Society
Global Winner
Melbourne, Australia
Society is a dream realised. Seductive and nurturing in equal parts, restaurateur Chris Lucas’s vision to bring a sophisticated and global dining experience to Melbourne has manifested into a space of great beauty, comfort and breathtaking detail.
The service, articulate and intuitive, anticipates the guests’ needs. The unadulterated joy of the staff’s commitment to hospitality shines through from the swift placement of the linen napkin, the silver-served slices of sourdough bread to the just-shucked oysters, the hand-made lobster tortellini and a perfectly cooked fillet of Jack’s Creek tenderloin with fermented sugarloaf and black garlic.
The art of wine service at Society is a moving masterpiece. The cellar, of over 10000 bottles, including a collection of Château d’Yquem with vintages not seen anywhere else in the country, is carefully curated by a hand-picked team of wine professionals.
It includes an ever-changing wines-by-the-glass list with a Coravin selection that may offer the Fontaine Gagnard Criots-Batard-Montrachet Grand Cru 2017 or Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz 1997 in 75ml or 150ml glasses.
The globally trained wine team is constantly tasting, trying and talking to the global wine community to tap into the best of the best.
With precision insisted upon, a refined approach and international scope of Society, you could be anywhere in the world, but this is an innately Melbourne venue; refreshing, intelligent and constantly evolving.
This is indeed a vision realised. This is Society.
