If you have guests in town or need to make a quick reservation for an informal business dinner, Taxi is always a good choice. It provides high quality food and does so consistently.

Since our first visit to Taxi where they squeezed us in without bookings we have always enjoyed our visits to this modern restaurant. The wine list is a positive novel and the food is interesting with an East meets West influence.

The food at Taxi certainly lives up to it's reputation. My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary and started the meal with sushi and sushimi.....fresh, melt in your mouth tuna.....great flavours. The pork for main was delicious....tender and surrounded with crackle....my husband had the duck.....cooked to perfection with a sweet sauce! We shared a white mousse with a nut... More

From the moment we walked into the restaurant the service was impeccable. The maitre'd was friendly and polite and quickly had us settled at our table. Our waiter, was again, very polite, efficient and friendly. He didn't miss a beat when telling us the specials for the evening, right down to each dish's fine details. Whilst the restaurant didn't have... More

Went to Taxi with a local from Melbourne. Impressive location and great views of Flinders and Yarra. The setting is great for a business dinner, catching up with friends or a special evening. We had reserved ahead (have to) and were immediately seated at a table by the windows. My first observation was that the table was bigger than what... More

We were given a degustation dinner for two for Christmas and went in April. Great venue overlooking Princes Bridge in the heart of Melbourne. Excellent menu - seven interesting and delicious dishes.

Without doubt one of the best restaurants in Melbourne. Have been many times and love the degustation. The food is always amazing; excellent quality and presentation and, did I mention how good it tastes! If you are planning on having the degustation menu, be prepared for a pleasurably long evening. The atmosphere is also very good, as are the staff.

The food is exceptional and there is no doubting that. Exceptional location, views. But is was a Friday night and the place was not packed? And it should have been? Our table was over serviced, I mean, how many times do you need to be interrupted by waiting staff? It took several goes to find a find that was on... More
