Dinner Returns to View Melbourne
From November 21, Woods Restaurant at View Melbourne returns to dinner service with a menu shaped by Australian producers and seasonal ingredients.
A Menu Grounded in Locality
Woods reopens with a clear focus: work with regional Australian ingredients and prepare familiar dishes with care. The menu draws from across the state—Parwan Prime beef and lamb, Port Phillip whole baby snapper, Spencer Gulf kingfish, Goulburn Valley suckling pig. Each ingredient is chosen for quality and proximity, sourced from producers who prioritise both.
The cooking is deliberate and restrained. Handmade rigatoni with spiced pork sausage ragu. Chicken breast schnitzel with herb salad and burnt caper butter. Ricotta gnocchi with tomato passata and bocconcini. These are grounded favourites, executed with proper technique and respect for the ingredient.
What to Expect
Begin with Boomer Bay oysters served with citrus mignonette, burrata paired with heirloom tomato, or Victorian Parwan Prime beef tartare. House-made country sourdough is baked daily and arrives warm with cultured butter.
The grill anchors the menu. Roasted Victorian Parwan Prime lamb rump comes with braised greens and mustard sauce. BBQ Port Phillip whole baby snapper is finished with pink peppercorn sauce. Angus steaks from the Riverina are cooked simply over flame. The approach is straightforward: quality ingredients, proper technique, minimal interference.
Who It’s For
Woods is a dining room within View Melbourne, designed for hotel guests seeking substance over convenience and locals who want Victorian produce and familiar dishes done well. This is food that reflects where it’s made, prepared by a kitchen that values locality and honest execution.
