Just in: Melbourne’s favourite floating bar and restaurant Arbory Afloat is officially out of hibernation and has returned for its ninth season on the Yarra. This year's theme? An Italian beach club—specifically Capri.
The Isle of Capri, for those who haven’t had the pleasure, is filled with rocky cliffs, winding bougainvillaea perfumed cobblestone paths, lemon tree shaded restaurants, sparkling sapphire seas and beach coves dotted with colourful towels, umbrellas and deckchairs.
The food menu, surprise, surprise, is similarly themed with simplicity at its core. Afloat is serving up an uncomplicated menu of snackable Italian classics from pizza, pasta, antipasto, panino, daily crudo selections and seafood platters designed to share.
AFLOAT CAPRI
