Longrain Melbourne

I love Longrain. I was here 5-6 times. The food never fails. Must-Haves include caramelized pig ****, oysters and scallops/crab in the betel leaves. Superb every time.

Call Lon Grain or Long Rain or use the G twice and call it Long Grain like a Nitwit?

The standard that all Thai restaurants have to live in Melbourne.

In short, my experience at longrain was sensational. The floor staff were immediately helpful, polite, friendly, knowledgeable and conscientious of allergies and dietary requirements. The atmosphere was welcoming and lively, the fit out is fresh and modern, the large table size for 2 added to the luxury of the space. My friend and I ordered: The Tuna Tartare, came out within 5 minutes on a semi busy dinner time Sunday night. The tuna was incredible, the spice was heavenly and the texture showcased how fresh and succulent the fish was. Presentation was on point and the flavours were instantly overwhelming. We both knew straight away the food here was gonna be next level. The tofu, which we had with rice, we were pleasantly surprised that the portion size was adequate to have with rice as a small meal. The silken tofu was perfectly seasoned and the sweet soy brought all the flavours together. I highly recommend having a bit of extra sauce on your spoon when you enjoy. The crispy whole fish, which tonight was snapper and where to start? The presentation was identical to their Instagram, showcasing how consistent these chefs are. The meat was succulent and full of flavour under that delicious crispy coating. I'm not usually a fan of tamarind however the accompanying sauce has changed me. Was the perfect balance of flavours that carried it's way all through the fish and steamed rice. We both picked as much of the fish off the bones as we could even though we were already completely full, it was just that tasty. If you can't decide on a dessert, get the selection with all of them. The tapioca is fresh with lovely passionfruit and raspberry, the black sticky rice pudding with mango and coconut is rich creamy and full of fruit flavour, the banana fritters in coconut batter is caremilsed perfectly. In all the bill wasn't too expensive, I've definatly paid more for lower quality in China town, I'm so very happy with each moment of my experience at Longrain and eagerly looking forward to being back. Highly recommend, would hands down be the best Thai in Melbourne

Marvelous, fantastic, beautiful and delicious. This is the way how I would recap my experience in this restaurant. The place has a very nice atmosphere, the dishes are stunning and Alessandro made our night providing a top service. Super recommended!
