Ruckers Hill is a love-letter to the Parisian Bistronomy movement, inspired by chef/owner David Murphy’s time in some of the country's best french kitchens.
A new French-style bistro and wine bar offering a seasonal menu, a five-course set menu and a vast selection of old-world wines, situated at the former location of Bar Nonno, where David had once been head chef.
The menu is broadly French with worldwide influences introduced using classic French cooking techniques, picked up from David’s time in some of the country’s most lauded French venues – including Bistro Thierry and PM24 with Philippe Mouchel.
The wine program focuses on old-world drops, a self-described "uncool wine list". Our sommelier is on hand to guide diners on everything from regionality and taste profiles, through to pronunciation and pairings. The interior is welcoming and cosy, with original features and exposed brick, making it perfectly suited to both special occasions and relaxed dinners.
Ruckers Hill is located at the base of Rucker’s Hill in Northcote, just a few steps from the Westgarth Cinema, making it the perfect pairing for a movie night.
