Best European Restaurants in Elsternwick

We all ordered from the Special 2Course Lunch menu. The entrees Tuna Sashimi, Calamari and Croquettes were very good as were the Main courses of Salmon and Parmas . Service was very welcoming and we were well looked after.

This was the first time my husband and I had come for lunch (usually dine there in the evening) and the waiter explained everything well. My husband ordered a glass of wine but I asked for a cocktail that I've had before that wasn't on the drinks menu. No problem. The barman hadn't made it before but it was perfect (so he got to make two). The food is always great at Vivace and today was no different. Thanks again.

Christmas lunch - and what a scrumptious lunch the three of us had. The freshest, tastiest oysters, the most delicious thymey terribe, a generous charcuterie board, home made breads, and salmon tartare - sooo good. There was plenty of choice for all food preferences. Our mains of duck breast, beef fillet and scallops were all perfectly cooked and presented followed by an amuse bouche that was both tangy, sweet and very refreshing. Daughter and I opted for creme brulee which was perfect - not too rich or sweet, silky smooth with its glowing toffee crust. Husband had the apple and blueberry crumble which he declared to be “yummy”. All with friendly service. A lovely lovely team who gave up their Xmas day to provide a memorable meal and day for us. Thank you so much, and thank you to the chefs, kitchen crew - and to the awesome magician who provided great tricks and laughs.

Food exceptional Congrats to the chefs Service great Wine great

Great little wine bar away from the serious busyness of west end of Swan St. Extensive wine list, great outdoor area out the back and small but great selection of food. Service was brilliant. Will be back!
