Soulsa
Extremely easy on the eye, Soulsa is one of Melville’s best restaurants, with double-height ceilings, lime-washed, careworn floorboards, an ethereal red tree mural on the wall and a mezzanine floor with views out over the street. Food is suitably creative, and all wines can be ordered by the glass.
