With one of the most enviable views across Melbourne's city skyline, an innovative and inviting menu and delightfully welcoming and attentive service, Taxi Dining Room is among the upper echelon of the city's dining experiences. With a 'new guard' of restaurant industry stars now in the driver's seat, the Melbourne institution is experiencing a renewal that will cement its place at the top.

A dynamic front of house team led by Owen Brockfield and Kieran Spiteri provides the ultimate service experience, layered with personality and warmth.

Featuring Executive Chef Tony Twitchett's masterful fusion of modern Australian with Asian influences, the food is a reflection of his calibre of experience.

With a background in French cuisine acquired from his apprenticeship at The Stokehouse, Tony has also nurtured his passion for Asian cuisine throughout his professional and personal life journey.

Tony joined Chef Michael Lambie at Taxi in 2004 after a stint at Circa. At the end of 2009, he assisted Michael in launching Barkers Wine Bar & Bistro in Hawthorn and after a successful 12 months there, Tony has now come home to Taxi in the position of Executive Chef.

The menu offers an artfully curated collection of flavours, stimulating your tastebuds with modern Japanese, spicy south-east Asian as well as rich and succulent French dishes, all with that fresh Australian polish Taxi Dining Room is renowned for.

In addition to the comprehensive menu, Taxi Dining Room boasts a carefully selected wine list, comprising several rare and unusual wines along with the best of Australia's rich bounty, to offer guests a robust dining experience (the list is 1,100 strong).

It would be easy to be intimidated by the magnitude of this 'library of wines' although Taxi Dining Room's four highly skilled sommeliers, led by Jackson Watson who recently joined the team from ezard, make your wine and food match seamless. As another respectful nod to the East, Taxi Dining Room even boasts Melbourne's only sake sommelier.

Amongst the hustle and bustle of Melbourne's CBD, Taxi Dining Room offers guests a unique, premium dining experience. Demonstrating fresh and complex flavours, the menu is set to amaze diners by challenging the perceptions of modern Australian cuisine.
