The Gothic Soul

‘The Gothic Soul’ is a sustainable Bar and Restaurant situation at the Abbotsford Covent, 1 St Heliers Street.

Sitting on Melbourne’s doorstep the Abbotsford Covent is a place where you can escape the busy CDB.

‘The Gothic Soul’ pays homage to The Convent’s history where inspiration is taken from the style of architecture.

The bar and restaurant design also incorporates mainly locally manufactured and recycled materials and furniture.

‘The Gothic Soul’ is a supplicated and contemporary venue that has a strong emphasis on sustainable design. Although a supplicated design, the mood of the restaurant is causal where all guests feel welcome.

The venue offers various types of dining experience including tapas, cheese and wine bar, casual seating, formal dining and private dining for functions which is sure to please all demographics. This setting offers for best experience for all guests with the finest quality of food and wine, where memorable moments are guaranteed.
