OUR MENU
Where Exceptional Food Takes Centre Stage
Our internationally inspired modern Australian menu is carefully crafted by our Head Chef using premium ingredients and refined techniques. From indulgent seafood to beautifully prepared meats and handmade pastas, every plate is thoughtfully crafted to deliver a dining experience that feels both refined and memorable.
Start your evening with share plates like crispy salted calamari or three-cheese arancini, before moving into signature mains such as our Japanese Wagyu Scotch Fillet, Squid Ink Seafood Pasta, or Mediterranean grilled chicken.

Our skilled bartenders craft elegant cocktails with precision and creativity, bringing both flair and expertise to every drink they prepare. Alongside our cocktails, the menu features an extensive selection of wines, spirits and signature drinks designed to suit every taste and occasion — each thoughtfully chosen to complement the flavours of our cuisine and elevate your evening at The Advocate.
Enjoy favourites like the Earl of Balwyn, a refined gin cocktail infused with Earl Grey, or indulge in what many guests call one of the best espresso martinis in Melbourne.
