About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Lively
Born from a Melbourne sunset, our pop-up restaurant, Shelanous, evolved into a multi-sensory journey, blending Melbourne’s seasons into each dish. As we transitioned to “Shelanous”, we retained the essence of sharing, embodied in “nous,” meaning “our” or “us” in Hebrew and French.

    By far the best dining experience we have ever had, no other experience fine dining included can even come close to the experience we had with Shelanous. Rany and his team were absolutely sensational energetic upbeat and also very funny. We will definitely be back again.

    Loved it! Such a fun, playful and refreashing night out. I loved the music and charisma of the hosts. The food was great and it went for just the right amount of time. Well worth the wait and money. I’ll be back for the next menu/theme !
