About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Lively
Born from a Melbourne sunset, our pop-up restaurant, Shelanous, evolved into a multi-sensory journey, blending Melbourne’s seasons into each dish. As we transitioned to “Shelanous”, we retained the essence of sharing, embodied in “nous,” meaning “our” or “us” in Hebrew and French.

    An absolutely wonderful night. Made a few attempts at describing the night but deleted all of them as I could not do sufficient justice. I would just highly, highly recommend!

    Hosted a group of 10 people at Shelanous and we have all been raving about it! One of the best dining experiences we've ever had. Rony and his team have created something extremely special that combines delicious food, suspense, joy and memories that will be talked about for a long time coming. Worth every $.
