King & Godfree

King & Godfree has been operating as a grocery store since 1884 and has been in our family since 1955. Our grandfather, Carlo Valmorbida was one of Lygon Street’s Italian food pioneers, helping to introduce the likes of parmesan cheese, olive oil and pasta to the wider Australian community. Inspired by our heritage we’re continuing our nonno’s legacy by transforming one of Australia’s oldest grocery stores into a vibrant new multi-use precinct where locals can experience the best of Italian food, wine and culture, from catching up for coffee or a meal to shopping for delicious deli items and wine. The new King & Godfree will include a specialist deli and café, wine bar and bottle shop, cellar and basement bar, rooftop bar, restaurant and kitchen garden. Combining both operated and leased venues, we'll be reopening in a staggered manner early 2018.
