Food and Beverage
How do you capture Melbourne on a plate? With a mix of culture, creativity and plenty of flavour. Our food and beverage offerings showcase the best of the city, driven by curiosity, community, sustainability and a love for dishes that reflect Melbourne’s unique vibe.
Our Philosophy
Melbourne’s food scene is like the city itself: diverse, innovative and a little bit fabulous. Our chefs, driven by curiosity and a commitment to sustainability, create menus that reflect our deep love for this vibrant place. Alive with the seasons and bursting with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, our dishes cater to all tastes and dietary needs while being kind to the planet. At MCEC, we love pushing the boundaries of traditional dining, just like Melbourne itself.
Where Our Food Comes From
Our food is all about celebrating what makes Melbourne’s food scene so iconic: innovation, diversity and a deep commitment to sustainability. We work with local, seasonal ingredients and team up with organic, carbon neutral suppliers where possible. We minimise food waste, cut down on packaging and use renewable energy. Every dish supports our community and keeps our environmental footprint light.
