Lemongrass Thai, Melbourne

This well-established Melbourne restaurant has gained quite a reputation, but with good reason. Royal Thai cuisine served well is one of the world's most sumptuous and delectable eating experiences. Everything is done in good taste—the decor, food, service and the overall presentation. Lemongrass Thai successfully combines all elements that make a restaurant "grand". This is not the place for a quick pre-cinema meal. The menu is both traditional and modern. Think green papaya salad, blue swimmer crab and black & white sticky rice—all as exotic as it sounds. Be warned though, that fine dining does come with high prices.
