Cognoscenti Food and Wine 

Cognoscenti is a cosy neighbourhood restaurant nestled in the Dandenong Ranges, 50 minutes from the CBD.

Dine with us and be treated to exquisite food and intimate service, while exploring our carefully curated selection of local and international wines. We are passionate about cooking with local, seasonal produce in our wood-fired oven; celebrating the simplicity of each ingredient.

Cognoscenti is our ‘raison d’être’. For us, it is the culmination of our passion for food and hospitality, built on the foundation of a lifelong friendship born 17,000 km away.
