Delicious Cantonese cooking with a touch of luxury and a hint of Twin Peaks. Flower Drum is a Melbourne institution, celebrating its 50th birthday in just two years. Dining here is an experience, an almost surreal combination of opulence, well-prepared dishes, and tongue-in-cheek performance - their classic Peking duck is a prime example. Their legendary front-of-house team is composed of real characters, and the wine list is extensive. If you're unable to secure a table (which is not easy), you also have the option to dine in the bar. While you might miss out on some of the action, it's a fun option as well.
