Tucked away in Little Bourke Street, they’ve turned homemade pasta into an art form. It’s no lie that Melburnians love pasta, and Tipo 00 pasta bar definitely know their audience. It may be an early contender for the best restaurant in Melbourne but this one has dining institution written all over it. White jacketed waiters, and experienced floor staff guide you every step right through to the main event, straight from the grill a selection of high-grade steak cuts including an absolute showstopping Bistecca Alla Fiorentina. On the menu here, you’ll find an extensive range of starters or Primi plates, hand-made pasta like the saffron Taglioni with scampi and Bottarga which is minimal in serve, but absolutely maxing out in flavour. Inside leather booth seating and an expansive marble bar lead your eyes down to the end of the diner which has been purposefully curated to affect a very New York and Northern Italian- inspired bistro aesthetic. Perfectly set into the chic surroundings of Flinders Lane, the new Grill Americano is the eloquent bar and diner from Chris Lucas.
Dishes from the menu are kissed across the flames imbuing an irreplaceable smokiness and depth of flavour to standouts like the calamari which are grilled and then topped with a spicy nduja made from Longganisa (Filipino sausage). Now typically booked out a month in advance, Serai’s allure comes in many forms, but foremostly it’s the open fire that lights up the kitchen. The Filipino-fused flavours that Ross Magnaye and Shane Stafford have incorporated into Modern Australian cuisine have established the Race Club Laneway venue as one of the best restaurants in Melbourne. Serai, although relatively new, has made a major impact on Melbourne. Entree options like the raw Hiramasa kingfish with tamarind and spring onion oil is a fantastic first option, and their staple Banh Mi finger with whipped pate, chicken skin, and pickled cucumber is a clever interpretation of the lunchtime standard. Its sleek black painted exterior has little signage other than a single white sign that darts out from the building’s roof. Deciding which dishes to have here is no easy feat, each course is stacked with memorable combinations of French-inspired Vietnamese cooking. On the busy stretch of Swan Street, right on the corner of Lennox Street in Richmond, sits New Quarter. A newcomer to the area but anything but a newbie in the hospitality community, New Quarter is the most recent addition to the Commune Group (Hanoi Hannah, Tokyo Tina, Firebird).
