Flower Drum - Melbourne

Absolutely love the Peking duck!<br/ We had lunch last Friday with friends here<br/ Food is delish<br/ I can’t wait to come back! <br/

An iconic institution in the Melbourne food scene that has surpassed the test of time. Wasn't sure what to expect but imagined it might dish up exotic meals like those seen on Iron Chef. A little disappointed this wasn't the case as the menu was primarily Western-centric. The food was amazing and a super impressive wine list.

DO: Everything on the menu that you can afford. If you have no idea do the banquet or better yet, have a chat to the waiters and they 'll sort you out. <br/ <br/ DON 'T: Forget the wine list. <br/ <br/ TIP: There are a lot of 'off menu ' items. The Neil Perry crab Noodle is my fave. Ask the Waiters and say hello to the handsome Jason, the owner of Flower Drum

We had a wonderful birthday dinner here right before the restrictions came. The entrees were excellent and the scotch century egg and fried potato pear were the highlight of the night for me. We also tried the pearl meat (nice), honey ribs (tasty), e fu noodles (delicious), barramundi noodles (interesting, lo hon veggies (great), vegetarian 1000 leaf tofu (nice), chicken with moutai (slightly salty), special fried rice (tasty), baked chestnut pudding (delicious), milk pudding (so so) and deep fried ice cream. A special mention to the staff who were superb very attentive and considerate, the tea cup was never left empty. The price was also very reasonable. Thank you to the team for a brilliant evening, highly recommended!

I love this place. The food, the vibe. Just an amazing, iconic experience in itself.
