Grand Lafayette - Boronia

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! It's a unique spot with great food, a lively atmosphere, and friendly service. If you haven't tried it yet while in Prahan, you definitely should. The dishes are delicious and fresh, showcasing a modern Japanese cuisine style. It's a really intriguing place to dine, and you must try their crispy dango. The restaurant is quite spacious, making it a perfect choice for large groups and various occasions. I can't wait to return!

This popular modern Japanese restaurant is a favorite among both Melburnians and tourists, conveniently located at 9 Clifton St, Prahran. We had an absolutely wonderful experience in this beautiful, spacious venue. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the dining experience was simply delightful. We were excited to try their new à la carte menu, which features a delicious mix of fusion dishes and Japanese classics. We enjoyed the tartare with soy yolk, avocado, and rice puff ($26.50), as well as the beef tataki with soy yolk and scallions ($27.50). I must mention my love for tempura, and I had a delightful portion all to myself—no sharing!

While the concept of the beef sukiyaki was promising, the beef itself was a bit tough. We suggested that a fattier cut be used and perhaps cooked medium rare for better tenderness. The baked scallops were a highlight, featuring a delightful cheesy sauce that we thoroughly enjoyed. The salmon volcano maki had great textures and flavors, although the rice could have been less mushy. We also sampled their stunning raindrop desserts, which we found to be refreshing and light—a perfect way to round off the buffet. Additionally, the service was outstanding. Thank you, Grand Lafayette, for your generosity!

If any fellow Flamers are interested in trying this place too, feel free to reach out and we can set a date!

Absolutely fantastic! We visited the restaurant expecting just another ordinary dinner, but it turned out to be an exceptional experience! From the service to the dining itself, everything was flawless. The timing of the service was impeccable; there was truly nothing to complain about. Forget about the price for a moment—treat yourself to some fine dining because this place is worth every penny. I give it 5 stars and highly recommend it!
