Exceptional(16)
$$$$
• Wine Bar • Geelong West
Booked 1 time today
Fantome Wine Bar and Restaurant is an absolute Geelong gem. Selfishly I don't want too many people to know about it so it remains 'our place', but in reality it needs to be experienced by all. The food is French-inspired and divine, with a range to suit all tastes. This is fine dining but with generous portions and fabulous prices. Owner Amber is the perfect host as she offers thoughtful notes to the very extensive drinks list (there is even a cocktail with camembert!), and sets about making every guest comfortable and happy. The crockery and stemware is just as eclectic and lush as the whole establishment's luxurious, central CBD setting. This place is through the roof with ambience! With such attention to detail from Amber and her team, you will experience comfortable periods between courses - there's no rushing to get you out the door here - creating the perfect opportunity to engage with fellow guests and the glorious drinks menu. We'll be back again... and again. Do it!

We enjoyed the evening with lovely Italian wines paired with our meal! Busy night but food was delicious! We ranged from pasta to pizza and all 8 of us loved it! Probably not the venue for our Bookclub but we will all return!

The food was absolutely incredible, with every dish explained by the fantastic staff, who were knowledgeable, passionate and happy to answer every question we had. The views overlooking the beautiful city of Melbourne were simply stunning, but what really made the experience special was the staff. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel genuinely welcome, It wasn’t just a meal; it was a whole experience. Outstanding food, incredible views and exceptional service. An experience we won’t forget!
