On this street you will find historic Italian restaurants but also newcomers like <a href=\"https:\/\/garfieldpizzeria.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Garfield Pizzeria<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/leonardospizzapalace.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leonardo\u2019s Pizza Palace<\/a>.

It gives the room a feeling of space which is quite lush this close to the city. A dark green couch runs along one wall and faces a small side table; there is also a camel-coloured slingback chair for lounging. The bathroom is petite but well designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Crowne-Plaza-Melbourne-Carlton-Dining-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Dining at Crowne Plaza Melbourne Carlton - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-53816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Crowne-Plaza-Melbourne-Carlton-Dining-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Crowne-Plaza-Melbourne-Carlton-Dining-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Crowne-Plaza-Melbourne-Carlton-Dining-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Crowne-Plaza-Melbourne-Carlton-Dining.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What\u2019s on the menu?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a bold move to serve Italian in Carlton, but Fico Restaurant and Bar draws directly from the suburb\u2019s connection with Europe\u2019s boot. Named after the Moreton Bay fig trees that frame Lincoln Square, the venue operates as an all-day trattoria with adjacent cocktail bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bar offers a lengthy martini menu (gin and vodka) packed with bespoke spirits like Melbourne Gin Company dry gin and Four Pillars Navy Strength; I start with a juniper-forward Poltergeist gin from Tasmania sitting at the bar before moving through to a window-side table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Executive Chef Patrick Chung, together with F&amp;B Manager Chris McNally, has created a a fun, sharing Italianate menu based around seasonal produce and a sense of occasion. The room is dimly lit, the darkness of the square at night adding to the mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A menu staple starter of kingfish crudo is punched up with smoked peppers and tangy green olives and grilled king prawns come drenched in spicy nduja butter; Spencer Gulf oysters switch things up by coming with crunchy chilli crisp. The 300-gram Bistecca arrives pink in a piquant peppercorn sauce and Queensland crab fettucine showcases the housemade pasta; chewy and al dente with plenty of sweet crustacean and fresh parsley. The dessert not to be missed is a <em>gueridon<\/em> (served tableside) <em>sgroppino<\/em>, a mix of lemon gelato, prosecco and limoncello prepared as you watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the facilities like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is plenty of conference and event space here \u2013 a high-level poker tournament is taking place while I am there and I barely notice. A lower-level gym also has all you need for a quick fitness visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/FICO_MAY2026_ARIANNALEGGIERO-182-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Bar cart service at Crowne Plaza Melbourne Carlton - Luxury Escapes\" class=\"wp-image-53817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/FICO_MAY2026_ARIANNALEGGIERO-182-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/FICO_MAY2026_ARIANNALEGGIERO-182-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/FICO_MAY2026_ARIANNALEGGIERO-182-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/FICO_MAY2026_ARIANNALEGGIERO-182.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What sets Crowne Plaza Melbourne Carlton apart?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlton now has a world-class hotel brand that allows travellers to briefly reside in one of the city\u2019s most vibrant neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who will love Crowne Plaza Melbourne Carlton?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business travellers who want the convenience of a city stay but the quiet of a neighbourhood hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI lux_offer_carousel\">\n\t\n\t<h3>Discover Melbourne<\/h3>\t\n\t<section class=\"splide lux_offer_carousel_feed\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: Discover Melbourne\">\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__arrows\">\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><\/button>\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<div class=\"splide__track\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__list\">\n\t\t\t\n<div id=\"offer_006RF00000XCauLYAT\" class=\"splide__slide offer_item type_hotel cacheid_cac09cd05eef9b8c283669fc546dc9d3\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/offer\/hyatt-centric-melbourne-victoria-australia-aug-26\/006RF00000XCauLYAT\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"offer Flash carousel LuxPlus   \" data-name=\"Hyatt Centric Melbourne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\">\t<div class=\"offer_preview\">\n\t\t<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/i2m5vfiirckgptswzloa.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_250\/i2m5vfiirckgptswzloa.webp 250w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_400\/i2m5vfiirckgptswzloa.webp 400w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_600\/i2m5vfiirckgptswzloa.webp 600w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_800\/i2m5vfiirckgptswzloa.webp 800w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/i2m5vfiirckgptswzloa.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 250px, 250px\" alt=\"Hyatt Centric Melbourne, Melbourne, Victoria\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><\/figure>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"offer_details\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tags\"><span class=\"new\">New<\/span><\/div><div class=\"location\"><i><\/i><span>Melbourne, Victoria<\/span><\/div><div class=\"name\">Hyatt Centric Melbourne<\/div><div class=\"tagline\">Melbourne CBD Escape with Daily Breakfast, A$50 Dining Credit &#038;
