Sushi, seafood and Japanese-Peruvian signatures at Crown, with a choice between lunch, à la carte dinner and omakase.
01 / The experience
Choose your own Japanese-Peruvian occasion.
Sushi, seafood and Japanese-Peruvian signatures at Crown, with a choice between lunch, à la carte dinner and omakase.
Nobu Melbourne suits a Southbank dinner when you want the meal to be part of your trip rather than a quick stop on the way home. Japanese cooking meets Peruvian flavours, with sushi and signature seafood among the choices. Decide whether you want an à la carte table or a longer omakase meal before choosing your reservation.
Daily lunch gives you a useful option on a city day away from Melbourne Park. Dinner works after tennis if your booking leaves room for the crowds, your journey back and a change at the hotel. Crown is convenient for a Southbank base, but the restaurant sits inside a large complex: reaching the address and reaching your table are separate parts of the arrival.
For omakase, everyone at the table must participate. Discuss dietary needs before booking, compare the current lunch and dinner menus and check weekend charges. Keep the booking confirmation handy if your venue departure runs late; Crown asks guests to contact the restaurant when they may miss the arrival time.
