Moonee Ponds VIC Japanese Restaurant
Ready to delight even the most discerning Aussie foodies. Japanese-style noodles with seafood and vegetables in miso soup. We do not seek or accept payment from the cafes, restaurants, bars and shops listed in the Directory – inclusion is at our discretion.
Open until late every night except Tuesday and often full to capacity, it’s a casual favourite with locals. Chiba, meaning “thousand leaves” in Japanese, is tucked down a side street off Mount Alexander Road in the central shopping and business district of Moonee Ponds. It offers moonee ponds sushi Japanese fare – a daily bento box packed with the chef’s selections for the day, a sushi bar and a restaurant kitchen – in a sleek, modern setting. A favourite with locals who come for its market fresh sashimi, it’s a great place to pop in for a quick lunch or a slow dinner.
For many locals, the modern Mediterranean cuisine made with Victorian produce is a game-changer and it’s what makes them repeat customers. If you are not into wine, Saros Bar & Dining is also known for its amazing cocktails, whipped up by friendly and attentive staff. Since freshness is key to Japanese cuisine, Chiba uses nothing but fresh ingredients and high-quality produce, resulting in interesting and flavour-packed food. This classic Italian grill and restaurant serves steak, seafood, pasta and dessert, but it had us at “oyster bar”. The house displays its seafood range on ice, inviting customers to browse and choose their meals in a more personalised way. There’s an extensive wine list, and dessert-lovers will appreciate bombe Alaska – a notoriously complex concoction of sponge cake, meringue and sorbet flambéed with rum.
Kick off your dinner with garlic bread and perfectly cooked greens, followed by chicken or lamb skewer to prep you for the main. Even vegetarians can fill their bellies at Marcelleria with scrumptious dishes like eggplant parmigiana, veggie burgers, all kinds of salads, mashed potatoes, sweet potato wedges, and more. You see, you don’t have to go to Shanghai for authentic Cantonese cuisine, Angie’s Kitchen brings Shangai’s delicacies directly to your table. You may be a lover of Japanese food, vegetarian or vegan, or even gluten-free. Chiba on Hall Street has options to suit everyone’s tastes and dietary requirements.
This Chengu-born hot pot brand has locals flocking for its bold Sichuan soup bases and vast menu of add-ins. Come for great coffee and its famous avocado and hummus toast served with honey candied bacon. Fresh ingredients, high-quality service and comfortable environment are our long-term goals.
Parco’s thick, creamy centrepiece broth channels one Congiu tried at a high-end yakitori joint. It’s made with chicken offcuts rather than the pork bones, and takes anywhere between eight and 12 hours to achieve the right flavour and consistency. Congiu lived in Japan for two years, which is where his ramen obsession started. Back in Melbourne, he couldn’t find ramen quite like what he experienced in Japan. Not long after, they opened this dedicated ramen restaurant, Parco, in Moonee Ponds. Here, all the broths and noodles are made from scratch, and the pair use house-made koji for an umami-bomb effect.
We combine these ingredients utilising years of experience and traditional recipes, creating amazing dishes that will make your mouth water. Call our Japanese restaurant in Moonee Ponds today for a fantastic meal. Eat in for friendly service and great hospitality, or get a meal to take away. With highly trained chefs, delicious food, and great service and prices, Chiba Japanese Restaurant will look after you. This European-feel joint comprises a liquor store out front and a wine bar, beer hall, all-weather courtyard and pizza joint out back.
Owner Anthony Bongiovanni grew up locally and has returned to “the Ponds” after more than a decade running his own businesses around Melbourne. With more than 350 brews in the bottle shop and 18 on tap in the bar, what he doesn’t know about craft beer isn’t worth knowing. The menu is packed with pizzas and classic Italian dishes .
Photos adorn the red brick walls, and Greek folk musicians from both Melbourne and overseas often play. It’s the closest patrons will get to dining in a Greek home without actually traveling to Greece. This Bayside favourite's second outpost is your go-to for house-made mortadella, top-notch fresh pasta and blood orange negronis. This modern take on the classic Italian trattoria has a primo pizza offering and an all-weather rooftop terrace overlooking Chapel Street. A breezy all-day spot for Mediterranean eats and beachside spritzes, in an iconic St Kilda site. Boasting Tonka's Adam D'Sylva as creative culinary director, Lollo is Flinders Lane's swanky hotel restaurant with no scrambled eggs in sight.
