Melba Cafe

We’ve been to Melba on a couple occasions. It is quite pricey for the dinner menu but the food is nice. We particularly enjoyed the live cooking and sushi station which heightened the experience. The service was slightly on the slower side

First time set on my feet at Melba restaurant, I felt a warm ambience as well as warm greetings from the staff. I had reserved by the window seat for three, where I can see Yarra River and Southbank. The dining area is not big, compare to Conservatory restaurant in Crown. However, this is closer to the buffet station. I really enjoyed my lunch buffet experience here especially the grilled and seafood selection. Last but not least, we could take as many beautiful shots as we want in the iconic Langham hotel. Don't forget to check the pink phone box in the lobby as well as the pink cab in front of the entrance.

Great venue with a lovely river view. First time visiting here and found the staff friendly and helpful. The food was fantastic and incredibly varied. It was all fresh and also beautifully presented. Coffee was also great. Must say anywhere with a chocolate fountain gets my vote. DEFINATELY recommend you save your dollars and come for the buffet lunch.

Underwhelming, especially for the price you'd want the food to be stand out. The sushi staff seemed like they couldn't care less and did not talk at all. Eventually another chef came and made the food. Food wasn't refilled very often, had to ask for more ice cream/cold meats and cheese. The wait staff were inattentive, only offering 1 round of drinks before taking the drink menu away and not coming back to refill. $155pp for food, drinks $7 for basics and more for alcoholic.

I had the buffet breakfast and it was really good. It has the normal problems of a buffet such as waiting in lines, waiting for food to come out and temperatures not always being hot. But it has a great range of options to choose from including a traditional western breakfast, continental breakfast and Asia specific such as miso soup. It also has a salad and juice bar. Plus the staff are super friendly.

My buffet lunch at Melba restaurant was exquisite and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was my first time visiting Melba and the wide range of seafood and desserts along with many other food from across Australia made my experience ever so satisfactory. The freshness of the seafood was beyond my expectations. The sashimi just melted in my mouth, and the soup with a subtle hint of truffle tasted utterly delicious! The tiramisu and creme brulee were my absolute favourites. To top it off, a big thank you to the cheerful and attentive lady who served our table. sorry I didn’t get your name. Your genuine attitude to make sure we’re well taken care of and your sincere birthday wish to my husband really made our visit so memorable. Thank you

Loved it! Had my birthday lunch here and there is a variety of foods to choose from. The roast pork belly and lobster and the baby octopus yum! Also love how the dessert is in bite size pieces so you can choose more than one and the chocolate fountain

Came here on a Monday night dinner. I had the buffet while my partner who is celiac ordered from the ala carte menu as the buffet reasonably could make no guarantees about cross-contamination. Her roast lamb came out dry and lukewarm and had to be remade, and the gluten free bread was supermarket quality. Ala carte service was very slow. The portions were however very generous. As far as the buffet, a mixed bag. - Indian had fresh naan made right for you which was delightful. The curries were rather bland but the chutneys were excellent. - sashimi was sliced very inconsistently and unpleasantly thick and chewy - pork belly was perfect - other roasts were average if sightly dry - dim sum was excellent - oysters were well sized and pleasant - both the prawns and the lobster were overcooked to the point of being chalky - cheese and salad bar was competent as would be expected - dessert selection was excellent and the quality was surprisingly high The final frustration was the restaurant's blanket refusal to bag up the remainder of my partner's enormous ala carte not buffet dish for alleged "food safety" concerns, which is ridiculous given that this is absolutely standard literally anywhere. Overall, the experience and selection was nice, but for the price, I could not recommend it. The food quality is in no way commiserate with the price.

We went for office Christmas dinner, Loved the ambience, in the buffet you get variety of food for all the taste buds, must try-tasty mouth-watering Indian cuisine. My colleague has got some dietary requirements and they made dessert plate especially for her that too in no time she was very happy and so do we all were.. Great customer service from all the staff from entrance door to the dinner table making the experience luxurious..
