Located in Melbourne’s historic Fitzroy Gardens on Wurundjeri Country, Yiaga takes an innovative, context-responsive approach that reflects the City of Melbourne and our southern island home.

Our ever-evolving menu and beverage program celebrate Australia through its farmers, fishers, growers, makers, artists, and creatives. The restaurant sits gently within the heritage park, crafted almost entirely from Australian materials and traditions of local craft.

Founded by Hugh Allen, Yiaga is the sum of many diverse talents shaping each guest experience. We look forward to welcoming you to dine beneath the century-old elm trees in the Gardens.

A credit card is required to secure all bookings. No charge will be made at the time of reservation. Please note:

  • Cancellations or amendments must be made at least 72 hours (3 days) in advance.
  • Cancellations within this window will incur a charge of AU$295 per guest, as our menu is prepared specially for each party.
  • If your party size reduces within the 72-hour period, we will do our best to reseat you at a smaller table (subject to availability). Same-day reductions cannot be refunded or credited.

Please note: Yiaga is a cashless venue, and we only accept card payments.

We kindly ask that all dietary requirements or allergies are noted at the time of booking for the whole party. With advance notice, we are delighted to accommodate:

  • Vegetarian
  • Pescatarian

Due to the intricacy of our multi-course experience, we may not be able to tailor dishes to every dietary requirement. At this time, we are unable to provide a menu free from both dairy and eggs. If your requirements involve significant menu changes, we recommend contacting us at reservations@yiaga.au prior to booking.

While we take the utmost care in preparation, please be aware that cross-contamination cannot be fully eliminated in our shared kitchen. Dietary requests not communicated in advance may not be possible to accommodate on the day.

We warmly welcome children who are able to fully partake in our regular menu. However, due to the duration and nature of the experience, it may not be suitable for young kids. Kindly note due to space limitations we are unfortunately unable to accommodate prams and highchairs within our dining space.

Yiaga is fully wheelchair accessible. We provide accessible and ambulant restroom facilities for our guests. Please let us know of any accessibility needs when booking so we can ensure the smoothest experience possible.

Yiaga is located in Fitzroy Gardens at 230-298 Wellington Parade, East Melbourne.
