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.

    I don’t know that you can describe the experience at Shelanous! It was like being Alice in Wonderland, the setting, the music , the staff and the food are like nothing you have ever experienced before. Rony and his team are exceptional and there is such a joy that comes with this whole dining experience that you have to see it to believe it. This has become our top restaurant ever! WOW. Thank you so very much.

    Rony and the team are so funny, from the minute you walk in the front door, you feel welcome and start laughing. The scenery, food,drinks, and the entire vibe was 20/10. We travel from NSW to experience this event. Wish we had this in Newcastle/Sydney. I highly recommend that if you're in Melbourne, you need to do this. Thanks, guys, for an incredible evening of spectacular food, drinks, and entertainment. It was one of the best nights I've had at a restaurant.
