About The Peacock Den
On Forest Road, The Basin, The Peacock Den is a striking wine and dining destination designed for relaxed indulgence in Melbourne’s outer east. Created from a passion for hospitality and fine wine, the venue pairs expertly curated bottles with simple, flavourful food made for sharing. Centred around the peacock motif, the space feels plush and inviting, with rich colours, chesterfield couches and a sense of quiet sophistication. The beverage list is a standout, offering everything from pre-dinner cocktails and craft beers to an extensive, sommelier-led wine selection stored and served with care. Designed to sip, share and linger, The Peacock Den invites guests to graze slowly, enjoy great company and truly treat themselves.

Elegant but friendly wine bar in the outer burbs
Wonderful atmosphere, small venue serving excellent wines and delicious food. Friendly staff and chef - we miss the venue but are still enjoying the yummy food as date night takeaways.
Pure heaven
If you ever need to unwind, escape from reality or celebrate something special all you need to do is walk in the warm doors of the Peacock Den and enjoy their heavenly menu with the spectacular wine list. Each menu item will transport you across the world from the pork bao which will take you to China or the saganaki that will take you to Greece all while somehow reminding you of this beautiful country is a unique experience that should not be missed
Always fresh and fabulous real food, catering for food intolerances.
