Chow Down Tuesdays at Lagoon Dining

Overview

Winter dining deals are popping up all over Melbourne right now, as restaurants work hard to coax us out of our homes during these colder months. And one of our favourites is Lagoon Dining's special noodle-centric dinners — running on Tuesday, June 18, Tuesday, July 30 and Tuesday, August 20.

For these three nights only, diners can order a $50 set menu that includes four warming noodle dishes. But don't expect to find the classics here. Lagoon Dining is known for being super playful with its flavour combos, serving up clever and inventive riffs on Chinese cuisine.

The menu is likely to change a little each month, but the first Chow Down Tuesday dinner will include scissor-cut noodles with spring onions and jalapeño oil; jap chae with sweet potato noodles, soy marinated beef, red peppers and toasted sesame; mee goreng topped with squid, turmeric chicken, bean shoots and tofu puffs; and a crispy egg noodle chow mein with scallops, prawns, spring onions and red chilli.

Getting all this for just $50 is a definite bargain. But if you can't make it down on any of these days, Lagoon Dining still serves up one of Melbourne's best-value set menus every day of the week. The $78 dinner includes six to seven dishes that showcase some of the Lygon Street restaurant's greatest hits. It's an excellent intro to Lagoon Dining — our pick of one of the best restaurants in Melbourne.
