starters (the ox tonge a surprise hit) & rum baba for desert. Wine & beer selection both great, only complaint would be that wines by the bottle a little over priced.

We arrived and went to the holding area and ordered a bottle of wine. We only had to wait about 10-15 mins and we were then seated at the bar. It is interesting to watch the dynamics in a well run establishment. I made a bit of a mess of the Wagyu bresaola - nearly dropped the lot on the... More

Good food but have to wait for a table and for service. Note to management - you need more staff! It was a stressful experience watching the staff. Not rushing back given all the other great places in Melbourne.

Another tapas/sharing type meal, that was a flavour explosion with every dish. Great staff, great food, and an excellent drinks menu. This place is trendy and great to experience, I recommend it to everyone. Dish of the day for me was the ginger steamed pudding with burnt butter ice cream and matched with a 20 year old Muscot, absolutely divine!

We had a business dinner for 23 in the private function room/gallery. A set menu that was more inline with a degustation menu, was absolutely fantastic.

Stopped by "Up" for a late night snack and drink. Great atmosphere - sitting at the bar gives you a great view of the chefs!! Quick service with a smile. Excellent food!! Check it out!

Interesting plates of food (two in particular - the anchovy on 'toast' and a waffle with foie gras) mesh with a nice choice of wine in a very stylish and comfy location. Only one table per night (for a big group) is offered for reservation so it pays to get in reasonably early. The wine list has a reasonable selection... More

Been here during a trip to Melbourne in March 2013 as a solo traveler. Got the last place available at the bar, the place was extremely packed, but so much fun with the open kitchen. The staff is very helpful, they know the menu by heart and can explain the little details of every food. Since I was alone, they... More

Cumulus Up is another bullseye for the Andrew McConnell juggernaut! Went to Cumulus Up for what I thought was a late dinner Friday night. Place still full, jovial and buzzing at 10.30 at night. Maitre'd friendly and able to accomodate us at the bar where we were able to watch the kitchen at work. Friendly efficient service, interesting wine list... More
