How we read reviews →Chef Thi Le's fire-driven Vietnamese-Lao tasting menu on Bridge Road, quietly Melbourne's finest.
An intimate, fire-lit dining room built around an open kitchen. reviewers call counter seats watching the chefs cook a highlight, with warm, personal service that runs noisier when full.
Open-fire cooking visible from counter seating, a chef's tasting menu that changes seasonally, a considered wine list built to pair with the food, and a private room for groups of six.
Chef Thi Le's menu draws on both her Vietnamese and Lao heritage, with several reviewers noting the kitchen has leaned further into Lao dishes and flavours in more recent visits.
Tasting menus run roughly $80-110 per person; most reviewers call it worth it for the flavour and execution, though a handful flag small portions and high prices on the à la carte side.
