Flower Drum Restaurant

  • Restaurant
  • Licensed

A Melbourne culinary institution, Flower Drum in Chinatown is a fine-dining Cantonese restaurant that has been feeding the city for more than 40 years.

Delicate flavours and seasonal produce combine in signature dishes like peking duck and aromatic baked crab, and diners in the know ask for selections from the unpublished chefs’ menu.

To sample several favourites, share the banquet menu at dinner or lunch and fight over the steamed dim sum, quail sang choi bao, Peking duck, steamed barramundi, crispy-skinned chicken and toffee apple with organic ice cream.

Bookings are essential, and private dining is also available.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection the Wurundjeri, Bunurong, Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wadawurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin have to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We are committed to our reconciliation journey, because at its heart, reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples, for the benefit of all Victorians.
