This is fast becoming my favourite night out in Melbourne, especially when the live jazz is playing. Omnia somehow takes the traditional South Yarra dining experience and modernises it, whilst taking it to a whole new level. The setting is fresh with towering ceilings, greenery, natural light by day, a gorgeous bar and huge, whimsical David Bromley artworks. Staff are some of Melbourne’s best. Warm, professional and knowledgeable. The A Team. The menu is exceptional and every dish I have eaten there is a treat and of a global standard. Bar snacks are adorably presented with stunning colours and texture. As much art as flavour. The scotch egg was out of this world. The best I’ve had anywhere. Celery, salsa verde, parmesan custard & lavosh was also a big wow. The cucumber martini was brilliant as well. The duck for two is one of the best on offer in Australia and includes a duck pie and some of the best, most tender duck with crispy skin. Staff bring it out before it is carved up adding a bit of theatre. Wines by the glass were brilliant -many French which I love but the list is very global. The night was there, sophisticated live jazz music just topped it off. I just can’t wait to get back there. For me the bar snacks and drinks were a 10. So rare to find that anywhere in Australia right now.

I have thoroughly enjoyed taking both clients and my family to Omnia Bistro for lunch or dinner. The food is divine, you must try the ocean trout cigars and the famous duck! The service is fantastic, and staff are very knowledgeable. I highly recommend visiting whatever the occasion might be. Love this venue.

We had an outstanding evening at Omnia for a special dinner. The service was fantastic, Nina and all the other staff looked after us so well and were so knowledgeable about the food. The food was exquisite - highlights were the honey roasted duck, carrots, sourdough with whipped butter and cheesecake. Would absolutely return for more - the flavours were so clever and moreish. Attention to detail was *chefs kiss*. Can’t recommend enough for a suave meal out.

A South Yarra gem. The duck here is cooked to perfection with crispy skin that cracks just like glass with each bite. Wednesday's are even better during winters with live jazz music. An overall excellent venue with great food, service and ambiance. A must visit.

I Great atmosphere and delicious food at Omnia. The service was warm and attentive, and I really enjoyed the overall dining experience. Definitely a place I’d come back to again!

Jazz night is a must to try!. Nina attended us. in general the staff was friendly and very professional. She in particular had many details with us and was attentive throughout the night. On the other hand, the flavours in the dishes were magnificent, for me the desserts are unmissable! We will definitely return

We went on a Wednesday night for my daughter’s birthday. The place was busy for a Wednesday night. Jazz music was playing which made the place felt cozy. The service was implacable from the minute we walked in till we left the restaurant. The food was amazingly delicious! We ordered some small dishes like the sourdough bread, steak tartare, ‘cigars’, scotch eggs, kingfish as our entrees. The dry aged duck, steaks, potato rosti and green beans as our main. We had liquid centre cheesecake, chocolate tarte and pavlova for dessert. They ran out of their tarte tatin, the chef gave a complimentary fruit platter as an apology. That was a nice touch! Thank you Omnia, we will be back for more!
