Hi Lizzie, it is so easy to open and run a restaurant in Melbourne that it turns out that it is pointless to run an underground one. Zingara was a con.

My partner and I would love a recommendation, because we LOOOOOVE FOOD, wine, indulgence!!! An experience like this would be the ultimate INDULGENCE, so we would LOVE to be recommended for the fact that we don’t care about rules, we just want a night of PASSION for food and wine!!

RC, there really aren’t any underground restaurants to speak of in Australia such is the thriving restaurant scene.

I will be in AU, Sydney and Cairns for honeymoon Dec. Would like to take my sweetie to an underground restaurant. We love great food, atmosphere, adventure, and wine. Any help available. We realize it is by invitation only.

Now you are taunting me. hang around and read me and come to our underground experience (details hopefully coming soon) and maybe you’ll decide I’m worthy. i recently went to Simone’s which I think also leaves all those places for dead so it does sound exciting. Shave truffles at the table…speechless…

Hi Ed I would recommend, but I guess I dont really know you? I think the whole idea is to only recommend people you either really know, or really trust.. but hey, we can give it a shot!

I can tell you it leaves the likes of il baccaro, florentinos and every other snooty italian restaurant for dead.. they shaved truffles at the table for peets sake!! amazing stuff..

Penelope, I’m prepared to keep mum over the essential details for a referal. No associations with food standards, the tax office and still punk at heart.

I’ve been to Zingara & it is absolutely fabulous!! Al be it next to impossible to obtain a booking, seems as though their not in it for the exposure, but the passion. I guess their selectiveness comes down to skiting the law though? Risky business!
