Attica, Australian fine dining in Ripponlea

Attica is an Australian fine dining restaurant located in Ripponlea, Melbourne, led by chef Ben Shewry.

Recognition and author cuisine

The site's description rates Attica as a world-class fine dining restaurant and notes that its approach has received awards.
