Drawing Room is a special place. Feels like a classy cafe that could easily be in an inner Melbourne suburb. Decor, food and service excellent done.

Important Update:

Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

We loved the fit out, staff were friendly. Disappointed that our meal sat on the pass for around 5 min, chips were cold and so was the gnocchi, there was no heat light. Food lacked seasoning and flavour, feel a little let down as we had high expectations, $75 for two people for lunch fine dining is totally ok if the experience had met expectations.

The food is always great with amazing flavours & variety. Staff are friendly & very helpful & accomodating. It would be helpful to be able to ring to make bookings as well as online platform. It can be a bit noisy but that can’t be avoided. Many thanks for this lovely venue.

It was a last minute decision to go to The Drawing Room today for lunch, the online booking was so simple, the service and meal were excellent. We were seated immediately and felt we were valued new diners. Our food arrived promptly. We ordered a steak sandwich, which when it arrived was exceptionally different and a delightful meal to remember. Nothing like we had had before. We can totally recommend The DRAWING ROOM to all those who want a delicious dining experience.
