A Melbourne icon that never disappoints. It's more of a special event than a daily dinner, but whenever you're looking for variety and quality, this is where the Melba restaurant meets the brief.

The service was absolutely amazing. Our waitress made sure that everyone was fed and had enough drinks throughout the night. We even got a special congratulations cupcake as she had heard us congratulating each other for different exciting events that had occurred. This is the second time we have been to Melba and I can guarantee I will be back! Food is just so delicious 😍

Melba Restaurant provides an elegant and high quality presentation of an impressive range of diverse culinary delights. All staff perform their roles in a welcoming, attentive yet unobtrusive manner. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially to celebrate a special occasion. Thank you for an exceptional experience.

I was so disappointed. The food was cold, and we were ushered out after less than 90 minutes- leaving me to feed my baby a bottle in a chair in the lobby hallway. Considering it was High tea- I never even got a cup of tea or coffee.

This is the finest buffet in Melbourne. Italian, Japanese and Indian cuisine cooked right in front of you. Sushi and sashimi are sublime

A shadow of its glory days. Hot dishes were ok, but the desserts were so,so disappointing. Very bland and just no good. Creme brûlée had no crisp top and was gluggy.
