Flower Drum Restaurant

A Melbourne culinary institution, the Flower Drum in Chinatown is a fine-dining Cantonese restaurant, 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in signature dishes like peking duck and aromatic baked crab, and diners in the know ask for selections from the unpublished chefs’ menu.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 available for corporate functions and celebrations.
