Located on Level 3 of the Olympic Stand and inspired by the origins of the Olympic Games, 1956 pays tribute to Greece with a Mediterranean menu that showcases the finest local ingredients.
Designed for an intimate and immersive experience, the restaurant features a state-of-the-art open kitchen, custom grills and an imported rotisserie.
The menu highlights Victoria’s and Australia’s freshest seasonal seafood, sustainably farmed meats and vibrant seasonal vegetables—prepared simply and elevated with Mediterranean flavors.
Rooted in family, nostalgia and a love for exceptional Australian produce, 1956 offers a dining experience that is both refined and welcoming, bringing the best of the Mediterranean to MCC members.
