The gold coloured interior of East Imperial.

East Imperial

  • Restaurant
  • Casual dining

Chinese antiques, paintings, calligraphy and embroidery set the scene for shared yum cha dining in serene surroundings at East Imperial in Carlton.

Dig into one of the chef's banquets and let them feed you food covering all kinds of flavours. Try peking duck, grilled barramundi fillets and lobster. There are many rice and noodle dishes and a separate vegetarian menu as well.

It's a great place for a business lunch or a family celebration.
