Best Filipino Restaurants in Docklands, Melbourne

Great set menu, reasonably priced, fantastic service!

Perched above @askal.melb in the CBD, @inuman.melb Cocktail Bar is Melbourne’s first dedicated Filipino-inspired cocktail bar. The name “Inuman” comes from the Tagalog word for a drinking session and that’s exactly the energy here: shared plates, flowing drinks, and great vibes. Their $65 “Sips & Snacks” session from 5pm–8:30pm includes two hours of free-flowing beers, wines and spritzes paired with a delicious grazing menu, making it one of the best excuses to stay out a little longer. The food we had: • Boy Bawang, Salt & Vinegar saltbush (tasty crunchy corn snack) • Hot Fries with Masarap seasoning & 7000-Island sauce (some of the best hot chips around!) • Pad De Melbourne & Latik butter (Just fill my veins with this 🤣 omg the most delicious bread I’ve had in my life!) • Chicken & Mushroom Siomai, Toyomansi, Pinipig chilli crisp (Filipino dumplings?! HELL YES…honestly didn’t want to share with the parents 💀🤣) • Crispy Fried Duck Leg “nuggets” with Banana Ketchup (Addictively delicious!) The staff were super friendly, great R&B/Hip-Hip/House music playing on the speakers, drinks were flowing and the food was absolutely delicious (I’m still dreaming about the Pan De Melbourne & Latik Butter…* insert Homer Simpson drool GIF here* 🤤😂) Took my parents here last Saturday and we all enjoyed ourselves so much. Highly recommend you visit Inuman, such an awesome spot in the CBD!

Palay exceeded our expectations! I wish the serving for main meal was a bit bigger though for the price. The drinks we ordered were 10/10! We'd definitely be back in the future. Thanks for elevating the Pinoy food scene Palay team. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food was so good and very well presented. Customer service was outstanding. Would definitely come back to this place. Love the experience.
