My girlfriend and I were lucky to have lunch at this underground Melbourne establishment. Staff managed to strike the balance between friendly professionalism and intimate knowledge of their food. We enjoyed the cured ocean trout, eggplant and tofu delight and fried cauliflower. All superbly done with delicate balance of flavours. We will be back.

Saturday night in Melbourne, many restaurants all full but at Coda the front of house went to great lengths to accommodate 3 of us at the bar. our wonderful waiter selected dishes for us; a series of taste sensations. The staff were professional but also fun. We laughed together and discussed the qualities of the food with them. A great... More

We missed out in getting in here on our last trip to Melbourne but this experience really made up for it.We chose an 8 course degustation with matching wines. Never had Betel leaf before but these mini 'wraps' were full of flavour and the leaf had a wonderful fresh crunch, the scallops, while not particularly large (by Western Australian standards)...

Really buzzy restaurant, Food excellent, lots of tapas style things which we really enjoy. The four of us ordered a lot of dishes and we couldn't fault one. The service was helpful and friendly, we hadn't had samphire before which was in one of the dishes and asked where to get some and they gave us a small container full... More

Rendezvous with hubby for a lovely lunch on his footy trip weekend. Loved the shared menu. We had several of the smaller courses including crispy prawn in betel leaf, soft rice paper rolls and quail in lettuce cups, followed by tuna salad and beef tartare. The food was light and refreshing with a myriad of complex flavours. Really enjoyed it... More

To sum up, this place was an interesting tapas bar with very nice food throughout the meal but overall an expensive evening. We sat at the bar so our service was good but still a little lengthy... Would recommend for a nice occasion but something missing to make this a very special place
