Malin

If you’re dreaming of an intimate wedding celebration with exceptional food at its heart, Malin offers a refined yet welcoming setting in Carlton North. Set inside a beautifully restored 1880s heritage building overlooking Curtain Park, this light-filled restaurant blends historic character with modern European dining for couples who value atmosphere, detail, and an unforgettable guest experience.

Malin is designed for couples who want their wedding to feel relaxed, personal, and centred around shared moments at the table. With warm timber finishes, marble surfaces, and original architectural details, the space feels elegant without being formal. By day it’s bright and inviting, by night it shifts into a softly lit setting ideal for long dinners and heartfelt celebrations. Accessible entry ensures all guests feel comfortable from the moment they arrive.

Food is the true highlight at Malin. Menus are inspired by European flavours and shaped by the seasons, with each dish thoughtfully crafted to showcase creativity, balance, and quality ingredients. Weddings can be hosted in the main dining room or the private Saint Jacques dining room, with menu formats ranging from three to six courses. Beverage options include curated packages, tailored selections, or on-consumption service, all supported by a wine list that champions both emerging producers and timeless favourites.
