About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Lively
When Ross Magnaye and Shane Stafford started Serai, their vision was to create a restaurant that would fit perfectly in the heart of the Philippines. To replicate the spirit, vitality, passion and sense of fun, they knew Serai would become a home from home for our diners.

​At our restaurant, right in the heart of Melbourne, you can watch the chefs prepare and fresh food daily in our open kitchen at the chef’s omakase table or relax in the restaurant and bar with a glass of our hand picked, vin naturel selections or signature cocktails.

    the food is very good, however the prawn dish for $30 was two old (they had black heads) prawns, so very pricey!

    Hi Team, The restaurant came highly recommended. The location is quaint. The staff very friendly, polite and knowledgeable. The lighting was a touch to dark as we needed to use the light from our phones to read the menu. The music was a touch to loud and it was difficult to clearly understand everything the waiter and even everything my wife was saying throughout the meal. The beef was soft and juicy, but I found too many loose pieces of bone inside one rib. The calamari was perfectly cooked, but the sauce was a touch to hot. For the size of the servings we received, I would say the price was a touch too high and therefore wasn't the best value for money. If I did go again I would definately sit outside. As there is an awning and heaters. Thanks, Peter

    Noah recommended drinks and dishes for us. We ordered everything and had the best time. Luckily, we were able to stay beyond the 2 hour seating time to continue trying more recommendations. It was my cousin’s first time and first day in Melbourne so I was happy to share this experience with her and her friend. We appreciated the twist of Filipino inspired flavours and ingredients. Great to see people appreciating our cuisine. Made much better with our interactions with our servers Noah, Sam, and two cool ladies (whose names we didnt get to ask). Thank you for letting us try the secret menu. Will definitely come back. 👌🏽

    Delicious bold flavours with highly professional yet gleefully friendly service. The whole experience was fun, satisfying and a fabulous example of hospo done right on every level. Our whole group of four loved it.

    This was a Philippine fusion restaurant. Playing Latin tunes. Great mix of people. The staff knew what they were doing. Overall a real surprise. I will definitely return. Their scallops in a mini bun were exquisite.

    Amazing food and portion. We were so full and have to takeaway. Overall , I love the dishes are made creatively with filo and asian fusion style. Staffs are very friendly and polite as well. It’s worth the price point.
