Bar raising Cutler & Co

has reinstated the bar in its latest revamp and it’s a beauty. The L-shaped bar area hugs the open kitchen and feels both spacious and intimate. The bar menu includes several potential cult dishes – abalone katsu sandwich, doughnuts with salmon roe and sour cream, a seafood platter. Add the weighty C&C wine list and smart cocktails and you get a bar that’s a destination all of its own. Cutler & Co, 55-57 Gertrude St, Fitzroy, (03) 9419 4888
