Rich history and contemporary bistro at this Fitzroy milieu
This landmark public house has definitely
made its mark on the culinary landscape of Fitzroy. The Builders Arms Hotel compliments
Chef Andrew McConnell’s Cutler & Co., a stone throw away on Gertrude Street
and adds to his growing restaurant empire that includes Cumulus Inc., and
Golden Fields.
Eat: The bistro delights with simple yet
contemporary mains. The slow cooked lamb
was well cooked and succulent. The extra
pastry encasing the fish pie served us well to soak up all the juices.

The side of chopped broccoli and
freekeh salad was a playful surprise. The textures were well thought out and proved complimentary to our mains.
The pear tart with vanilla bean
ice-cream rivalled the chocolate prune pudding, which was equally as good.
Drink: For something a bit different to sip
on, the Elderflower Fizz, was refreshing and denoted true flora flavours. There was also a great selection of both
domestic and international wines.
With the opening of Moon Under Water, the
new dinning venue next door, a return visit warranted.
