Taste

From Here by Mike A love letter to the land.

Nestled in the heart of Melbourne, From Here is a thoughtful celebration of the farms, wineries, and places that nourish our table—from just down the road to regions well beyond. Rooted in the raw beauty of nature, we embrace the wild—both in the landscapes that inspire us and the creativity that guides our kitchen. Our approach highlights ingredients grown, gathered, and crafted with care, capturing the untamed essence of each season.

Our menu gently guides you through Victoria’s rich landscape, with dishes that speak to their origins—each plate a narrative of place, season, and maker. This is sourcing as storytelling: honest, expressive, and deeply connected to the rhythms of nature.

Whether you're dropping in for a glass of low-intervention wine or staying to linger over a shared meal, From Here offers a grounded, welcoming space to slow down, connect, and savour the beauty of the land and the imagination behind every dish.
