My partner took me to Longrain in Melbourne where we were seated with others at a long table. We sat opposite some friendly folks who were already into their meal. We started with the "Betel Leaf Betel topped with pomelo, mint, green papaya & kaffir lime leaf" .. the flavour was exquisite, then our taste buds were ready for our... More

I love going to the place..one of the best thai restaurants in Melbourne. Great round table seating conducive to conversation. Service is spot on...food is amazing. Highly recommend for both business and family/friend dinners. Bit loud for quiet couples dinner I would say...groovy little bar for pre or post dinner drinks also!

This is a very swanky Thai restaurant and very funky and Australian. I went with kids (7 and 4) and it is not a kid friendly restaurant. There is no kid specific menu item and it isn't geared for littlies. The menu is very interesting with a great mix of food (however limited). The egg net salad was fantastic and... More

Love the menu - similar to Sydney's Longrain. And the "communal dining". Meals were great too. Although I'm vego so requested some without the pork (i think) sauce and it was a bit bland.

There is little to say about Longrain Melbourne - just sitting here thinking about it is making my mouth water - fabulous food a must visit if you are staying in Melbourne! If you are a group try suggesting a total price and asking the waiter to just feed you as much good food as they can for the price,... More

I've been to Longrain at least 5 times and it is always a fantastic dining experience. The food is absolutely amazing - though we're very guilty of ordering the same things whenever we go, simply because they're so good! Whatever you do make sure you have the caramelised pork hock, salt & pepper tofu and the prawn & pork eggnet!... More

Chose to sit up at the bar, which proved to be a great way to check out impressive cocktail making and got some great tips from the bar staff. Chose to try some smaller sized servings so I could try a couple of dishes (the smaller size wasn't on the menu so just have to ask). Eggnet and the Caramelised... More

It doesn't look like a Thai restaurant! Funky bar, Communal table, exotic menu and delicious food made by innovative Australian Chefs.
