I went for a weekday lunch by myself, being down from Sydney and managed to snake a bar stool at the marble bar in front of the kitchen. That was probably the best part, watching everything being prepared. I had an amazing curried pumpkin soup with deep fried chicken bit in it. Sounds strange but it was delicious. They offer... More

I've been to Cumulus Inc twice now and both times have been outstanding. The staff always have outstanding product knowledge and are so friendly!

Looks nice from outside and very nice setting but the menu is very limited and if you don't like ox tail or bull tounge then the rude waitress is not happy as she will make you wait for everything and basicly ignore you, very rude also, way over priced for its limited menu, stay away if you don't want to...

Went to Cumulus with a few food friends. A good place to meet in a relaxed environment still with high quality on the food. A bit pricy for the food but the atmosphere and service makes up for it.

This is not cheap by Melbourne standards, but we loved the food, ambience and service. If you like traditional meat and 3 veg or pasta, this is not for you. If you like funky food and are happy to pay try, this out.

Great atmospere. Menu heavily dominated by seafood and the wine was Melbourne prices, but the overall package is very good. Great atmosphere, comfy chairs, good service, quiet (not too noisy). That being said, we were there about 6pm on a Saturday night, so it might get louder!!

One of the 'in places' offering overpriced limited menu, cashing in on entrees at mini tapas servings at secondi prices with wine by glass prices above the market average, but I'm sure you're paying for the minimalist fitout. Like any cloud, cumulus is unlikely to last long in a competitive market by offering such lean offerings.

We have been going to Cumulus for quite a while now, and it never disappoints. Good food, good service, excellent cocktails. value for money. We have also tried the new upstairs wine bar and that too has some amazing food, decor, wines and cocktails. Would recommend it to everyone. Best duck waffles I have ever had

A unique range of courses with every consecutive bite more delicious than the previous. An absolute abundance of fresh and seasonal produce.
