Da Noi would have to be my all time favourite restaurant - skip the a la carte menu and just let the very talented team feed you. I've eaten here at least a couple of times a year for the past ten years and whilst you get the occasional 'miss' dish - it's pretty much spot on. The wine list... More

Da Noi is an interesting concept, but that results in something of a hit or miss experience. Unfortunately, our experience was a miss. There is no fixed menu - it depends on what the owner/chef gets off his farm or otherwise gathers. You can then decide from the highly minimal daily selection, or let chef decide what's best for you.... More

This place is just like from a fairytale about fine dining. We came in just by chance - we've liked the simple but charming exterior - no signs, but a small table just in a window and a second glance revealing tiny Italian style interior. There was no menu offered to us by the waitress, but we were offered a... More

A true find on busy Toorak Rd in South Yarra. Very friendly and helpful wait staff and chef brought out a number of the dishes with full explanations! We left the menu to chef and went with what we thought would be home cooked Tuscan or Sardinian food. We were right - more of the latter than the former. The... More

This was the third time I dined at Da Noi and I've always enjoyed an amazing experience. The restaurant is located on two floors, the lower, where the kitchen is located is very narrow, although offering a nice and warm atmosphere. The menu is limited to 3 antipasti, 3 pasta and 3 mains, although every dish listed is fantastic. You... More

We went there as part of our 10-year wedding anniversary celebration. Someone else had rung up and booked us in, and was told that there were only two sittings as they were very busy. We rang later to try and change our arrival time, and they were very accommodating. Small and intimate, rustic and busy. I wanted to be surprised... More

We were surprised we got in for dinner on a Friday night on short notice ... we called and they said come on in. Walked in off busy Toorak Rd to a small downstairs dining room which seated maybe 20 and the same upstairs (perhaps a little quieter) - the narrow staircase is very steep. It was a relatively short... More

Busy, but they fitted us in. Most people seem to go for the degustation or 'chef's menu', it seems, but we ended up choosing our own dishes. The service was excellent and the food was one of those experiences where every dish was packed with flavour, excuse the cliche. Pricey but worth it. Will definitely be going back for the... More
