After making us wait for months, Clint and his team finally opened up what is the best spot for wine and pizza in North Melbourne. The wine list is great, without being obtuse and has a leaning to European drops.

The menu is edited, without limiting choice. The starters are brilliant for sharing, but the name of the game here are the most delicious pizzas this hungry local has tasted on this side of Ladro. If you can't imagine a mushroom pizza blowing your mind, well do yourself a favour. The ingredients are all top notch and each pizza is delicious in its simplicity.

Thank you for choosing our little village!

No doubt word of mouth will spread and you'll be filled with diners from all over town, but until that happens, I'll continue to enjoy my weekly Banter fix.

Queensberry Street is turning into the most interesting part of North Melbourne, thanks to All The King's Men, Beatrix, Twenty & Six Espresso, our new bookstore and now Banter.
