Your new favorite

bar & tapas spot in St Kilda

A message from the Director
Nicolas Lucien Hinfray

Bonjour à tous!


First of all, thank you for the support you showed us during the renovations and right now after 2 weeks in! We are so happy to finally be open and do what we love the most: sharing the love of a good service, good food, good music, and fabulous drinks.

With Bistro Volière nearby, we envisioned a place where the entire Mediterranean and European community could unite on a simple but efficient menu. Everything is housemade and made fresh at Lucien.

This menu is evolutive, and will change/ evolve with the seasons.

And that is all's favorite dish Lucien has enjoyed here in Australia or overseas over the past 20 years.
