Moominn

South Coast NSW


With tulips, checked tablecloths and greenery dangling from the ceiling, there's no more darling setting than Moominn. Along with a bluesy soundtrack, the wide-ranging wines and cocktails can be accompanied by globe-spanning tapas, which rotate monthly. Look out for the odd two-hour all-you-can-sip gatherings peddling various concoctions.
