Lagoon Dining is the only Chinese-flavoured restaurant I keep returning to in Melbourne, and, it seems, never frequently enough. A steady and reliable menu that is regularly updated with tweaks and twists to stay fresh and exciting. Well thought-through beverage list. Stylish contemporary interior, quiet and unpretentiously elegant vibe. And, most importantly, the team behind it all is as charming as they are professional at everything they do.

Wow. Such amazing food, friendly staff, will be back for sure. Great for groups, and events too, as the upstairs area is perfect for function.

Lagoon Dining was incredible. Every dish was packed with flavour and perfectly balanced, and the whole menu felt thoughtful without being over the top. The service was warm and attentive, and the staff really knew the food and wine list well. The atmosphere is lively but still comfortable enough to have a proper conversation. Easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Melbourne. Highly recommend.

A really interesting mix of flavors—balanced, creative, and full of surprises without trying too hard. The food looks simple, but every bite packs a complex and satisfying punch. Service wasn’t the best, but the dessert totally stole the show! Also, we couldn’t help but notice the menu was loaded with tofu dishes—maybe it’s tofu season? Either way, it was a fun and tasty experience!

Perhaps one of the top 10 meals ever. An incredibly well put together feed me set menu. Every dish a standout. Flavours exploding everywhere but pairings for each stage so well thought out. Seriously impressive. 500ml Riesling Chardonnay 50:50 blend also fascinating and the whole thing unbelievably good value.
