Finding love in Altona

Married at First Sight romantic fever is catching on in Hobsons Bay as an Altona restaurant introduces its first Singles Mingle night in May.

The marriage between the reality television show’s fan favourites John Robertson and Melissa Walsh has put a spotlight on Altona.

A sticking point seems to be whether John is willing to move from the Altona area where everything he loves is within a five-minute drive.

That includes Mosaic restaurant in Pier Street, which is holding its first night just for singles on May 11.

Owner Donna Sagor said the night would have a “really relaxed atmosphere”.

“That’s what I want people to feel when they walk in,” she said. “I’m hoping that I’m going to create a beautiful relaxed atmosphere so when everyone walks into the beer garden, they’re just going to feel the warmth and how chilled out it is.

“It’s going to be just a nice classy evening in the beer garden, people having canapes and champagne.”

The lower age limit is 28 and there’s no upper limit.

Men and women will receive a complimentary drink on the night, which is by pre-booking only.
