I came here to celebrate my birthday, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome and taken care of. Our waiter, Esteban, was amazing, attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel special. His service truly stood out and added a personal touch to the night. Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. We ordered a variety of small and large sharings, and everything was cook to perfection and beautifully presented. The beef skewer, in particular was the best I’ve ever tried, incredibly tender and packed with flavour. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to friends and family. Whether it’s for a celebration or just a great night out, this restaurant delivers on every level!

South Yarra

In case you haven't travelled with us before, let us introduce ourselves. We are a fine dining restaurant located in the heart of South Yarra.

We first opened our doors in 2016, when a then, 22-year-old Charlie Carrington, decided to create a restaurant that changed cuisine every few months. Dubbed the most "Ambitious Restaurant Opening" of the year, Atlas Dining quickly rose to cult status. Within a month, Charlie became the youngest Australian chef to be awarded a Chef's Hat.

Eight years on, and (now) 25 cuisines later, Atlas Dining continues to be one of the most unique restaurants around.

We offer affordable fine dining, but most importantly, an unforgettable experience that helps guests' tastebuds travel the world.

When Ross Magnaye and Shane Stafford started Serai, their vision was to create a restaurant that would fit perfectly in the heart of the Philippines. To replicate the spirit, vitality, passion and sense of fun, they knew Serai would become a home from home for our diners.

At our restaurant, right in the heart of Melbourne, you can watch the chefs prepare and fresh food daily in our open kitchen at the chef’s omakase table or relax in the restaurant and bar with a glass of our hand picked, vin naturel selections or signature cocktails.

Inspired by the dynamic Australian coastline, our menu is always on the move—fresh, seasonal, and never predictable. With Executive Chef Jarrod Walsh at the helm, Longshore serves ingredients from sea and land, creating plates that blend skill, creativity, and a steady stream of spontaneity.

It’s a place where no two days are the same. Every visit brings a new mix of energy, taste, and storytelling. Our vibe is laid- back but electric, with service that’s as thoughtful as it is unpretentious. Whether you’re here to grab a bite or stay for the night, Longshore is a space for discovery and connection.

This isn’t your usual hatted restaurant. We’re committed to keeping things real and sustainable, because the coast is more than just a destination—it’s a way of life. It’s where different flavours, ideas, and experiences find a place to belong. If you’re drawn to the unexpected, you belong at Longshore too.
