With a menu dominated by the flavours of Thailand, Executive Chef Adam Woodfield (ex-Chin Chin) and his team present dishes full of the richness of their origins such as Twice Cooked Pork Belly, Kao Soi Chicken Curry, Two Rice Fried Rice and Coconut Braised Beef.

Salted Egg is a cosy yet lively space in the New York end of the Melbourne CBD, perfect for date nights, celebrations of all types or even just a place to hide away with some soul-nourishing food. We always recommend a visit to our sister 27 stories above too, The Q Rooftop Bar for pre (and after) dinner cocktails...

    We had the $79 person set menu which had a wonderful selection from the a la carte menu - perfect introduction to Salted Egg. Impossible to name which was our favourite as they were all beautifully executed. Service was attentive. Fantastic experience

    We recently dined at Salted Egg in the Quincy Hotel, Melbourne, opting for their $69 Tasting Menu. The experience was exceptional. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the food was a delightful journey through Southeast Asian flavors. The Tasting Menu featured four courses, allowing us to sample a variety of dishes. Each course was thoughtfully prepared, showcasing the chef’s expertise in blending traditional and modern culinary techniques. The portions were generous, ensuring we left fully satisfied. The ambiance of Salted Egg added to the overall enjoyment, providing a comfortable and inviting setting for our meal. For anyone seeking a memorable dining experience in Melbourne, I highly recommend the $69 Tasting Menu at Salted Egg.

    Food is great. Service shocking. Ordered a drink and had to walk up to the bar twice to check on it 20 mins later. Lead waiter appeared to be leaning against the counter most of the time. Food deliver was working overtime to get meals out. Terrible service. Great food.

    We had a combination of the smaller plates for lunch paired with a nice wine and it was lovely. It was a delightful fusion of flavours.

    Party of 4, food and drink $350. Dissapointed to say the least, 5 smalls and 3 large meals, food certainly didn't match the cost. One of our party can only handle a small level of chilli. Spoke to the waitress about chilli levels, on her recommendation selected food which supposedly had little to no chilli, or the chilli sauce could be put to the side. First dish Pomelo Betel Leaf bloody near killed her, fished through the dish and found enough sliced chilli to make half a Thai Birdseye. A couple of us had the Duck Betel Leaf, funny enough it was made up with the same sauce and chilli garnish as the Pomelo. Second dish, chicken skewers served stone cold.Pretty poor, not a good start compared to your Google rating. Spoke to the waitress concerning both incidents. Other dishes such as prawns and pork belly were dry. We did recieve another plate of chicken skewers though, warm this time. If your going to charge top price please serve top class food. Ex Melbournite visiting with friends who's a little embarrassed.
