“Our guests are the heart and soul of Commune, and we are thrilled to bring back the ‘Dine & Cash’ promotion as a token of our appreciation. This initiative not only allows us to give back to the city we love but also encourages food enthusiasts to explore or re-discover the experiences our venues have to offer.

Winter can be a pretty miserable time in Melbourne, this is our way of sharing a little bit of food & fun sunshine with everyone.”
