An amazing, well balanced experience. I’m not usually a big fan of smoky flavors, but Yan won me over! The smokiness was perfectly nuanced and never overpowering. I loved that the menu specifies what each dish is smoked with. A must visit!

A really interesting menu. A la carte suits the smaller appetite. Confit duck cigars are fun tasty bites. Cold smoked king prawn comes with shell & delicate smokiness, and quaint towlettes for hand refresh. Kangaroo tartare flavour is boosted by beetroot bursts + more. Squid was largish very tender squares with a tasty but overpowering sauce, for the delicate mollusc. Friendly servers & sommelier. Great ambience.

An Unforgettable Celebration at Yan Melbourne We visited Yan Melbourne to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were welcomed into a warm, stylish atmosphere that set the tone for a special night. The food was incredible, beautifully presented, full of flavour, and thoughtfully balanced. Each dish felt like it had its own story, and everything we tried left a lasting impression. It’s rare to find a place where every plate becomes a favourite! A huge highlight was the service. The team at Yan went above and beyond, attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They helped make the birthday celebration feel personal and memorable, and we truly appreciated every detail. Yan Melbourne has easily become one of our top dining experiences in the city. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving great food in a stunning ambience, this is the perfect place to be. We can’t wait to come back! ✨ Highly recommended for anyone looking for a dining experience that feels premium in every way.

went for a double birthday dinner and was absolutely fantastic! from delicious cocktails to attentive service to thoughtful ambiance— has a great time. the short rib and ceviche were 10/10 dishes; ask the waitresses for explanations on the food bc it was all thoughtfully made! (coconut ice cream made to order rapidly with liquid nitrogen?!) great place for a special occasion

Great service at Yan! Food was unexpectedly so delicious and the venue decor was great. Really enjoyed the braised watermelon, kingfish sashimi,kohlrabi, grilled corn, king prawn and the giant coconut ice cream dessert! Mocktails were delicious too. Would definitely return back for more.
