Say merry Christmas and thank you to your colleagues with a sunny slice of la bella vita! The new DOC restaurant in St Kilda offers an authentic Italian dining experience that's similar to the OG Carlton destinations, though this offering is far more extensive and seafood-driven. The luxurious space seats more than 100 diners – perfect for gathering your teammates together and celebrating the silly season in style. With beautiful blue views form the St Kilda foreshore, and crowdpleasing favourites like freshly made pizza, pasta and antipasti on the menu, this restaurant just sings sophisticated festive lunch. Will there be rivers of prosecco and Spritzes to keep the good vibes flowing? You bet!
We've (almost) made it! The end of the year is near, the silly season is upon us and you can practically smell the joy of the summer holidays. Before saying goodbye to your colleagues for a few sweet days or weeks of freedom, let your hair down together and celebrate getting through another year of the nine-to-five office grind with a Christmas party to remember.
By this time of the year though, you're bound to be hanging on by a thread, so we've done the hard work for you. Don't waste your last precious drops of energy scrambling to find a venue for your Christmas event, use our round-up below to find the perfect spot to have a glass of bubbly together, and perhaps share too much personal information. Hey, at least you've got the summer break to try and recover from any hangxiety-induced embarrassment!
