Half Acre Restaurant's natural-light filled atrium and ivy-covered courtyard was the perfect backdrop for Reebok to launch their limited-edition capsule, Reebok x ANINE BING featuring modern activewear for the contemporary woman's wardrobe.

The collection marries the aesthetic of varsity sportswear with modern detailing. Reebok decked out the space like a private trunk show which saw influencers and fashion stylists try and buy the exclusive first-look range.

A long leisurely lunch was put on for guests in front of the open kitchen, highlighting the warming wood-fired grill and oven. The custom menu completed with cocktails.

A spectacular birthday-carnival celebration on the Mornington Peninsula.

As dusk settled, guests were instantly transported back to their favourite carnival experiences. Carnival favourites of dodgem cars, games and food stalls serving nostalgic, crowd-friendly classics, cheeseburgers, hotdogs, and fries.

The barbecue station and salad spread provided the perfect feast to refuel after all the dancing and games. Our food & desire team roamed the carnival with customisable meatballs and an elevated fried chicken, finished with crème fraiche and caviar.

The kids enjoyed food and snacks from dusk till dawn. The next morning there was an energising breakfast of deluxe bagels, waffles, cereal and fruit.

Everyday of the year, Sacred Heart Mission dining hall welcomes adults of all ages and backgrounds who are experiencing homelessness, disadvantage, and social exclusion to a free meal, care and support.

Last week, our amazing chefs Damian (Culinary Director of and Ambassador of Sacred Heart Mission), Tim (Head Chef of ) and Dean Little (Head Chef of ), along with other renowned chefs, supported the Dine with Heart Gala Fundraising Dinner, raising funds to support the Sacred Heart Mission, and keep the Dining Hall doors open.

It costs Sacred Heart Mission over $1 Million every year to keep the doors of the dining hall open, and with more people experiencing poverty and disadvantage, the Dining Hall is needed now more than ever.

To make a donation to this worthy cause, head to https://www.sacredheartmission.org/.

Introducing Cityfields

“The new sibling to South Melbourne’s Half Acre is more ambitious and ritzy than anyone might have expected. Come for woodfired steaks and porchetta, big salads, a roving cake trolley and cocktails shaken six at a time in an elaborate hand-cranked machine with a connection to Singapore’s most iconic hotel.”
