Layal

  • Restaurant
  • Casual dining

Layal is Crown Melbourne’s newest Middle Eastern-inspired escape. Bold flavours and fragrant aromas transport you to the heart of Arabia, with a menu designed around sharing – mezze plates, smokey grills, and dishes layered with authentic spices and fresh ingredients. Pair it with cocktails that take their cue from Middle Eastern traditions, infused with botanicals and a touch of intrigue in every sip.

When the mood calls for something extra, head to the balcony overlooking the Riverwalk and Melbourne’s sparkling skyline – the perfect spot to watch the sunset and linger late into the night.

At Layal, every moment invites you to relax, connect, and savour the experience.
