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.

    Amazing food and portion. We were so full and have to takeaway. Overall , I love the dishes are made creatively with filo and asian fusion style. Staffs are very friendly and polite as well. It’s worth the price point.

    We ordered the Kare-kare on top of hashbrown but I couldn’t get the distinct taste of the authentic Kare-kare. Scallops were flavourful but the pandesal just didn’t really taste and feel like the authentic pandesal. It tastes like just a usual bun. Even the longganisa flavour in the calamari wasn’t a bang. Service was fast though and they were able to rectify a wrong bill that we’ve paid for.

    I was disappointed with the change in food quality from my last visit. I consider this restaurant as an innovative kitchen with high food quality but my experience this time did not confirm that.
