Is it worth going out of your way for?

No. It's a practical, central-city choice for its location and setting, not a culinary destination. It fits best as part of a broader CBD evening near theatres or hotels.

City workers, theatre-goers, hotel guests, and anyone planning a convenient, polished night out in the CBD who values a rooftop setting and shared plates over a chef-focused experience.

What should you order?

Focus on the Eastern Mediterranean shared plates: house-baked pita, smoked eggplant, whole flounder from the grill, and the slow lamb shoulder.

Anything to know before you go?

It's on Level 12 of a Russell Street building—this is vertical CBD dining. The vibe is a chic, sun-drenched rooftop with communal tables, serving from breakfast through late-night drinks.

Cleo occupies the vertical city, on Level 12 of 130 Russell Street in Melbourne's CBD. This is city-centre dining built for a night out—close to theatres and hotels, better suited to a planned itinerary than a casual detour. The setting, convenience, and utility carry more weight than a chef-led program or awards trail. It belongs to a CBD category where the room's place in an evening's sequence matters as much as the plate. The menu offers modern Eastern Mediterranean shared plates like house-baked pita, smoked eggplant, grilled whole flounder, and slow lamb shoulder. It's a polished, sun-drenched rooftop space for a relaxed yet occasion-driven meal high above the street.
