Flower Drum

Cantonese   |   Victoria, Australia

A Melbourne institution that continues to define Cantonese fine-dining in Australia

 

Tucked away down Market Lane in Melbourne, Flower Drum is a historic dining destination specialising in Cantonese fine dining. The menu is distinctively Cantonese, where each dish is crafted with classic technique and quality Australian produce, and familiar recipes are presented with an elevated touch. The grand dining room exudes old-world elegance, where red silk panels, classical artwork and spacious tables set the stage for the refined plates to come. 

Tatler Tip

Grab a drink from the bar, which serves a menu of bites crafted from the kitchen and cocktails that teeter on the friskier side.
