About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Healthy
  • Neighborhood gem
Located on the iconic Little Bourke Street in the Melbourne CBD, The Crane Restaurant is one of those places that everyone knows, loves and has visited too many times to count. Serving up honest and no-frills Chinese fare, The Crane Restaurant boasts a menu packed with dishes including scallops baked in a butter and black pepper sauce; spicy Szechuan noodles served with minced pork and duck cooked with chilli in a clay pot. This extensive menu alongside some of the friendliest service in town makes this one of Melbourne’s most relaxed and casual dining spots, so book yourself in for a meal to remember – you won’t be disappointed.

    Extensive menu and excellent service. The food came out quickly and was served hot. If you don’t like your food too spicy, I’d recommend checking the chilli content before ordering. Overall, definitely worth a visit.
