CODA

Lovely modern Asian fusion with some Australian influences. I came here with a group for a work lunch and the Coda team were very accommodating. We dined from the set menu and ordered some extra a la carte mains. I loved every dish and the beef rendang was my favourite. The kingfish was the most surpring and interesting flavour, sashimi and green curry - a first for me and it really works. The service was incredibly attentive and accommodating. We were seated near the entrance which seemed far from other diners and very easy to converse. Above my original expectations. Highly recommend.

Dinner at Coda absolutely delivered last night. From the first cocktail to the final spoonful of dessert, everything hit the mark. The cocktails were fresh, vibrant and dangerously smooth — the perfect way to kick off an incredible meal. The kaffir lime salmon gravlax was bright, delicate and beautifully balanced, while the tea smoked duck breast in Sichuan vinaigrette brought layers of smoky, spicy and aromatic flavours that worked insanely well together. The prawn fried rice was pure nostalgia in the best possible way — comforting, packed with flavour and impossible to stop eating. Then came the steak with whipped butter and pepper… and wow. Cooked perfectly, full of flavour and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Simple things done exceptionally well always stand out, and this absolutely did. Dessert sealed the deal with a stunning dark chocolate and hazelnut praline finished with wattle pollen. Rich, silky and beautifully balanced without being overly sweet — the perfect ending to the night. What made the whole experience even better was the service. Super friendly, attentive and genuinely helpful staff who made the night feel relaxed and effortless. Coda continues to prove why Melbourne’s dining scene is world class. Incredible food, smashing cocktails and hospitality done right.

Perfect work dinner spot! The food was top-notch (some of the best I've had recently), and the wine selection was excellent. Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. A true hidden gem in Melbourne CBD—highly recommend

Came here for a work dinner and left mind-blown. The food was top-notch, some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel very welcome, and the wine selection was excellent. A must-try hidden gem in Melbourne CBD. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vegan food all really yummy, restaurant has a great ambience and service fantastic! They have a separate vegan / vegetarian menu with some great options. Only suggestion is to post the vegan / vegetarian menu in the website so people know there is one. When I booked through Open Table it had a specific note that they cannot always cater to vegans and to call and check - but then there was a separate paper menu in the restaurant.
