Serai Kitchen
Filipino sharing plates, a seasonal Feed Me dinner and a lower-cost Thursday–Sunday lunch.
01 / The experience
Filipino cooking from the wood fire.
Filipino sharing plates, a seasonal Feed Me dinner and a lower-cost Thursday–Sunday lunch.
Serai brings Filipino flavours and wood-fire cooking to Racing Club Lane. The menu moves from smaller plates to larger dishes from the fire, with preparations such as kinilaw, sisig and inasal alongside seasonal Australian produce. It suits a group happy to share and leave time for a proper dinner.
The A$105 Chef’s Feed Me takes care of the ordering, while à la carte lets you build your own meal. A separate A$49 Salo-Salo lunch runs Thursday to Sunday from noon to 15:00. That makes it useful for a city day or an extended stay, but a tournament-day lunch competes with time inside Melbourne Park.
Reserve ahead, especially for a later return from Melbourne Park. Tuesday and Wednesday offer dinner only, and Monday is closed. Add the published weekend or public-holiday surcharge to your food and drink choices. Discuss allergies directly with the restaurant: its menu lists possible allergen traces, and the seasonal Feed Me is a sample rather than a promise of particular courses.

Arrival & access
Find the restaurant at 7 Racing Club Lane. Follow the lane address rather than stopping on the main CBD street; check your return route before a late dinner.

Contact the restaurant to confirm the step-free route, suitable seating and accessible toilet before reserving.
Plan your table
Reserve through the restaurant’s booking link. Contact the restaurant directly for groups larger than ten and discuss dietary requirements before choosing the Feed Me menu.
Tell the team about allergies before ordering. The menu warns of traces of dairy, eggs, wheat, nuts, sesame, fish and shellfish; marked vegan options do not establish allergy safety.
Check the cancellation, deposit and no-show terms attached to your chosen reservation before confirming.
Keep your confirmation and contact the restaurant if your arrival time or guest count changes.
