Tucked behind the much-perused High Street, Prahran is the Asian inspired eatery serving up more than just an insta-worthy goldmine of classic Japanese feasts.
From a go-to lunch location, to an all you can eat Japanese dinner menu, Grand Lafayette is the Asian-inspired eatery that does it different. From Freakii signature sushi to Raindrop Cakes, sipped with spiked Kombucha Spritz cocktails on the ready. Drinks range from traditional saké to mimosa poison, culminating fine food with a Melbournian twist. We recommend entering empty bellied.
Think bottomless, melt in you’re mouth (seriously) Salmon Tataki with green tomato, passion fruit and dill to please any hungry belly. Classic agedashi tofu with yuzi chilli, slow braised beef bao by the pair and baked chilli-garlic scallops that will settle any seafood lover – there’s truly something for everyone. I’m not drooling, you are.
The extra large ‘Freakshii’ signature freaky sushi rolls are filled with panko prawn maki, cucumber, sweet mayo and covered on sakura flakes and lotus chips. With food that tastes as good as it looks, you’re guaranteed an epic gram’ and an even better feed.
Dessert for those that have room for more, try their coveted Raindrop Cake – ideal for anyone who has truly tried it all. The highly sought out agar ‘raindrop’ is sweetened in the ultimate quad of toppings – mint, brown sugar, matcha or rose for your choosing. Can’t decide? Try them all.
Grand Lafayette has teamed up with Toorak’s dessert hub Luxbite for some festive desserts and cocktails to ring in the New Year. Our top picks are the vanilla tart pastry ‘Wreath’ filled with whipped jasmine tea infused white chocolate ganache, uji matcha cream, candied orange peel and calamansi jelly. Pairing perfectly with the Gin-gle Bell cocktail infused with lavender and Echinacea flower. Available for a limited time only, sip on this ASAP.
Grand Lafayette is serving up the delectable, all you can eat Japanese six nights a week to fuel any festivity. Or, come for the daytime offerings in the much coveted lunch menu. Come empty-bellied for all you can eat Japanese, as you don’t know it. Book in your next feed here.
