Experience the Ultimate in Private Dining at Some of Crown’s Most Highly Acclaimed Restaurants
Crown Melbourne is meeting the growing demand from corporate and leisure markets for individually tailored dining experiences with the ultimate selection of private dining options at some of its most highly acclaimed restaurants.
Each restaurant offers a tantalising selection of new private dining menus, served in elegant and intimate dining spaces, combined with attentive, dedicated table service to create truly memorable private functions. An increasingly popular choice for intimate meals, special occasions and corporate meetings, Crown’s private dining spaces can accommodate small groups of up to 30 people in some of the resort’s leading restaurants including Nobu Melbourne, Bistro Guillaume and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal.
“We are noticing lately that both the corporate and leisure markets are preferring smaller bespoke dining experiences to entertain their guests, whether it’s for a private special occasion or an important business meeting”, says Mark Holmes, Crown Melbourne’s Executive General Manager of Food & Beverage. In 2015, private dining bookings at Crown Melbourne increased by 18% from the previous year.
In response to the increased demand for private dining options, Crown has added beautifully designed spaces along with sumptuous new menus which include everything from Heston Blumenthal’s famous meat fruit and Nobu’s signature Japanese delicacies, to world class teppanyaki at Koko and French favourites at Bistro Guillaume.
The inviting range of private dining spaces is available at Crown restaurants including:
Nobu Melbourne
Renowned for innovative Japanese fusion, guests at Nobu’s private dining room will be treated to an ambience of refined elegance complete with a striking overhead artwork and a selection of menus that perfectly showcase Nobu’s signature Japanese cuisine. Nobu’s private dining room can be reserved for an intimate gathering of four up to a maximum of 12 people.
