Innovative

Melbourne's newest addition to its world-famous culinary scene, 40 Thieves & Co bring you a new, unique style of Middle-Eastern food in the heart of cosmopolitan St Kilda. Situated between the iconic Dog’s Bar and rum bar The Nelson is 40 Thieves & Co. This Middle Eastern cafe is magical addition to Acland Street - the vibrant dining space is comfortable and rustic, with intricate gold and bronze accents throughout.

Co-owners Michael Haddad and Chef Ali Shahverdi have created a special Middle Eastern retreat. The menu spans breakfast, a mezze of flatbreads with hummus, tomato and cucumber, to Moroccan beef wraps for lunch, slow roasted lamb shoulder for dinner, and saffron rice pudding with a coffee for a tasty late night snack.
