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.

    We returned with some ‘foodie’ friends for the second time and were not disappointed. The food is rich in flavour and so different to any other dining experience I’ve had in Melbourne. The discreet location is great and the service, unbeatable. Definitely recommend, especially the roo marrow and sisig.

    This was our first time at Serai having heard really good things about this restaurant. As someone who doesn’t eat pork, I was initially a little apprehensive about how this could be managed given pork’s ubiquity in Filipino cuisine - fear not! Wonderful seafood and veg dishes and interesting pork numbers for my two pork-eating friends. Great service too, with an extensive wine list for all tastes and most budgets. I’ll be back :)

    Great restaurant with a relaxed vibe. Food is great, the char and sauce in the cabbage is something I will come back for again and again. Drinks and cocktail list is substantial, try the pandan cocktail! The service at Serai is exceptional, so welcoming and cheerful even on a busy Friday night. The staff here take your experience to another level. One of my new fav restaurants in Melbourne!

    Staff were so helpful and offered a few samples of vermouth before selecting my preferred. The food was just delicious. So flavourful. Moody interior and not too loud so we could have a clear conversation at the table. A great night out. Thank you!✨
