About us
Private dining and cocktail gatherings above Little Collins Street
For exclusive restaurant dining, La Madonna welcomes up to 60 guests, with group bookings offered from eight. Our produce-led French-Italian cooking is shaped by seasonal ingredients, and group menus and wine pairings can be discussed with the team. The restaurant’s stone, timber and striking chandelier provide a distinctive backdrop to your meal.
La Madonna Bar accommodates up to 100 guests in moody, luxurious surrounds of marble, leather, ageing spirit barrels and comfortable lounges. For a smaller gathering, the semi-private Green Room offers up to 15 guests seated or 30 cocktail-style, with views over Little Collins Street and options for a private meal, drinks and canapés.
The Barrel Room is our most intimate setting, with a premium private-dining experience for six to eight guests. Begin with a barrel-aged Negroni and live decanting ritual, then enjoy a four-course seasonal menu with paired wines. The three-hour experience is currently offered at AUD 220 per person, including wine pairing.
Tell us about your preferred event format, dietary requirements and guest numbers so we can tailor the arrangements. Menus change with the season, and accommodation can be discussed at the hotel for guests extending their stay. Our restaurant and bar event spaces are separate from the hotel’s dedicated meeting rooms.

Reviews
Came here for my partner’s birthday dinner. We have Shawn looking after us for the evening. I have to say He went above and beyond in making us feel very taken care of. The food is amazing but is his customer service that made our night. Will definitely recommend this place for special occasions!!!!!
Sophisticated French-Italian restaurant with a lovely ambiance. Jacopo - Executive Chef, with fine French Michelin-star training, cooks your steak to perfection. Adriana - Sous Chef, has been selected to compete in the 2026 EXPOGAST Culinary World Cup in Luxembourg - and her desserts, especially her baked chocolate custard, is to die for. Romain, with his Jacaklope background and exquisite French taste, can recommend you any spirit, liquor or wine to pair with your food.
Dining at La Madonna was an absolute highlight from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and inviting decor set the tone for a memorable evening. The service was nothing short of exceptional. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming, offering spot-on recommendations without ever feeling intrusive. Courses arrived at a seamless pace, and our glasses were never left empty. The food, however, stole the show. Every dish was executed with incredible care and precision. The flavors were vibrant, layered, and balanced, showcasing top-tier ingredients cooked to perfection. The handmade pasta had that ideal al dente bite, the sauces were rich and authentic, and the dessert provided the perfect finishing touch. It is rare to find a spot where outstanding hospitality and culinary excellence align so effortlessly. La Madonna delivers on every front, and I cannot wait to return. Highly recommended.
Came here with a reservation for dinner and had the chef's selection menu which included the following: - Bread service; the restaurant incorporates both Italian and French cooking so two types of bread was served; focaccia with olive oil and French bread roll with butter. They were tasty and the staff also offered refills which was nice - Amuse-bouches; there were three bite-sized snacks. The foie gras terrine was a bit too rich for me, the sardine tartlet was nice and not fishy, and the bresaola puff pastry was my favourite out of the three - Scampi all'arrabbiata; the scampi was fresh and sweet, served in a spiced tomato consomme which packed some heat, and the caviar and foie added savouriness and richness to the dish - Tuna, basil, caviar; the bluefin tuna tartare was fresh and tasty with the rich caviar and the smooth earthy basil coulis - Turbot and peas; the grilled fish fillet was flaky and meaty paired with a nice savoury turbot jus and a side of fresh garden peas tartlet - Ravioli bordelaise; the dish has a striking green colour utilising tarragon for the ravioli, sauce and leaf-shaped tuile. The ravioli was nice and al dente with a rich savoury and buttery bone marrow and bordelaise filling - Tongue assoluto; there was a choice between the wagyu tongue and the dry-aged duck breast for the main course. I went with the wagyu tongue which was paired with a side of cavolo nero and guanciale jus which had a deep savoury taste. The tongue was fried, giving it a crusty exterior, and inside was tender with a shredded meat texture. It was a bit dry towards the end as there was not enough sauce - Negroni caviar; it is their house-made barrel-aged negroni caviar which had a jelly-like texture with a bittersweet citrus taste - Flan noir & passionfruit; dessert was a baked dark chocolate mousse which had a fudge brownie texture, balanced with a fruity and mildly tart passionfruit curd. It was pretty good but a little heavy on the chocolate with the additional aerated cocoa pieces on top Also ordered the lobster risotto from the ala carte menu. The risotto was creamy in a rich seafood bisque paired with sweet garden pea coulis. It was served with a whole lobster tail which was firm, springy and meaty, and was seared to give it a slight crispy crust. It was tasty but personally I preferred the lobster to be cooked a little softer. Overall enjoyed the chef's selection menu, favourites were the ravioli bordelaise, the tuna tartare, the turbot. Also the manager and staff were friendly, pacing of the meal was good and they explained the dishes well.
