Melba Restaurant - Food VIC

Brenton Laurie OGM we started with the popcorn chicken and it was amazing then shared a katsu curry and chicken pieces with honey soy chilli sauce and cheese and herbs my so. Said the best chicken he has ever had I would definitely recommend you trying this place

Paul Flanigan A perfect little gem in the heart of Melbourne. Always enjoy this bar from the choice of drinks and food available. But best is the vibe with the music and people watching on both sides of river. Let alone the traffic on the water. Great to find a spot as the sun sets and take up the sun rays. Staff are always happy and friendly

Aaron Coleman Our waitress Laurie was very kind. She Recommenced the coconut margarita. It was delicious. We had pork and steak tacos which were also delicious. Service was great and timely. I would be a regular if I lived near by.

Carol Hooper Lovely afternoon spent with my daughter and her Amercian partner on the Spirit of Melbourne. We did the brunch cruise. Food was lovely and plenty and plenty to drink. Staff were lovely. Lovely cruising down the Yarra River and seeing the sites. Would recommend.

Amilliah Saké Restaurant & Bar near Hamer Hall in Southbank is a lovely choice if you’re after refined Japanese cuisine in a quieter part of the city that’s perfect for a pre or post theatre meal or special night out. The restaurant has a calm, stylish ambience just down from the theatre precinct and close to the river, which makes it ideal for a relaxed dinner before a show. I went for dinner and enjoyed several tasty dishes and thoughtful small bites, the flavours were nice, and the menu blends modern and classic Japanese ingredients very well. It is on the pricier side, and portions lean toward small bite style rather than generous mains, so this feels more like a place to savour a few courses than fill up on one large plate. Drinks and cocktails are also premium priced, but the extensive drink list, including sake, cocktails and wine, paired well with the food. The beef tartare was nice with the raw egg in the middle. One really nice touch is that you can pay separately after your meal, which is helpful if you’re dining with a group and want individual bills.

Wendy Taylor My friend and I regularly head to Blondie before a show, and it’s always been easy and enjoyable. However our most recent visit was most wonderful! There’s a new menu and everything was absolutely delicious! The service was the perfect combination of attentive yet unrushed, and really friendly too! Such a great dinner. A huge thank you to the Blondie team, we’ll be back soon!!

NT Nobu at Crown delivers a refined and memorable dining experience that blends Japanese precision with contemporary Peruvian flair. The dishes are beautifully crafted, fresh, and full of layered flavour - from the signature black cod to the melt‑in‑your‑mouth wagyu sashimi and perfectly balanced sushi. Every plate feels thoughtful and elevated without being overcomplicated. Service is warm, professional, and attentive, making the whole experience smooth from start to finish. The ambience is sleek and elegant, perfect for a special night out, celebrations, or simply treating yourself to an exceptional meal. While it’s on the pricier side, the quality, presentation, and experience make it well worth it. For top‑tier Japanese‑fusion dining in Melbourne, Nobu at Crown is still one of the best

Christian DUMANGENG Vicky was one of the best server I have encountered. She first asked if everything was fine with our food and we responded yes but half way through my steak i had to ask her if they can do pan fry instead of grilled as mine was a bit charred resulting to bitterly taste. Maybe not my style for steak but the way she handled my request and how the restaurant took the food and replaced with a new one was commendable. Indeed they made sure the customer is happy with their food. Mind you the sauce on the steak was one of the most flavourful I got. Thank you for the great service!

Judah Ayling Cervo is a beautiful restaurant and has quickly become our favourite place to eat in the city. The setting is fantastic, with the option to dine indoors or outdoors. The last three times we’ve visited over the past couple of months we’ve chosen to sit outside, which is incredibly relaxing by the Yarra. Every meal we’ve had has been exceptional, with great flavours and presentation each time. The wait staff are brilliant—friendly, attentive and professional, which really adds to the experience. If you’re looking for a relaxed, high-quality place to eat in the city, Cervo is definitely worth visiting.

Anthony G An amazing meal, very good service, friendly and professional. Beautiful area showcasing their wines, all from Victoria! The pasta with the ricoota (that was so delicious inside and fresh) with nuts, burnt butter sauce hits the spot. The fish, perfection! Soft, buttery sauce and the vegetables with it added some sweetness. The Passion fruit & white chocolate cocktail is a dessert in a glass, perfectly paired and delicious. Be careful! Its easy to drink 2-3 without knowing and its not too sweet. The steak was also amazing. Definitely have the garlic with it, its soft and not too strong. I will return for more :) - graize. The staff have an amazing working dynamic that is friendly and supportive of each other!
