•Om Nom Kitchen & Dessert Bar's concept was an 'invitation to go to town and create intricate dessert artworks for the plate'. In doing that, the team has succeeded with flying colours (in no small part because each plate is filled with flying colours).Found within the boutique Adelphi Hotel, Om Nom is an experience that starts as soon as you walk in the door. It's a strikingly designed space, all sharp angles, bright colours, sleek decor and a modern sensibility. Of course, that's echoed on the plate, in all the almost-too-beautiful-to-eat creations by Head Chef Jo Ward.This is of course a dessert bar, so bring your sweet tooth. The morsels here are decadent, bold, intriguing, and definitely not for those on a health kick. It's also perfect for family celebrations and unique corporate functions.
Within the iconic Adelphi Hotel is the perfect place to experience an exclusive and intimate private dining experience like no other. The menu boasts the perfect combination of savoury and sweets to engage all senses, leaving you wanting mo...
ORDERED: High tea ($79.00pp) 🥪 Savoury: Gougere, pork sausage roll with seeded mustard, boudin en croute, prawn roll en croute, truffle egg sandwich, ribolitta with saffron aioli and pecorino, mushroom arancini with tarragon mayonnaise 🦢 Sweet: Entrement, carrot & walnut financier, passionfruit & coconut layer cake, salted caramel chocolate truffles, macaron, chantilly swan, scones with jam & cream REVIEW: It was a pleasant surprise to see Om Nom operating outside of dessert hours - they offer high tea at $79pp basic package without card & weekend surcharge!! 🍵 ❤ Incredibly filling selection of food. I found that anything mushroom flavoured (truffle egg sandwich & mushroom arancini) was absolutely delicious. Om Nom pulled the earthy, umami flavour of mushrooms so well! 🍄 The rest of the savoury selection were decent. From the sweets, the stand out was the chantilly swan. Unfortunately I was too full and didn't get to try everything (cry!! 😭) but the chantilly swan had an amazing lightness that was easy to consume. It had a beautiful construction that felt like I was eating a piece of art. 🎹 With the live piano playing in the background, it was an elegant place to celebrate my friend's bridal shower. The sweets tier also came out with a lovely Congratulations message. Thank you!! Atmosphere wise - great place to have a girls catch up but the lighting is a little too yellow for our liking (photos don't come out flattering).
I had dined in on Friday afternoon for dinner, ordering 2 cocktails and the tasting menu. However, it seems the standards have dropped within recent years. Honest personal ratings below. - Venue presentation/cleanliness: 9.5/10 - Cocktails: 9/10 exceptionally well presented, also tastes great. - Tasting menue starters: 8/10 good warm up for the rest of the menu if delivered correctly. - mains: 4/10 mains were Lamb Tongue and Duck Breast. When questioned if there are any unique "outside the norm" dishes on the tasting menu and we had not been informed that lamb tongue will be served, if that was the case then I would've opted for a different option. Additionally the duck breast, I know people tend to favour a medium rare approach but it wouldve been nice to ask the customer of preference on how well they like the duck breast to be cooked with a recommendation by the chef. I eat duck often and this dish was subpar at best. - Dessert: 3/10 I had the Arlette, items on the dish tasted well as individual items but coming together as a dessert dish was a chaotic experience. Flavours didn't seem to compliment each other, pastry texture was so hard it could've been used as a weapon to knock someone out. Very disappointing as Om Nom was once a great dessert bar. - Service: 8/10 a few minor points could be improved but no one is perfect so overall the service was great.
The food is good but not the best high tea I’ve tried. Service was good. I especially love the live piano and the ambience of the place. Stunning design and I love that they have no Sunday surcharge 🥰
Brought my grandparents here for high tea on New Year’s Eve, the atmosphere and setting was beautiful but the service from Hayden was incredible, he made the whole experience much more enjoyable! Thanks for being a great host!
Om Nom was originally a stunning dessert bar. Was hands down my favourite in Melbourne. The last few years they have changed to a cocktail bar, and whilst I miss their uber creative desserts, I love their current flair. Have been here countless times for both their high tea and cocktails, and will continue to keep coming back
