Where relaxed beers meet champagne cheers. Rooftop drinks, Mediterranean bites and spaces for every occasion. Instagram : LAZEPPA_
One of the best inner city bars to indulge in great food & wine around the fireplace
La Zeppa is situated at 33 Drake St Freeman's Bay, directly behind Victoria park market. La Zeppa has the feel of a New York industrial warehouse which has been lovingly transformed into a spacious bar set with wrought iron candelabras, dim lighting on soft brick and a large open fireplace. The music is mastered by local DJs at the weekends; they ensure it is played for their customers each evening, not themselves. La Zeppa focuses on the fact that people want to enjoy each others company with a great glass of wine and tasty plates, without the constraints of having to book or have a meal at a certain time - it is the ultimate meeting place - a catch up over a glass of wine, a sit down meal or a function for a large group of friends or colleagues. When you are at La Zeppa anywhere you rest your elbow, your will receive great service, fantastic food, a great wine list and an atmosphere you won't forget.
Long lunches here have a habit of turning into sunset drinks on the sundeck.
La Zeppa is the kind of place you’ll want to stay a while.

Our new menu is here, and you’ll want to get a few people around the table for this one.
We’ve updated a few favourites and added a whole bunch of new dishes. Highlights include cacio e pepe potato gnocchi, hand cut pappardelle, bavette with bone marrow jus, pork chop with saffron orzo, saltimbocca with chicken thigh and spicy green falafel.
And take it from us, the burrata with Brussels sprouts and chilli crisp is a very good place to start.
