About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Lively
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.

    Delicious and an elevated new take on Pinoy dishes plus amazing staff and service. Wish we had a sister restaurant back in Adelaide. Thank you for looking after me and my husband as we dined at the bar. Worth every tip.

    Really good set menu for Mother’s Day. We had tuna, wagyu, pork belly and lamb which was all amazing and very good value for $110 pp. We had amazing waitstaff and they were very accommodating to our large group booking.

    My team and I (all self proclaimed snobs) had an epically good meal here. Everything was delicious, service was top tier, vibes were really fun.

    Food is always great, the service very friendly from both wait staff and chefs and these people just do whatever is necessary to make you feel welcomed as a guest and all hospitality staff should be trained here.

    First few dishes were 10/10. Service was intermittently terrible, on a quiet night it took 10 minutes to get a waiters attention to order a drink while bar staff were chatting and drinking behind the bar. The main course was swapped from lamb to goat without notice, and it wound up being too tough to eat. The cocktails were very good. For a $170 per person price tag, I would hope for better consistency and service.

    I had two specials: oysters and crab. Both fantastic but the surprise was the kangaroo with bone marrow. Succulent and tender. I also tried serai’s wine and it paired very well. Overall, I loved my experience- the staff was lovely and knowledgeable. If I was really hungry I’d go for the chef’s menu. When and if I come back from New Zealand I’ll definitely return!

    All the staff were very friendly and laid-back. Each dish was very different to the last but so very tasty. Will definitely be looking to visit when in Melbourne again.
