Event Photography & Videography at Gimlet at Cavendish House, Melbourne

Gimlet occupies the ground floor and basement of the 1920s heritage Cavendish House on the corner of Flinders Lane and Russell Street in Melbourne's CBD. Opened in 2020 by restaurateur Andrew McConnell, it draws on the glamour of mid-century European dining rooms while remaining unmistakably Melbourne in its sensibility. The venue is split across four distinct spaces: a cocktail bar, a clothed-table restaurant, a 12-person private dining room, and a more relaxed lower-level area. The food is wood-fired and generous, the wine list is among the city's best, and caviar service is a fixture. Gimlet has earned recognition from the World's 50 Best Discovery programme and is rated at the very top end of Melbourne dining. For corporate event photography and videography in Melbourne, Gimlet offers a richly detailed setting: the heritage bones of Cavendish House, warm lighting, white tablecloths, and the kind of considered table styling that makes every wide-angle shot look considered. The private dining room, in particular, is ideal for both stills and motion: contained, beautifully lit, and intimate enough that genuine moments are impossible to miss whether captured in photography or film.
