You have to be a carnivore, but if eating meat is ok with you, then you couldn't do better. La Luna is a bit of a north Carlton institution. The food is simply....wonderful. Service exemplary.... friendly and competent. It's pricey, but that's to be expected for a bistro of this calibre. Give it a try! I
Great food and service! Back again for what seemed to be an anxious dinner, could they live up to their previous great food and service? Yes they did! The service is friendly and attentive without being over the top. The restaurant was full and bustling with conversation yet comfortable to have a conversation at your own table without yelling. We started with plates to share, the scallops, roasted eggplant, duck liver parfait and the beef tartar. They were all great with the beef tartar and the parfait being standouts for flavour. Our mains consisted of Butchers cut, the Duck in confit and pappadella with pork that were all mouth watering and well presented. To finish we settled for Creme Brulle and the special, the Mousse. It's not a cheap meal but it's not overly expensive either and you do get quality, presentation all wrapped up in a lovely environment. Really worth a visit.
The best eat out e experience in 2019. Was my first visit back in Nov 2019. We met a perfect model staff. She offered to change our seat coz the sun was affecting our table. She took time to explain their menu and recommended really good desserts. She kept checking on us but not annoyingly. She also offered to show us their “back stage”! The food was great. Really well prepared steak and tasty dessert tasting place. Must go back!
I for the most part really enjoyed dining at La Luna. The ambience was great and the service I’d had to say was immaculate, our server explained every dish thoroughly and was very attentive of our needs.My favourite dish of the night has got to be the beef tartare, it was perfectly balanced and didn’t taste gamey at all. I would be back for just this dish alone.
However every other dish that night just didn’t leave me satisfied. I would have to say that it was just okay in flavour and tenderness. My duck was abit on the dry side, and the steak lacked seasoning. I would definitely not order the salad or chips again, considering they are $9 per side I just couldn’t justify that price point for what we were served.
This is a great restaurant for a special occasion. The meals we had were amazing and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend this place.
Stumbled across this place while browsing for great place for steak. Didn't know it is owned by a celebrity chef. Food is overall very yummy. Lovely steak tartare and to die for pasta gnocchi. Great wine selections as well. Had a very pleasant dining experience here.
Absolutely delicious! I have been here three times and the food has been amazing every occasion. The steak is amazing and well cooked as were the sides the desserts are amazing too - will definitely be back
The restaurant looks old school.
The food was very tasty.
- the gnocchi was very"tasty (sometimes abit too tasty become abit salty)
- the steak has very"nice charred when warm but when cold it taste abit burnt
Sides was very generous
The tiramisu was nice (i like it with more coffee punch)
Absolutely delicious!! Fantastic meal we had tonight. Everything was so delicious except their prawn wasnt as fresh as it should be. Apart from that we love everything we had tonight. Gnocchi was melt in your mouth. Lovely service by Derrick too! Would be back for sure.
I want to give La Luna 4.5, but of course you cannot on here. If you’re looking for a good steak in a dimly lit, cosy and intimate venue - this is a very good option. My partner opted for the fillet Mignon, and it was cooked exceptionally with lovely crispy bacon or pancetta, and the quality was high; for $49 it was good value. I opted for the porterhouse 300gr; cafe de Paris butter was on point, good steak. The sides of the garlic butter kipfler potatoes and sautéed spinach with chilli and garlic were both nice additions. The chocolate pave’ for dessert was tremendous. The honeycomb was a good contrast to the rich chocolate pave’ and cut through with chocolate mouse and raspberry sauce. I will return to try other steaks on the menu, this to me is a great midweek venue to enjoy a quiet dinner.
