These might just be the best dining room views in Melbourne – the glowing Arts Centre spire, the dark slash of the Yarra River, and the endless stream of commuters at Flinders Street Station. Executive chef Tony Twitchett is working with the high-octane flavours of South East Asia, a roiling mix of sweet, salt, sour and bitter. Dine à la carte or sample the best on a degustation menu: oysters, sake-washed tuna, candy pork belly, barramundi and scallop in a black garlic dressing, Sichuan salted duck (a Taxi classic) and a whipped panna cotta. Pay by Citi card and order a minimum of one main course per person and get a bottle of Coombe Farm Pinot Noir or Chardonnay to go with those unbeatable views.
