I had been looking forward to brunch at Fenix but was quite disappointed. The coffee was only average, food quite good although others not so happy. Beautiful sunny Sunday in late April and only a couple of tables with people. Service average. Definitely more an events type venue as lacks personality. More

Had one of the most flavoursome lunches here! Gary Meghian's restaurant is in a lovely location on the Yarra with gum trees and bellbirds. Definitely one of the best meals I've had!! More

We recently celebrated out 25th wedding anniversary at Fenix. The food was quite rich but certainly of a high quality. The setting was lovely. Perhaps because it was a Monday night, the staff outnumbered the diners for most of the evening. I am not sure why, but the three tables in use were all next to each other and the... More

We ate at Fenix approximately 12 months ago and it was excellent, however this time we were quite disappointed. We booked a few months ahead for our wedding anniversary and asked for a nice table. When we arrived there was no mention of our anniversary and we were seated at a table side by side next to a pillar. The... More

We enjoyed the space and the view but the food was a real let down. Firstly waited half an hour to receive our tasteless smoothies and cold coffee. Some of the family enjoyed their basic egg orders but the blueberry pancake(not cakes)was just ok and the Israeli breakfast a real let down. Tiny bit of Israeli salad on a greek... More

I recently celebrated my birthday at Fenix. A big group of family and friends came in for dinner. When I called to make the reservation the guy on the phone was very nice and took the time to answer all my questions. I made a booking for 6:30 pm on a Friday. The restaurant was busy but front of house... More

I have been to Fenix a number times. last week we celebrated our wedding anniversary there. we enjoyed a very romantic evening with wonderful food & wine. The staff will go the extra mile to make sure you are happy and I really appreciate that. Fenix is one of my all time favourite restaurants in Melbourne and I highly recommend... More

We live in England and I have been a Masterchef Austalia fan since the programme began. Knowing we were to be in Melbourne we booked to visit this restaurant with great expectations. Alas, alas what a disappointment. The wine was fine - the bread delicious (not made in-house) but as for the rest .... ! I had mussels which were... More
