Father's Day at Little Black Pig & Sons
City Dining in the ’Burbs
Father’s Day has always been a special time for families. For those searching for a Father’s Day restaurant in Melbourne without heading into the CBD, consider this your invitation to experience city dining in the ’burbs.
On Sunday 6 September, David and the team are serving our four-course chef-selected sharing menu for lunch and dinner, built around the way we like to eat at Little Black Pig - changing menus, seasonal produce, handmade pasta and cucina povera - simple, generous cooking that lets produce speak for itself.

A menu made for sharing
Chef & Owner David Lakhi has created a four-course, chef-selected menu designed to be shared with friends and family.
Expect the hallmarks of a Little Black Pig menu: seasonal Victorian and Australian produce, handmade pasta, slow-cooked proteins, housemade breads and classic desserts, with everything made in-house and fortnightly menus.
It’s generous Italian dining grounded in cucina povera - a philosophy built on seasonality, resourcefulness and treating good ingredients with respect.

A Wine List built to eat with
Expect a food-driven wine list with Italy at its heart, alongside a strong selection from Victoria and across Australia, with France appearing selectively.
Like the restaurant itself, our wine list brings together Italian classics, philosophy and technique with thoughtful Australian producers and minimal-intervention wines.
Our whites move from aromatic styles, including Sevenhill Riesling, Mitchell Harris Fumé Sauvignon Blanc and Alta Mora Etna Bianco, through to Soave, Pecorino, Chardonnay and serious white Burgundy.
The reds follow a similar progression, beginning with Pinot, Etna Rosso and Brackenwood Gamay/Pinot before moving through Tuscany and Abruzzo, Nebbiolo and Chianti, then into Shiraz, Rhône, Cabernet, Amarone, Aglianico and prestige Italian wines.
Our Australian Wines tell another story
Schwarz, Levantine Hill, Brackenwood, Mitchell Harris and Phaedrus are more than Australian additions to the list. They are producers with whom Little Black Pig has established relationships, or whose wines reflect our broader producer-led philosophy.
Schwarz features both by the glass and by the bottle, including the single-vineyard Schiller Shiraz. Levantine Hill is represented across Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Samantha’s Paddock and Botrytis, while Brackenwood appears among our lighter reds.
At the heart of the wine list is something we’re passionate about: reconnecting diners with the people behind what they’re drinking.
Father’s Day lunch and dinner in Heidelberg
Located in Heidelberg in Melbourne’s north-east, just around the corner from Heide Museum of Modern Art, Little Black Pig & Sons brings the polish of city dining to the suburbs.
We’ll be open for Father’s Day lunch and dinner, with every table enjoying our four-course chef-selected sharing menu.
We hope to see you there!
🖤 David, Emilia and the team at Little Black Pig & Sons
