Cookie really is a Melbourne institution. It’s been around for as long as I can remember, and after years since my last visit, I decided to go back and refresh my memory. The interiors are eclectic and chaotic in the best way possible — walls plastered with posters and art, a bar with a brick base and marble top, and quirky objects (mainly books) scattered everywhere. It’s definitely a space with personality. The menu, though, can be a little overwhelming at first — both food and drinks are extensive. As a Bloody Mary fan, my choice was easy, but I’d recommend checking the menu online before you go so you’re not rushed. Luckily, we had a group of six and a helpful waitress to guide us, which made ordering much easier. Some standouts for us were the Thai herb cured Kingfish, Garlic chive dumplings, Massaman beef curry, and Chinese broccoli with crispy pork. Every dish we tried was full of flavour, but those were the real highlights. As the cuisine is Thai, expect a fair bit of spice across the menu. We were seated in a cozy corner at the back, which felt private and perfect for conversation without the usual city noise. The menu is designed for sharing, and we had plenty of food to fill us all. With two drinks each and a generous spread, we spent under $100 per person — fantastic value for the quality and variety. Cookie is vibrant, fun, and full of character — an absolute classic Melbourne dining experience.

This restaurant has such a cool vibe - the space, decor, drinks and food were just wonderful! We had to order our food at the bar, which is a bit weird, but that doesn’t deflect from the experience or the fabulous staff. The food is delicious, serves more than adequate, innovative dishes, and some great cocktails (the menu has its own ‘book’, and there is a HUGE selection of craft beers). The scallops with pomelo were superb, the betel leaf dish was a great addition, the duck pancakes were the best I’ve ever had. Everything was great - you’d be seriously missing out if you didn’t give this place a go. Thank you to the chefs and staff for a great experience ❤️

Lovely Monday lunch with friends at Cookie. The table has been booked well in advance. Service was good, lunch all foods very nice so it was atmosphere. Drink menue is large. Something to choose for everyone. We shall be back.

Came down here on a Friday night, the place was buzzing at 6pm. We ordered a variety of dumpling dishes, both vegetarian and meat versions. For the main dishes we ordered the flat noodles, red curry, beef ribs and turmeric Maryland. All the dishes were well flavoured and definitely carries the nostalgic flavour notes of their Asian (mostly Thai) origins. The fusion is clear and the flavour is well adapted to the new age Australian palette. Worthy of having a work function and a gathering. There’s so much variety to choose from you won’t be disappointed.

The food is delicious, no doubt…some really exotic dishes which their staff are happy to recommend. What I found even more exemplary, was their customer service…special shout to the wonderful girl, Khandi, who served us ever so patiently, and recommended dishes that perfectly matched our taste buds and palettes. We had a great experience overall. Will definitely go back there for more of their good food and customer service. ❤️
