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.

    What an amazing experience! The dining experience was phenomenal, the Chef, his staff, the food, THE DRINKS! the atmosphere, the ambiance was absolutely incredible. This is a once in a life time experience that everyone needs to experience! I am in absolute awe & cannot wait for more of our friends & family to come & see the show & experience it themselves! By the end I felt humbled & have now got a whole new appreciation for Kosher food & those vegetarian dishes served by Chef himself! It was a lovely evening with great company & even better food! Thank you so much!

    Sensational restaurant. This is not just a meal, it's an experience. Think dinner and a show, on steroids. Surprising in every good way. I can't recommend it highly enough. If you want to splurge on a really special night out, this is the place to do it.

    Greeted by the friendly staff already in character, the journey begins the minute you step foot into the theatre. Covering all seasons, the experience was fully immersive from the food, decor, lighting and music. It was interactive and fun! With no idea what was going to happen next, your only guide was a menu of dishes and the costumes of the staff. Their extensive knowledge of food and beverage made the pairing to dishes fun and delightful. Incredible experience to remember forever. Well done to the fantastic team.
