A nice, spacious, and cozy Indonesian restaurant here in Melbourne with both indoor and outdoor dining area are available. As an Indonesian living in Melbourne, I am so happy with Living Stone restaurant as it serves good flavor of Indonesian food. Highly recommended. The grilled fish with Jimbaran sauce is amazingly delish, not too spicy which is suitable for those who couldn’t bear spices and chilies. The pork ribs is also delicious, it comes with sweet soy sauce which cure my longing. We also ordered Balinese pork fried rice which I recommend. The restaurant has lots of seats, and because of its huge space, it is considered quiet even when there are lots of people. It gives a chill and relax vibe, also we can enjoy some dessert from reverie and ice cream selection from Kori.

Loved the food at Livingstone Melbourne! My faves were the grilled barramundi, pork belly, and oxtail, all super tasty, full of flavour, and tasted really authentic. Chill vibe and definitely worth checking out if you’re after a solid, satisfying meal.

Great place for brunch! Plenty of seating and a good menu Ordered… 1) Breakfast Burrito with Chicken - 5/5 (it was super delicious. The chicken was crispy and tender) 2) Fried chicken burger - 4/5 (it comes with 2 chicken patties. Were a bit oily but nice and crispy, and the best part it comes with chips AND onion rights) 3) Lychee Lemonade - 4/5 (was a bit too sweet, but if u just add some salt it’ll taste so good) One AWESOMEST thing for my Indian buddies - if you are missing our Hakka Noodles, you should hv the MIE GORENG. Trust me you wont regret it!

Visited this lovely Balinese restaurant in South Yarra. The interior of this restaurant very pretty and inviting. We had the following dishes; Honey Glazed Prawns, Balinese Suckling Pig with Pork Bone Soup, Grilled Barramundi with Broccolini and Rib Eye Steak with Asparagus, Fries & Mushroom Sauce. We enjoyed all these dishes as they were packed full of flavour and spice!

Livingstone in South Yarra serves up the best mie goreng in Melbourne, legit! Packed with flavour, perfectly cooked noodles, and just the right amount of spice. Cozy atmosphere, great food, and friendly service make it an easy favourite.
