Amaru

the verdict

Masterminded by Clinton McIver, ex-Vue de Monde sous chef and one of Melbourne's brightest up-coming culinary stars, Amaru in Armadale is an incredible fine dining experience to be found in Melbourne's southside. With no attention to detail spared, the relaxed, resolved space is home to 33 seats at which diners can enjoy a mouth-watering 13-course degustation, or an abbreviated lunch menu, both of which promise to include some of the city's finest delicacies.

While the food and drinks menu borrows from some of Melbourne's most luxurious establishments, the vibe is decidedly more relaxed—something that the Amaru team pride themselves on. Whether it's a decadent date, a spot of celebratory indulgence, or simply a damn good night out, Amaru ticks all of our food-loving boxes.
