[Plan this experience]() [Explore the story]() Cost **A$350 per person from January 2027 · food only** Time to allow **Allow 3–4 hours** Place **Fitzroy Gardens, East Melbourne** 01 / The experience ### A long Australian tasting menu in Fitzroy Gardens. Hugh Allen’s restaurant combines a substantial tasting-menu occasion with a distinctive garden setting and terracotta dining spaces. $$$$ Modern Australian Dinner · food only A$320; A$350 from 1 January 2027. Yiaga sits in the Pavilion at Fitzroy Gardens, with Hugh Allen’s Australian tasting menu at the centre of the visit. Curved terracotta spaces and garden-facing tables make the dining room part of the occasion. Give the meal three to four hours, then leave room in your day for arrival and an unhurried return. Its service pattern matters for a tournament visit: dinner is Thursday to Saturday, lunch Friday to Sunday. A Thursday dinner can work before the main Friday–Sunday Formula 1 programme if you are not spending that evening at Melbourne Park. A Friday, Saturday or Sunday lunch replaces several hours of track time; choose it deliberately, rather than fitting it between sessions. The restaurant has announced A$350 per person for its tasting menu from 1 January 2027, before drinks. Reservations open three months ahead on the first day of the month at 10:00 Melbourne time. Confirm dietary suitability before reserving: Yiaga cannot make its menu completely free of both dairy and eggs, and a shared kitchen means cross-contact needs discussion. ![Yiaga, Australian Open]() Fine dining **Yiaga** Australian Open In pictures ### The full gallery. 02 / The essentials ### Yiaga: visit essentials 1. 01 Australian tasting menu by Hugh Allen 2. 02 3–4-hour meal 3. 03 A$350 per person from 1 January 2027 4. 04 Wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets 04 / Before you go ### Plan your visit Confirm January service, booking conditions and facilities with the venue for your selected day. #### Menu & spending Tasting menu A$350 per person from 1 January 2027, food only.
