• Korean • Melbourne CBD
Guhng The Palace is a chic Korean Charcoal BBQ restaurant in the Melbourne CBD that specialises in the delicious flavours of charcoal barbecue. With a modern dining space and atmospheric interior on McKillip Street, this Melbourne eatery first opened in 2010 and has proven a city favourite ever since. Top-quality ingredients is what makes Guhng’s food so tasty and we’re a particular fan of their barbecue meat selection – Wagyu cube roll, Angus rip fillet, sweet soy sauce Black Angus beef ribs and spicy pork belly. Fresh seafood and vegetables are also on offer for charcoal grilling, as are a tempting range of tapas, noodles, salads and rice dishes. A leading Asian restaurant in the Melbourne CBD, Guhng The Palace is well worth a visit.

Vue de monde is a testament to the belief that dining can be a wondrous and unforgettable experience. The ever-changing chef’s menu pays homage to classical fine dining in a modern context by exploring the beauty of native Australian ingredients. While in the past the menu looked to Europe for inspiration, Executive Chef Hugh Allen continues to celebrate the unparalleled quality of home-grown produce with thoughtfully considered dishes committed to seasonality and locality. Vue de monde has been synonymous with Melbourne dining for almost 20 years, continuing to present an exciting and dynamic experience with a progression of flavours and sense of curiosity. The whimsical spirit at the heart of the Vue de monde menu has not been lost throughout the years, with the lighter-handed and more natural approach to cooking being no less infused with theatre.

    This was an exceptional experience. Everything had been thought out to the minute detail. We have been to many 3* Michelin restaurants in Europe and this restaurant equates to the best. The food was wonderful , the service second to none. The culinary theatre was spectacular. You felt the team worked like a well oiled machine. Everyone pitched in, down to the sommelier also waiting on table. You felt that this was a culinary family who were keen to ensure that every diner had the very best experience. This meal was a celebration of our 50 th wedding anniversary and the team were keen to acknowledge this. There were so many nice touches that there were too many to mention individually. The wine parings were super and the sommelier was helpful, well informed and above all enthusiastic about the wines he had on his list. This is a real gem one that Melbourne and Australia should be really proud of. We can not recommend it more highly.

    Very nice restaurant decor, excellent service and delicious food. Convenient location at the border of Chinatown. We had dinner that included Peking Duck, a pork appetizer and seafood main with fried rice. All cooked to perfection. Highly recommended. Dim sum is only served mid-day, so will return to try it out.
