Queen of the South is located on High Street and serves a market-driven menu inspired by traditional Mexican recipes, complemented by a bold bar program grounded on a comprehensive selection of agave based spirits and signature cocktail recipes.
Melbourne food culture veteran and head chef Malcolm Williams (Senoritas, Rice Paper Scissors, Touché Hombre Melbourne & Bangkok) has developed a menu that ranges from delicious bite sized antojitos to larger sharing plates. William’s says “I’m aiming to introduce Melbourne to a more mature style of Mexican dining and move away from the mainstream taco and burrito street food culture”.
Queen Of The South’s menu is rooted in authentic Mexican cooking and techniques as expressed through specialty dishes such as the classic Mexican “Vasito de Elotes’ - sweet corn cup with chipotle mayo & queso fresco served street style in a cup, or the “Aguachile”- a market fresh ceviche with cucumber, habanero, red onion, radish & fresh lime. Larger sharing style options include dishes such as the “Albondigas” – spicy pork meatballs, pickled jalapenos, salsa nogada and salsa verde.
For those who are partial to Tequila, you will not be disappointed here. Modern cocktail classics include the Tommy’s Margarita, Michelada & Paloma, or try one of the signature recipes such as the “Cereza Sling” with Tromba Blanco tequila, Campari, Cherry Herring, raspberry, pineapple and lime.
Located on the ground floor of the Trilogi apartment building, Queen Of The South’s sleek cocktail-bar and dining room offers a sophisticated atmosphere suitable for groups from 2 to 195 for drinks, light snacks or a full ala-carte dining experience.
