If you’re seeking exceptional food, outstanding service, and a beautiful setting, Flui delivers everything you could desire for an unforgettable dining experience.
Flui opened in the Melbourne Building on Northbourne Avenue last month and has quickly garnered rave reviews.
The restaurant offers modern Australian dining and is owned and operated by Lina Shou and Leon Panefs, who met while working at the acclaimed Braddon restaurant Corella.
CW had the pleasure of dining at the venue, enjoying a variety of dishes in the elegant, stylish setting with great service.
The entrees consisted of the house-made ciabatta with butter, battered zucchini blossom and the grilled king prawn with fermented chilli and citrus. You can’t go wrong with good bread and butter, and the ciabatta delivers everything you would want. The zucchini blossom, paired with a Red Leicester cheese dip, was a perfect match, and the prawn was equally delightful.
Next came the slow-roasted lamb ribs, cooked to perfection and beautifully paired with a roasted pumpkin wedge topped with a rich goat curd. We also tried the twice-cooked quail coated in puffed grains that gave a nice crunch.
A great dining experience isn’t complete without a delicious dessert. So, the torched pav with mascarpone, raspberries and strawberries was a great note to finish, with the creamy mascarpone the standout element of the dish.
Verdict: Overall, the food was delicious, the staff friendly and knowledgeable, and the décor and venue top shelf. The prices are typical of what you expect to pay at a fine dining establishment, most likely $100+ per head (more if you like to drink). If you are looking for a venue to enjoy a date night, celebrate a special occasion or simply a nice meal, Flui comes highly recommended.
