Carnivores of the world rejoice! If you\re all about animal proteins Mediterraneo Charcoal Restaurant will be your New York cut slice of heaven. Here is a restaurant that knows what best to do with a choice lump of beastie - or seafood for that matter. I have thus far enjoyed three meals in this beautifully understated establishment on the easily accessible Bridport St, in leafy Albert Park. The first visit saw my dining companion and I facing up to a seafood platter that was as generous as it was delicious. A lovely touch was the complimentary basket of rustic bread and accompanying olives, oil and balsamic that arrived at the table first, putting paid to any delusion of sticking to a carb-free diet! We were so impressed with everything about the food and service that we didn\t hesitate to return again for dinner the very next night! My latest visit involved a Rib Eye from the specials menu that would have brought a tear to Fred Flintstone\s eye. Pricewise Mediterraneo is quite reasonable, servings are generous and the standard of services is beyond reproach. I can\t imagine coming to Melbourne and not dining there now. Word to the wise; if the restaurant owner offers you a glass of Slivovitz - RUN! That stuff is deadly.
