We’re excited about the second instalment of She at the Helm, the women-led dinner series that had a sold-out debut in May at Navi.

The event brings a six-course, narrative-driven feast to TAVERNA on August 20, in support of Dementia Australia.

Featuring, Michelle Elia of Cicciolina, Angie Giannakodakis from Taverna, Georgia Roberts, co-owner of Navi, chef Ana Cortes Garcia and Navi sommelier, Bonnie Spain, the dinner, titled Matriarch, will bring a more casual, communal evening described as a “familial feast of culture.”

Black garlic: delicious on the plate, slightly less popular when your whole house smells like it for weeks…

A truffle doesn’t ask to be complicated. It asks to be understood; its weight, its fragrance, how it changes week to week across the season. This conversation shapes every dish on the July menu.
We’re just past the halfway point of Truffle Month, and if anything, the kitchen’s relationship with this ingredient is only getting more interesting. There are still two weeks left to experience it — book via the link in profile.

Eight years ago, Navi opened its doors in Yarraville.

The menu has evolved, the team has grown, new voices have joined the kitchen and floor, but Julian’s intention has never changed. We cook with curiosity, we serve with care, and we are endlessly grateful for the people who come to the table.

Here’s to the next chapter.

What people say

Australian restaurants are known for their fine dining experiences and unique culinary creations. Restaurant Navi, located on Gamon Street in Melbourne, is a prime example of this. Owned and operated by Chef Julian Hills, this Australian restaurant offers a lounge bar and an exquisite menu that will take your taste buds on an adventure.

One of the standout features of Restaurant Navi is their selection of drinks. The 2021 Il Modo Greco is a fascinating amber wine made from Greco di Tufo sourced from Heathcote. It's fermented on skins in 800-litre Tuscan amphoras, resulting in succulent, tasty apple skins and dried herbal flavors with a sunshine-rich feel to the palate.

The food at Restaurant Navi is equally impressive. Their unique Potato Beignet with Smoked Eel cream, Native Thyme & Apple is a twist on a French/New Orleans classic that will leave you wanting more. The winter menu, which will be available in August, promises to be just as exciting as their celebration of truffles in July.

In addition to the delicious food and drinks, Restaurant Navi also boasts beautiful handcrafted ceramics made by Chef Julian himself. From curvaceous vases to intricate napkin rings, each piece has its own unique yet quintessentially Navi look and feel.

Overall, Restaurant Navi is a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional Australian dining experience. Walk-ins are welcome Wednesday through Friday starting at 5 pm and Saturday starting at 2 pm. Bookings are also available for those who want to secure their spot ahead of time. Don't miss out on the opportunity to indulge in the culinary delights offered by Restaurant Navi!
