If you're looking for shelter from the harsh Melbourne Winter, 'The Wolf & I', Windsor is the place to be. With high ceilings and exposed brick walls, light bulbs caged and hanging from the timber rafters; the ground floor of 'The Wolf & I', Windsor is reminiscent of a New York City Warehouse. Warm lighting and extremely good heating, make you feel instantly at home. Eclectic touches are everywhere, combining the best of Vintage and Contemporary decor and as I sat down at the large solid timber table, I couldn't help but look around and admire the attention to detail.
While the venue is best known for its beer and great atmosphere, I was absolutely blown away by the food. Sourced locally, the produce is fresh and delicious, the presentation is flawless and you could see the love and care that went into every dish. Madeline and Maddison (of Little Black Beau) joined myself and the creative duo behind events and marketing Prue and Caitlin, for a wine and a sharing plate, offering a selection of mouthwatering Modern Australian Cuisine. If it wasn't clear at the launch of 'WHITE.HORN' last week, 'The Wolf & I' is far from your average bar on Chapel Street. Without even a slight exaggeration, every dish we tried was superb. With a strong commitment to quality food at an affordable price, I was very impressed and had the pleasure of thanking Dan (the chef behind the fantastic menu) personally.
After an amazing meal & a cheeky glass of vino, we were taken upstairs to the newly refurbished Cocktail Lounge, where Natasha and Olivia showcased their Resort 14 'To be Free' Collection last week. With the high ceilings, deep teal walls, polished hard wood floors, decorative moldings and giant Chandeliers, walking through the Cocktail Lounge is almost like stepping back in time. Complete with it's very own library with ornamental fire place and mounted taxidermy Deer; the general consensus was similar to being a character inside of a 'Cluedo' game. Mysterious and alluring in it's nature, 'The Wolf & I', Windsor has a character all of it's own and is a perfect venue for a casual drink, romantic or social dinner and especially as a Fashion Event space.
As of this weekend, the Cocktail Lounge will be open to the public Friday and Saturday nights. During the week, the space is available for private functions, you can contact Caitlin at Caitlin@thewolfandiwindsor.com.au for booking information. They offer incredible catering, a private bar, full amenities and incredible service. The space is perfect for Fashion events and a little birdie tells me that there are some incredible events coming up soon, so watch this space!

Maddison, Madeline and I were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to shoot in the space, I would like to say a very big thank you to these lovely ladies, they took some incredible photographs. I've included venue photos, food porn, special offers from 'The Wolf & I' and quite a few outfit shots. They say a picture speaks a thousand words, so I'll let the amazing photography skills of Madeline @madelinelew1 and Maddison ://www.littleblackbeau.com/
tell the rest of the story..
