An outstanding asset sale opportunity exists to secure the former IDES Melbourne premises, a fully fitted restaurant and bar venue positioned in the heart of Smith Street, Collingwood — one of Melbourne’s most recognised hospitality precincts.
Spanning both 90 and 92 Smith Street, the venue offers a substantial hospitality footprint with the flexibility to operate as one integrated restaurant and bar, or as two complementary business concepts. With more than 10 years of trading history as a recognised dining destination, the site provides an incoming operator with a proven location, excellent street exposure and strong foot traffic from the surrounding mix of restaurants, cafés, bars, retail businesses, residents and visitors.
The premises are offered with an impressive existing fit-out, including a quality commercial kitchen, large stone bar, dedicated wine room, private dining area and well-appointed dining spaces. Existing permits and liquor licence are in place, significantly reducing the time, cost and complexity normally associated with establishing a new hospitality venue.
This is a rare chance to launch a premium restaurant, wine bar, cocktail venue, modern bistro, chef-led dining concept or private function venue without the expense and delays of building from scratch. Offered at a fraction of the original fit-out cost, IDES Melbourne presents a cost-effective entry into one of Melbourne’s most desirable dining locations.
