LUSH 2.0 Rooftop & Bar South Melbourne

The Mexican Parma at LUSH 2.0 Rooftop & Bar is a particular highlight, frequently praised for its deliciousness and the use of real chicken rather than compressed alternatives – a welcome change from typical offerings. However, some diners note that the house wine is underwhelming, advising visitors to opt for other beverages. This rooftop bar seems best suited for groups seeking relaxed, friendly service and tasty pub classics, particularly those appreciating a well-executed, non-fake Parma.
