Circa The Prince
www.circa.com.au
2 Acland Street,
St Kilda, Victoria 3182
Phone 03 9536 1122
Circa, the Prince has recently undergone a beautiful transformation. Owners John and Lisa van Haandel, in collaboration with local designers, artists and stylists have virtually turned the space inside out to “deconstruct the dining experience”. Call it evolution. A new chapter, if you like. And now, with a new sense of laid-back luxe and a more relaxed convivial aesthetic, the versatile use of space offers more drinking and dining options.
With the new mood comes a new menu, expanding the offering to small plates and shared dishes in the bar and courtyard, and tailored to suit in the private dining rooms. Head Chef Matt Wilkinson’s elegant, innovative dishes feature hard-to-find high quality produce, beautiful rare breeds, and organic heirlooms – the best of the season’s bounty. Add a lush working kitchen garden to The Prince’s rooftop deck, and a world-class wine list that’s lauded and awarded, and you have Circa, today.
