Aru

Aru is a one-hat Melbourne restaurant and former Victorian restaurant of the year serving Asian-influenced dishes with a modern Australian inflection. Come for the playful signatures - the duck sausage sanga and pate en croute with flavours of banh mi. Don't leave without a taste of what they are known for - the 14-day, dry-aged duck, finished over the wood-fired hearth. With intimate booths, cosy tables for two and bar seats with views into the kitchen, the dining room offers a spot for you - whatever the occasion. Settle in, peruse the extensive wine list, and let the staff guide you on a dining experience that embraces the warmth of hospitality in Melbourne.
