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.

  • Sonnen 2024 Vintage Release Lunch

    $99.00 per person

    Prepaid

    22 Jan 2025 only
    Join us for the release of Sonnen's 2024 Vintage. This special lunch will include 5 courses with matching wines. Sonnen is the brainchild of Luke Andree, a talented Tasmanian viticulturist also renowned for his work at Pressing Matters. His winemaking started in Victoria with Boomtown Cooperative, with stints at Oakridge, Mac Forbes, and even studying Riesling in Germany at Weingut Melsheimer. Luke started his own wine label in 2020 called Sonnen, a tribute to his German heritage, which means to bask in the sun. Luke's wines reflect his deep connection to Tasmania's vineyards, blending his detailed winemaking techniques with everything he's learned along the way. Due to the nature of this event, we are unable to cater to dietaries.

    Lovely food, brings back memories of home, filo food with a cool twist! I’d be nitpicking with this comment - the only area for improvement is attention to detail when it comes to execution of dining. For example, eating a lechon with rice on a small bowl was challenging. Or serving sharing plates without providing a serving spoon. Or giving us the bill without asking if we’re done earting (I was wanting to get another drink actually!) As a Filipino, these are things that are innnate to our everyday dining and hospitality and not to be missed! Otherwise, A+++++++ food experience. Salamat chef!
