Bookings & tables
How many people can I book for?
For instant confirmation, select Standard Booking: up to 8 guests on the terrace or 12 inside.

Do larger groups need a sharing menu?
Sharing menus help larger tables enjoy their meals together and make service and dietary planning easier. Alternative arrangements may be available for inside groups on suitable dates; our team will advise after reviewing your request.
Where can we sit?
- Inside: Dining tables, communal tables and bar-style seating near our Lego Bar.
- Riverside Terrace: Outdoor dining beside the Yarra, with retractable awnings and heaters in cooler weather.
- TukTuk Nook: Private dining and functions, arranged with our events team.

Why do you need my card details?
Some larger bookings and busy dates require card details as a guarantee. Your card is not charged when the booking is made.
Late cancellation, reduced guest numbers or no-shows may incur charges under the terms shown in the booking widget and your confirmation.
Food & dining
Can you cater for allergies and dietaries?
We have vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options. Separate fryers are used for gluten-free dishes, and we follow procedures to minimise cross-contact. However, allergens are handled in our kitchen, so we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.
Please advise us of coeliac requirements, serious allergies and other dietary needs when booking. Our team will confirm what can be accommodated.
Is halal food available?
All meat except pork is sourced from halal-certified suppliers. Some dishes and sauces may need adjustment, and pork is prepared in our kitchen. Please tell us your requirements when booking so we can advise which dishes or substitutions are suitable.
When is Bottomless Brunch?
Journey to Thailand Bottomless Brunch runs on weekends and public holidays from 12:30pm to 2pm, subject to availability. Choose your date in Standard Booking and select the brunch experience if offered.
Can we bring a cake?
Yes, provided the cake is made in a commercial kitchen. A $2.50 per person cakeage fee applies if you would like us to store, cut and serve it.
Can I use a Best Restaurants gift card?
Yes, we accept valid Best Restaurants gift cards. Please bring the physical card or required digital details so our team can process payment.
Getting here & other details
