About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Innovative
When Ross Magnaye and Shane Stafford started Serai, their vision was to create a restaurant that would fit perfectly in the heart of the Philippines. To replicate the spirit, vitality, passion and sense of fun, they knew Serai would become a home from home for our diners.

​At our restaurant, right in the heart of Melbourne, you can watch the chefs prepare and fresh food daily in our open kitchen at the chef’s omakase table or relax in the restaurant and bar with a glass of our hand picked, vin naturel selections or signature cocktails.

    The dishes were on the saltier side, which overpowered some of the flavors, and the prices felt a bit steep for what was offered. Drinks were decent but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, not the best value for the experience.

    Delicious and an elevated new take on Pinoy dishes plus amazing staff and service. Wish we had a sister restaurant back in Adelaide. Thank you for looking after me and my husband as we dined at the bar. Worth every tip.

    Really good set menu for Mother’s Day. We had tuna, wagyu, pork belly and lamb which was all amazing and very good value for $110 pp. We had amazing waitstaff and they were very accommodating to our large group booking.
