Iconic Cantonese restaurant in Melbourne's Chinatown, offering first class Cantonese cuisine.
Recommended by Andrew McConnell
In 1975, Gilbert Lau established The Flower Drum in Chinatown on Little Bourke Street. What started as a modest aspiration to offer quality Cantonese cuisine to the people in Australia swiftly evolved into one of Melbourne's premier restaurants. Gilbert's unwavering commitment to excellence, both personally and among his staff, facilitated the successful entry of Cantonese cuisine into the competitive Australian food market.
