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.

    We returned with some ‘foodie’ friends for the second time and were not disappointed. The food is rich in flavour and so different to any other dining experience I’ve had in Melbourne. The discreet location is great and the service, unbeatable. Definitely recommend, especially the roo marrow and sisig.

    Staff were so helpful and offered a few samples of vermouth before selecting my preferred. The food was just delicious. So flavourful. Moody interior and not too loud so we could have a clear conversation at the table. A great night out. Thank you!✨

    Have to return. We sat at the Chef's Table and was fantastic, informative, fun. Food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Great to discuss the dishes with amasing staff, paired with delicious wines - big thanks to Lex for his amasing expertise . So happy to recommend 5 Stars
