About The Advocate
Launching the second bespoke cocktail bar and restaurant in her collection, interior decorator and designer Jane Gorman delivers The Advocate to discerning Balwyn winers and diners. Located on Whitehorse Road, this venue embraces the traditional English architecture within the community and is inspired by Jane's youngest son Christian, who recently completed law school. Guests can expect chic elegance such as black velvet high-backed bar stools, dark walls, arched windows and subtle mood lighting setting a romantic ambience. Embark on a culinary journey with kingfish ceviche, lime dressing, red onion, chilli and chervil, or bresaola cigars, Parmesan and pistachio; then delve into mains of Porterhouse steak, mustard, horseradish, relish, jus and sides of duck fat potatoes and crispy salad.

Good Food and service . Classy place to go
Magical from the moment you step through the door....
A truly unique and beautifully designed venue, with fantastic use of space. Scrumptious meals coupled with designer cocktails, personalised and attentive service, and live music performances; perfectly suited for a romantic night out with your lover (or future love!), an elegant dinner party with friends and family, or the ideal venue for your next function. If there's something bad about the Advocate, I'm yet to discover it!
