Best South American Restaurants in Southbank

so yummy my friends and i loved it. highly recommend the sizzling brownie!

After the disappointment of our lunch being cancelled a few weeks back, we finally found time to come in for the express lunch - & it was very much worth it. We were both so impressed with the quality of the food for the price. Really delicious! And just to add to our enjoyment our wait person Maisie was absolutely delightful - attentive, knowledgeable & a pleasure to deal with. Also a shout out to Kieran who had followed up with me to ensure we rebooked. Thank you to the chef & staff - we’ll be back!

Absolutely loved our first experience at Bar Mercado! We went for the seven-course menu and every dish was fantastic — amazing flavours, great presentation and such a well-thought-out experience. The service was warm and attentive, and the extra dishes and dessert options were such a lovely touch. Everything genuinely exceeded our expectations. Congratulations to the team on one amazing year! 🎉 You’ve created something really special in the Melbourne CBD. Can’t wait to come back!
