Longsong

Melbourne


Above venerable Thai restaurant Longrain is Longsong, housed in what was once a 1900s horse stable. There are four-person punch bowls, Asian-inflected cocktails and local wine on tap. On the bar side you can eat skewers beneath huge windows, while the dining room shares the soaring ceilings and serves more substantial dishes.
