A beautiful restaurant in Crown Casino overlooking the Yarra river, Silks is a must try if you are a fan of Chinese cuisine. The food is delicious and very authentic, further accentuated by fresh ingredients. It’s always a pleasure dining here, despite the price (trust me, it’s worth it!).
Quality Chinese cuisine with a view!
The high ceilings and windows provided a wonderful open atmosphere with a spectacular view of the Yarra river.
Enjoyed great dining experience thanks to lovely and attentive staff.
The cocktail menu is rather impressive with so many I wanted to try. The highlight would definitely be the trio dumplings, in particular the scallop dumpling. The sautéed lobster with egg was definitely unique and tasteful, and of course my favourite also was the Peking duck which was very tender.
Thank you for a great experience.
If you’re wanting to eat Cantonese in Melbourne, go here. Vastly superior to Flower Drum, with a nice view overlooking the water and a relaxed unhurried atmosphere. The crab meat and egg drop corn soup was flavoursome, served at the right temperature and a very good commencement. The lobster spring rolls were fantastic, serving as a very good accompaniment. Moving on, the honey mustard crispy pork and marinated bbq octopus were served and the taste was nice, be aware the octopus is served cold and the pork is served lukewarm. The highlights for me were both main courses, comprising the black Angus tenderloin with sautéed spinach in black bean and the scallops enrobed in prawn mince. The beef was cooked to perfection whilst the black bean wasn’t overpowering. The scallops were just fantastic and a must order. The meal was finished with a typical banana fritter which didn’t go astray, and the Piero SSB was a nice bottle to have along with the meal. Great way to spend an unhurried lunch or dinner overlooking the Yarra from Level 1.
