Hi Cumulus Inc.,
Just would like to say what an amazing experience I had just then tonight. It was perfect in every aspects of my dinner and what I was looking for when I’m dining alone. I would definitely recommend to anyone who haven’t got the chance to dine-in at Cumulus Inc. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to have some of the food choices to be served half of its usual portion (like tasting plates’ style). Pricing wise was very appropriate considering the ingredients used for the dishes. Love to be seated at the bar where I could see the prep for the dishes. All in all I’m very impressed with everything, i.e. service, selections of food, beverage, ambiance. Thank you Cumulus Inc. for giving me a great night out. Keep it up! 👍🏻💕👍🏻💕👍🏻

Table for 2 and Maybe you review - I'm not sure how long it's going to take us to eat our way down Melbourne's iconic food strip, Flinders Lane, but it's going to be one mouth-watering journey.
We crossed another venue off the list recently with dinner at Andrew McConnell's Cumulus Inc.
Like some of the other popular venues in the Lane, you can't book (unless you've got a group of 7-14), so don't turn up at busy times and expect to get a table.
We went on a Saturday night and had to wait for about 15 minutes, but were kept regularly informed of progress by the excellent staff.
The menu is a mix of smaller share plates and larger dishes, which can also be shared.
We started with some succulent oysters and followed with charred haloumi in honey - which I thought was a little sweet but Vicki enjoyed.
We normally order different mains, but I was keen for the slow roasted lamb shoulder with almonds and smoked paprika which is a two-person plate ($74) ... Vicki was happy to oblige.
Like the service, the lamb was exceptional, especially when combined with serves of roast potatoes, confit garlic and sage, and also cos lettuce and nashi pear dressing - both ($8).
It's certainly worth mentioning the wine list which was one of the most comprehensive we've come across.
Throw in a great atmosphere and you've certainly got all the ingredients for another memorable night out in Flinders Lane.
Well worth it's reputation. Every course was well executed, innovative and delicious, and serving sizes were great. The cauliflower and the cod soup were standouts. Wine list was also very excellent, as was the service and
ambience.
Cumulus offered such an amazing dining experience. We ordered several amazing dishes which were appropriately priced - some of my favourites were the ricotta pie, tuna tartare, lamb shoulder, and roasted potatoes! Staff were friendly and attentive and sitting at the bar allowed us to see the amazing cooking action that took place in the kitchen. The cocktails were also zingy and refreshing. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back again!
Such a buzzing place, always booked out. Unfortunately we walked in without a booking in advance so we sat at the bar. But it was still fun since it was a VIP seat to watch the live action in the kitchen. Alcoholic drinks were strong which I liked😛
Staffs did not forget about us and kept coming back to us to make sure we are okay. The portion of the food is what you would expect from a fancy restaurant like this- definitely no more than a kfc lunch box meal in portion but it surely tingled my taste buds with the new taste 😋
My Rating: 4.5I used to enjoy visiting Cumulus Inc, it’s always packed with lively atmosphere. But its been such a long time since I last visited, I wasn’t sure if the quality of food was still the same. But that was all put to rest. Food was yummy and I was happy to eat their famous madeleine.🔆LOCATION🔆Cumulus Inc is situated on Flinders Lane, between Spring and Exhibition Street next to Wilson’s Car Park. The café/restaurant has high ceiling with lots of natural lighting. 🔆SERVICE🔆Customer service here are very efficient. We were given menu and water promptly and 🔆MENU/PRICE🔆Smoked salmon croque monsieur, $21.00Shakshouka – baked eggs with roasted peppers & shanklish, $23.00Madeleine (lemon curd), $5.00 eachOrange Juice, $7.00🔆VERDICT🔆I thoroughly enjoyed the smoked salmon croquet monsieur. It was made really well. My friends shakshouka was full of flavour.We specifically came here to have their lemon curd madeleine. We ordered three, so we could have 1 each and share the third.
Had the chef's selection, absolutely amazing.
Everything was just heavenly. What an experience. Delicious range of food. Quick and very friendly service. Would highly recommend it. We went there for an early lunch on sunday and just loved it.
Always busy - not 100% sure whether it's worth the wait
FABULOUS
Cumulus Inc is another good example of what a fine diner should be. Good food. Nice Ambience. Awesome Vibe.
Vegan friendly, and Expensive....And Romantic (but not when it turns too Noisy).
Could have chosen to knock-out 1 for not-so-friendly service but then it wasn't too bad. A smile or a few second banter would definitely add an extra charm to the whole experience.
I now know why after travelling past this establishment for awhile.. That burning question was always there.. Why is it always full of people all day and night. Well after waiting half an hour to get a table.. I now know why.. This place is just great.. Food, Service and Ambiance. You walk away after having a great coffee and very friendly service and all this with a really good meal. Love the buzz... Well worth the wait for a great start to the day.
New favourite Modern Australian/European restaurant!
🤤Rock oysters
🤤Pan fried ricotta gnocchi, pinenuts & pickled currants
😪Roast potatoes, horseradish & summer savoury
🤤Snapper, mussels, leeks & sea spray
🤤Sirloin steak & mushroom broth
📌 Highly recommend the oysters, gnocchi and the snapper
Do not recommend the roast potatoes (too salty and oily, very average flavour)
