Oh Loretta Wine Bar

Best Known For

Hibachi-grilled octopus, nduja, agrodolce and squid ink aioli.

Born from a spirit of mateship and a labour of love, Oh Loretta Wine Bar on High Street in Northcote invites friends, family and perfect strangers to share food, wine and old-school vinyl. This good-times bar is for real people, run by real people and a funky spot to let your hair down with after-work drinks and bites from an ever-changing menu. Red leather banquette seating beckons as a resting place to savour a cocktail, as Oh Loretta keeps the latch on the liquor cabinet loose at all times; begin with pan-seared scallops, tostada and mojo rojo, or Moreton Bay bugs in a brioche roll with pickled qukes and yuzu mayo. For the main, devour plates such as confit duck, cauliflower purée, Dauphinoise and jus, with sides of kipfler potatoes and miso-roasted pumpkin.
