Enter a timeless scene at this South Yarra restaurant with Latin loved persuasions to revel amongst friends, siesta, or simply sit and pass the time. By day, stop by for a casual bite, coffee or fresh juice in the café. By night, stay for something a little more, a lively Latin bar and dining experience boasting a heavily vegan menu with vegetarian options.
Awarded One Hat by the prestigious Good Food Guide 2023, Lona Misa’s rebellious approach to vegan and vegetarian food is nothing less than a critically acclaimed masterpiece.
Bringing Lona Misa to life are hospitality legends and renowned Melbourne chefs Shannon Martinez of Smith & Daughters and Ian Curley of French Saloon, Kirk’s Wine Bar.
In the kitchen, yin meets yang; North meets South, oil meets vinegar. Vegan chef and author Martinez curates a heavily vegan menu offering vegetarian additions alongside Executive Chef Pamella Tomio. Lona Misa is a produce-led vegan restaurant, paying homage to Martinez’ Latin roots, and sees the duo collaborate as Creative Culinary Partners.
Martinez and Tomio oversee the menus across the vegan restaurant and bar, working closely with local farmers, providers and producers, to source all fresh ingredients.
