New hospitality offerings to entice more visitors to market

One of Australia’s largest independent craft brewers, two specialty coffee roasters and a popular sushi outlet are set to draw visitors in their droves to the Munro development in the Queen Victoria Market precinct.

​Seven hospitality venues will open their doors at the City of Melbourne’s Munro development in the coming months, enhancing the market’s gourmet offerings and giving visitors even more reason to shop, dine and dwell in the precinct.

New venues include:

  • Brick Lane Market – a two-level immersive craft beer and hospitality experience by Melbourne independent brewer Brick Lane Brewing at the former Mercat Cross Hotel site, serving up a range of diverse beer styles alongside a food menu that highlights local, market-fresh produce.
  • ST. ALi & The Queen – Coffee & Cocktails – specialty coffee roasters ST. ALi will offer breakfast and lunch, before switching to cocktails in the evening.
  • Moonfishh – the popular Albert Park outlet will offer a full sensory sushi experience using fresh and seasonal market produce.
  • Market Lane Coffee – the much-loved specialty coffee roaster will open its third café in the market precinct, serving up high-quality coffee with a focus on sustainable sourcing and ethical practices.
  • Only Mine Chocolate – decadent, handmade delights will be the focus of the bespoke chocolatier’s first city location.

The operators will join wine bar and bottle shop, ReWine, which has already opened its doors in the Munro development. More detail on the remaining tenants will be revealed soon.

The $500 million Munro development will feature a community hub with a three-level library, a boutique hotel, affordable housing, build-to-rent residential apartments and 2500m² of new open space.

The development will add 1800m² of new retail and hospitality space to the city’s inner north, and will feature a diverse mix of businesses to reflect Melbourne’s world-renowned food, fashion and art scenes, while complementing the market’s unique offerings.
