The late sitting gives you more time to return from Albert Park, while a lunch on a non-race day pairs naturally with a city afternoon. Sunday dinner is available, with an earlier closing time than the rest of the week.\n\nThe current Spring Tasting Menu costs A$175 per person for five courses; the Signature Banquet costs A$300 for six courses.

Anthony Lui’s cooking and the restaurant’s long history make it an occasion to plan around, whether you choose dishes à la carte or reserve a multi-course dinner menu. Peking duck is part of its established repertoire; ask what is available on your date.\n\nFor parties of up to four, an early 18:00 dinner finishes at 19:30; the later sitting starts at 20:00. The late sitting gives you more time to return from Albert Park, while a lunch on a non-race day pairs naturally with a city afternoon. Sunday dinner is available, with an earlier closing time than the rest of the week.\n\nThe current Spring Tasting Menu costs A$175 per person for five courses; the Signature Banquet costs A$300 for six courses. These are different choices, with drinks extra. Book online within the restaurant’s 12-week window, or call for a date further ahead or within the next 24 hours.

Cantonese Chinese Dinner · food only\n\nFlower Drum brings Cantonese dining to Market Lane in Melbourne’s Chinatown. Anthony Lui’s cooking and the restaurant’s long history make it an occasion to plan around, whether you choose dishes à la carte or reserve a multi-course dinner menu. Peking duck is part of its established repertoire; ask what is available on your date.\n\nFor parties of up to four, an early 18:00 dinner finishes at 19:30; the later sitting starts at 20:00. The late sitting gives you more time to return from Albert Park, while a lunch on a non-race day pairs naturally with a city afternoon. Sunday dinner is available, with an earlier closing time than the rest of the week.\n\nThe current Spring Tasting Menu costs A$175 per person for five courses; the Signature Banquet costs A$300 for six courses. These are different choices, with drinks extra. Book online within the restaurant’s 12-week window, or call for a date further ahead or within the next 24 hours.
