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.

    Some experiences in life need to simply be lived, for words and pictures can never truly tell the story. Shelanous is one of those experiences. That said, Shalnous is the ultimate combination of fine food coupled with theatre, presentation, comedy and connection between people with genuine vision and passion for what they do. Rony and his team are like a big family working together, genuinely wanting each other to succeed but also stirring each other along the way to balance it out, and it’s this warmth and family connection that transcends to the long table, firstly by making you feel part of their family, but then also bringing strangers together over food to connect and communicate extending that family feel. And that’s the secret, food and family. A combination that has been so important to connection for centuries, of which Rony and the team have added their own unique twist too that creates a dining experience like no other. Rony, thank you to you and your team for an evening we will never forget and after enjoying some post dinner wines with you and Gab after the other guests left, we wish you all every success with what the future holds and look forward to watching the growth and new ideas come to life. Well watching from the Gold Coast at least until we can get back down, as we will most certainly be back. Best Regards, Matt and Nicole (Gold Coast) P.S. Minimal pics as don't want to ruin surprises for others.

    Roni you & your team have given new meaning to the term fine dining. Our night was filled with so much fun love laughter and amazing food. The show could not have come together without your d dream as a young boy and passion for what you love to do and your team made it all the better. These nights don’t happen without a team that love and support you. I promise you I will tell everyone in the west (Australia) if they are ever going to Melbourne to book early for a memory they won’t forget. Love to you and the team xxxx Simone and Shannon (THE TWINS 50th birthday)

    Wow where does one start. From the minute we walked in the door our wonderful experience started. Personal 1 on 1 service. Making sure our dietary requirements were meet. The food was out of this world and the show that accompanied it was amazing. Ronny and his staff were amazing, entertaining and made us all very welcome. We were there on Mother’s Day and had a beautiful red rose presented to all of the ladies there. Highly recommended. The 4 ladies from NZ

    ✨ A sensory delight from start to finish! The atmosphere was buzzing, the food was bursting with flavor, and the drinks were pure art in a glass. Every detail felt thoughtfully crafted – from the warm welcome to the last bite. Can’t wait to return for another unforgettable experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
