Daphne

Midnight spaghetti and a martini club? Say less. From the team behind Etta, Daphne is the newest addition to Brunswick East’s buzzing scene. Restaurateur Hannah Green has transformed the former Bar Romantica into a slick, bistro-style public house that’s all about “a night out that won’t break the bank.” Think steak and pasta nights, $10 glasses of house vino ($50 for a 750ml carafe) and $15 martinis on Mondays, plus a Martini Club loyalty card—stamp 9 for your 10th martini free!

Head Chef Diana Desensi (Montalto, Saint George, Pt Leo Estate) has crafted a menu centered around a custom woodfire hearth, with standouts like grilled potato flatbread with mussels, fire-roasted half chook, Bloody Mary heirloom tomatoes and a bougie pig’s head hotdog with house-made BBQ sauce. On Fridays and Saturdays, stick around for the supper menu featuring late-night treats like midnight spaghetti and gelato with shoestring fries.
