Faro Bar + Restaurant
Art, eats, drinks
Bit of an experiment: a cavernous, light-drenched bar / restaurant built into the museum and suspended over the river.
Creative cuisine, James Turrell artworks close to hand, the possibility of someone playing an oud, extremely large windows, and so on. A la carte or four-course tasting menu for lunch; we take the wheel for dinner. Paired drinkies also available
Bookings recommended for lunch, required for dinner. Sample menu here. Email bookings@mona.net.au if you'd like a group booking of 7 or more people.

Faro is a dining experience that features art, live music, and performance. It’s loud, mostly harmless fun. You may be asked to help someone play a bass, but you're free to refuse.

Why can I only book 28 days in advance?
Why can I only book 28 days in advance?
Mona's a busy place—sometimes we need a restaurant at short notice to host a swank wine tasting or pie-eating competition—so our booking window needs to be a little shorter.
I have dietary requirements, can you accommodate?
