Our story

A modern home for 粵菜 fine dining

Since 2007, Secret Kitchen has set the standard for exquisite Chinese cuisine in Melbourne. Part of the celebrated China Bar Group, our kitchens marry classic Cantonese technique with a refined, contemporary sensibility — yum cha by day, lavish seafood banquets by night.

Every basket of dim sum is 100% handmade in-house, with new dishes introduced each season so there's always something to discover. Our chefs work with the very best produce — live lobster, abalone, crab and fish straight from the tank, alongside lacquered Cantonese roast meats prepared the traditional way.

That commitment has earned a 4-star rating in The Age Good Food Guide and the title of Top Yum Cha in Melbourne from Time Out. Today you'll find us across three Melbourne venues, each pouring the same care into every dish that leaves the pass.
