Cantonese fine dining with impeccable service and tableside preparations
"A Melbourne restaurant presenting seasonal Cantonese fare that emphasizes daily market produce and traditional techniques, delivering polished, refined Cantonese dishes." - Erik Trinidad
"Ask Australia’s most famous chefs about their favorite Melbourne restaurant, and many will namecheck Flower Drum, the almost 50-year-old Cantonese fine dining institution in Chinatown. Take the elevator up from the host stand to the large red-carpeted dining room and be awed by the besuited waiters who deliver some of the best formal service anywhere in the world. There are dumplings and noodles, a legendary Peking duck, and seafood by the kilo that’s fished out of tanks just prior to cooking. Most dishes are served with some level of tableside preparation and panache, adding to the pure theater of the experience." - Audrey Bourget

"A nearly 50-year-old Cantonese fine-dining institution known for impeccable, ceremonious service and tableside preparations; highlights include delicate xiao long bao filled with mud crab broth, showstopping tableside Peking duck carved and assembled with light pancakes and plum-sauce swan presentation, and outstanding fresh seafood—though an evening here can be extraordinarily expensive." - Besha Rodell
