Grand Lafayette - Boronia

A popular modern Japanese restaurant among Melburnians and tourists alike, conveniently located at 9 Clifton St, Prahran. We had an absolutely amazing experience in this beautiful, spacious venue. Staff were super friendly and the food was simply luscious

Great Japanese brunch place. Had a couple baos, sushi, katsu curry and crinkle cut fries. Food was all great. I recommend the Katsu curry the most. Expect to spend around $25-30/person.

It was such an interesting place, good food, good vibe and friendly services. Oh where do we begin, all I can say is if you have not tried it yet when you are in Prahan; you must. Foods were delicious and fresh, it is more towards modern Japanese style cuisine. It’s really is and interesting place to dine, must try their crispy dango. This restaurant is massive, you could book In for many people and different occasions and functions. I would be definitely be coming back here again.

Save this for an incredibly authentic and delicious Japanese feast @grandlafayette where every item on the menu will satiate will taste buds and appetite for a meal here. The vibes are so grand and charming here, with a cozy ambiance and bright and spacious decor. The menu is very elaborate and they offer so many varieties of Japanese dishes. What we had here: Oyster Tempura, so perfectly crisp and juicy oyster inside, must try. Very yum. Baked Scallops, the most divine and tastiest baked scallops I’ve ever tried, very addictive and amazing entrée, strongly recommended. Takoyaki, soft, mushy octopus balls, so perfectly cooked, loved it a lot. Japanese Pankeki, the taste is very refreshing and crunchy rice pancakes went perfectly well with fish sashimi, tobiko, scallions and soy-yolk. A very unique yet a delectable Japanese dish. Chicken Katsu curry, such a satisfying Katsu curry, perfect for winter afternoon lunch, strongly recommended. Prawn fried rice, very flavourful and served with fish caviar and juicy prawns, must try. We also had a lychee and strawberry crush, both were very fresh and yummy to drink. We are definitely going back here soon to try all their awesome, Japanese food and drinks. The prices are bit steep, but then again you will only get great quality of food, quantity wise, it’s okay. The service is friendly and the team of staff here are all very helpful and welcoming in nature. So why not visit this week @grandlafayette to have a warm, comforting and mind blowing yummy Japanese feast with your friends/family.

We kicked off our meal by exploring the cocktail menu, opting for some creative drinks. One of them was served in a dramatic way, with the cocktail dripping from a pouch through a long tube into the glass—both fun and delicious, making for a memorable start to our dinner. Next, we delved into the diverse menu, ordering a variety of dishes from different sections. Instead of a traditional buffet, food is brought directly to your table. We enjoyed spicy fried tuna sushi, tempura eggplant, dumplings, chicken san choy bow, bao, fried tofu, and beef teriyaki. The dishes arrived quickly, and while the portions were on the smaller side, we appreciated the option to order as much as we wanted. For the two of us, it was more than enough food. Each dish was fresh and full of flavor, providing an excellent introduction to Japanese cuisine. The standout items for me included the spicy volcano sushi, which packed a punch; the fluffy bao buns; and the crispy tofu. Overall, the service was exceptional, and the bustling vibe added to the dining experience. Grand Lafayette is a fantastic place to enjoy a meal, and with its diverse flavors and textures, I can't wait to return and explore more of the delicious offerings on the menu.
