About the restaurant

It's perfect for dinner with flair—Asian fusion that twists modern Australian with clever plating
You need to try the ARU signature 14-day dry aged duck
Look out for a playful dining experience in a moody, semi‑divided space filled with soft lighting

Tucked away on Little Collins St in Melbourne's CBD lies a dining adventure of refined modern cuisine in a cosy space known as Aru. No detail is overlooked, with Aru designed using light timber furnishings and an impressive wooden fireplace. The narrow dining space brings diners close to the action looking on into the bustling theatre of the open kitchen. Details are what also make the dishes look like art on the plate. Experience combinations like Moreton Bay bug fried rice with spiced crayfish oil and bottarga and the shorthorn short rib with rendang paste and bone marrow jus.
