International Eats
Melbourne Eats: Attica / Ides
Attica
It’s a sentiment repeated time and time again: a restaurant must have “a sense of place” if it wants to make it on the world stage. Which is to say, it should reflect its surroundings, using local produce and themes while remaining informed by global ideas.

Ides
Ides is the first permanent restaurant by former Attica sous chef Peter Gunn. He ran IDES for three years as a monthly pop-up before putting down roots on Smith Street in March 2016. It’s a small, 36-seater; dimly lit, with widely spaced, grey-leather-topped tables. The walls are adorned with paintings by mid-century Australian artists.
