Dining Experience at Park Hyatt Melbourne

The dining experience at Park Hyatt Melbourne blew us away!

Dining at Park Hyatt Melbourne was nothing short of spectacular! I had the pleasure of experiencing both In-Room Dining for dinner and a delightful lunch at the Tea Lounge & Garden. The dinner was a highlight of my stay—the chef was incredibly kind and tailored a personalised menu for us. We enjoyed an array of Asian dishes, including fried rice and char kway teow, alongside fresh oysters, French fries, prosciutto, and perfectly cooked barramundi. It was all served by the cosy fireplace, creating an intimate and memorable evening.

The cocktails were simply outstanding—vibrant, fruity, and refreshingly punchy! I couldn't stop raving about how well-crafted they were. The lunch at the Tea Lounge & Garden was equally impressive, offering a relaxed yet elegant dining experience.

Bon Appetit!

Breakfast at the on-site restaurant, radii, was also real treat, with both a buffet selection and an à la carte menu featuring delicious options like French toast, fried rice, and congee. While the buffet was delightful, it was the made-to-order dishes that truly stole the show. The restaurant is also open every night except Sunday for dinner.
