Andrew McConnell’s buzzy Gertrude Street wine bar is always hard-to-book – now it’s giving you access to members-only tables.

 

Walk past Marion on a sunny afternoon and you’ll reliably see the footpath tables packed with people enjoying wine and snacks. Later at night the brick-walled dining room is always busy. With Cumulus Inc and the nearby Builders Arms Hotel, it’s one of prolific restaurateur Andrew McConnell’s most approachable restaurants, and has one of the most impressive and comprehensive wine lists in Melbourne.

 

Our top picks on the menu often include the flatbread dipped in creamy fromage blanc; mussels served with ‘nduja, crispy fried bread and aioli; and the roast chicken with seasonal veggies and a side of fries. And we love discovering new orange and minimal-intervention wines on the ever-changing list.

 

Every day of the week, Cutler & Co. is giving us access to tables that have previously been unbookable by the public, and for the first time have been made available through Broadsheet Access. 

 

Get a table for two, every night at 6pm and 8.30pm.

 

You can book 30 days in advance (and a minimum of two days prior) of your desired booking date.

 

Members will dine on Cutler & Co.’s classic set menu.

 

Check out our other tables at Supernormal, Marion, Builders Arms Hotel, Cumulus Inc. and Gimlet.
