Menus
vinyls on the menu
Marmont’s ambiance reflects laid-back Californian glam, while the seafood-centric menu is inspired by Latin American flavours and the Filipino American heritage of head chef Mark Tagnipez (ex- Fonda and Supernormal).
You are sure to come across dishes like scallop tostadas, a pork pluma dish, and buttermilk fried chicken paired with pickled chilli and staying true to American cuisine, there's also an impressive burger served with zucchini pickles and seasoned fries.
Bring a party, chow down, and clink glasses as the sun sets behind the Yarra River.
