  • Fine dining

Red Emperor Chinese Restaurant has been serving up classic Chinese cuisine since the mid-1990s.

From daily yum cha to a wide variety of sumptuous banquets, Red Emperor offers fine Cantonese cuisine with dashes of flavour from Hong Kong and other mainland regions.

Specialities include fresh seafood picked live from the tanks; Peking or Sichuan smoked duck; and a ‘Dundee Selection’ featuring crocodile, kangaroo and venison.

With its spacious split-level dining area and floor to ceiling windows, there's al fresco dining on the terrace overlooking the Yarra River and private dining spaces are available.
