The Ludlow Formation

Discover The Ludlow Formation at Southbank, spectacularly located on the banks of the Yarra. A grotto inspired, uniquely Melbourne drinking and dining destination featuring riverside barbecue and bar, cocktail lounge and restaurant. The contemporary design incorporates raw steel and stone, natural materials and recycled timber, brilliantly conceived to create a warm, inviting and humble ambience. Chef Marc Brown has created a menu influenced by Southern European cuisine, focused on shared grazing plates and featuring daily changing menu from the barbecue grill. The Ludlow Formation also has a diverse wine list, specialising in smaller local wineries, and the Cocktail list is not to be missed.
