Our second MIFF session was Maddie's Secret (a silly, hilarious pastiche that could only be drawn out to feature length by the mesmerising John Early) at Melbourne Central. We shared the movie and a quick meal beforehand with N, who introduced us to Dom's Social Club during MIFF a year earlier.
Dom's is the kind of place we didn't dare imagine existed on Swanston St - a wood-panelled wine bar with wood-fired pizzas and rooftop cocktails. With limited time, we focused on the truffle-scented mushroom ($32) and verdant snow pea ($30) pizzas and I successfully snuck in a plate of oven-roasted tomatoes dressed in ponzu with lavosh crackers ($18). Importantly, it was the showtime and not the restaurant causing the rush - this is somewhere comfortable, where we could have sat and talked much longer, and perhaps I could have tried the crème fraîche chocolate mousse.

Dom's has also received a positive review on Sweet & Sour Fork.

Accessibility: Dom's is located up a narrow flight of stairs, and we're not aware of a lift alternative. Furniture in the dining area is densely packed, regular height, with backed chairs and more stairs between split levels. We didn't visit the toilets.
