When in search of a thirst quenching beverage or a trendy place to meet friends for tapas, be sure to drop by Blue Tongue Wine Bar on Ormond Road, Elwood. All walks of life are found mingling inside and out, pleased to be seen in this stylish venue with contrasting elements of matte black tiles and red brick, while alfresco diners are warmed by the licking flames of outdoor heaters. If a vast and varied wine, spirit, cider and beer selection doesn’t reel you in, then perhaps the words ‘espresso martini on tap’ will. Kick off with a tipple to whet your appetite before engaging in a flavour adventure, devouring black rice and scallop crackers with ceviche, chilli oil and coriander, or smoked raw beef, porcini and truffle dust with Parmesan custard, before a succulent steak from the grill.
