About Society:
Opening mid-2021, Society is Australia’s most anticipated restaurant opening. A creative partnership between Chris Lucas and acclaimed chef Martin Benn will see the launch of Society as a united vision for a dynamic restaurant with local sensibilities and international confidence. Grand yet intimate, Society has 180-degree views over Collins and Exhibitions Streets encompassing distinctly dining experiences – the Society dining room, customised private dining, the Lillian Terrace and a luxurious lounge bar with each space remaining independent in menu offerings. Situated at the centre of a globally recognised destination for fashion, the arts and commerce, combining international appeal with a distinctly Melbourne identity, the historic 80 Collins building will usher in a new era for LUCAS Restaurants.
