Crystal Jade Restaurant

Best Known For

Wok-fried snow crab in French Foie Gras pate.

Good food makes for a good mood at Crystal Jade Restaurant on Little Bourke Street in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. This elegant first-floor Cantonese restaurant is a firm local favourite and bustling with diners from lunch until late at large white-clothed tables, making it the ideal spot for large gatherings and family catchups. Fish tanks with live seafood line one wall, while overhead twinkling chandeliers add a refined touch as you ponder an extensive yum cha and a la carte menu, boasting dishes like signature grilled black cod with nishiyaki sauce. Perhaps start with shark fin soup and crab meat, or deep-fried salt and spicy boneless quail; before mesmerising mains such as braised chicken and sliced abalone cooked in a clay pot, with sides of steamed vegetables and fried rice.
