Madoljai

Madoljai is not quite like any other Thai restaurant in Melbourne. Found in a very sleek, cool venue on North Concourse in Beaumaris, Madoljai bring a touch of fine-dining elegance to the table, and their adherence to using only prime quality, fresh ingredients makes a marked point of difference from other Thai eateries in Beaumaris. The dishes are aesthetically pristine, but they taste even better than they look, whether you’re talking about spicy lamb cutlets, spicy aromatic lobster, papaya salad or char-grilled sweet corn for dessert. It’s a popular spot for instantly obvious reasons, so advance table bookings are strongly advised.

Set in the heart of Beaumaris’ beautiful Bayside area in Melbourne’s southeast, Madoljai brings exquisite Thai cuisine, first-class service and an exceptional location together on North Concourse. Madoljai has an elegant flair that makes it a sure-fire choice for romantic dinners, business lunches or just a memorable meal with family and friends. Taking inspiration largely from royal Thai cookery, Madoljai serves up beautifully presented dishes that showcase what can happen when superb seafood, top quality meat and fresh vegetables meet a masterful control of Thai spices, herbs, and cooking methods.

The enticing menu at Madoljai makes decisions difficult. To start, we can recommend the chu chee scallops topped with caviar, or the tossed Moreton Bay bug meat with lemongrass, tamarind and kaffir lime dressing; main course favourites include a northeastern Thai premium free-range Black Angus eye fillet steak with rice powder dressing, the mouthwatering braised free-range lamb shank or the fresh fish fillet of the day steamed in banana leaf; and Madoljai’s homemade ice cream and grilled lady finger bananas are a few reasons you’ll want to leave room for dessert. Madoljai is a well-known gem all around Melbourne, so rather than just turning up at North Concourse in Beaumaris and hoping for a table, we strongly suggest booking well in advance. Trust us, it’ll be a painful thing to catch sight and smell of Madoljai’s offerings and then be denied them.
