To book the perfect private room for your function, you should start looking at least several months in advance. This way, you'll have time to compare options and find the best deal. Also, many of our most popular restaurants fill up quickly, so be sure to secure your reservation as soon as possible, ideally between 8 to 6 weeks in advance.
When looking for the best restaurants with private dining rooms in Melbourne it’s good to do some research from well-known sources with credible reviews. These are sure to give you a good idea of the type of service and quality to expect. Check out some of our favourites:
- The Aviary Hotel - Located in Little Saigon, it offers a beautiful private space with a vintage flair. It will be perfect for any type of affair - from business meetings to birthday celebrations.
- The George on Collins - This spacious cellar will impress your guests with beautiful, elegant decor and delicious menu options.
No, they are not! We know that it may be a bit confusing, so here’s our short explanation:
Semi-private dining room - This type of room is not fully private. You’ll be sitting in the main dining area, separated from other food-enjoyers with a thin wall or a curtain. This can add charm to the whole event experience, or it may affect your event if you really want to enjoy yourself in peace.
Private dining room - This type of room offers complete privacy. You’ll have a separate room only to yourselves, which means you won’t be disturbed by any noise coming from the main dining room. It’s the perfect option for anyone who’d like to celebrate in a much-needed privacy.
Take some time to decide which option works best for your event, and then start browsing.

Best Spots for Private Dining in Melbourne
You can find private dining rooms all across Melbourne, with standout options in popular areas like the CBD, South Yarra, St Kilda and beyond.
- Melbourne CBD - This is where you’ll find Melbourne’s most popular private dining rooms. Think plush interiors, skyline views, and everything from high-end degustation menus to cozy rooms tucked inside multicultural eateries. It’s ideal for work events, formal dinners, or birthday nights that call for a little glamour.
We recommend: Bossley Bar & Restaurant just off the Paris end of Collins Street and walking distance from Federation Square. - Eastern Suburbs - Areas like Camberwell, Balwyn and Kew offer refined dining rooms with leafy surroundings, heritage architecture, and standout service. Boroondara in particular is a favourite for intimate dinners, thanks to its blend of charming parks, boutique restaurants, and polished modern spaces.
We recommend: Omar & the Marvellous Coffee Bird in South East Melbourne. - Yarra Valley
For a private dining experience with scenic punch, Yarra Valley’s wineries and boutique resorts are hard to beat. These venues are popular for birthday lunches, anniversary dinners, and group wine tastings—especially in warmer months. Just over an hour from the city, it’s a top pick for something out of the ordinary.
We recommend: Olinda Tea House located in the Dandenong Ranges on the edge of the valley.
- Port Phillip (St Kilda, Albert Park)
If beachside dining is more your style, Port Phillip delivers relaxed venues with water views and open-air options. Private dining rooms here often feature balconies, seafood menus, and flexible hire packages for sunset dinners or laid-back celebrations.
We recommend: The Tipsy Cow in Port Melbourne situated not far from the St Kilda foreshore
Tips for Booking Restaurants with Private Dining Rooms
- Menu Customisation: Not sure what to serve? Venue managers can help tailor à la carte, set menus, or shared platters to suit your event. Some even offer seasonal, special gourmet cuisine menus, or diet-specific packages.
- Corkage & Licensing: Want to BYO wine? Ask about corkage fees or whether the venue is fully licensed. Policies vary, and it's best to clarify this upfront.
- Event Styling: Many Melbourne venues allow decor customisation. Bring your own flowers, colour schemes, or even custom name cards for a polished finish.
