About the restaurant
Frequented by a loyal army of Melbourne's chilli fanatics, South Yarra's Dainty Sichuan is a deceptive name for a restaurant that packs such a punch. The decor of this popular place remains keenly utilitarian, punctuated by ornate light fittings and the occasional Chinese ornament, which help liven the blandness of this two-storey space. Whilst the interiors are mild, the food on offer is completely the opposite.
