Kevin BirchallJuly 9, 2014Fantastic menu... too many good dishes to mention. We had a table of 4 for lunch and the waiter offered to do his favorite selection of dishes for us to share- best decision ever. Highly recommendUpvote2Downvote
Tom LuceyJune 18, 2014Oysters here are next level. Steak tartare to die for. Also don't miss Hanoi spring rolls. They are a very legit ode to northern 'nam. Located in a basement, Coda is one of Melbourne's foodie gems.Upvote1Downvote- K WMay 14, 2017A Vietnamese/ French fusion place, a wide selection of small+ large dishes to share. Between 4people~ ordering 6-7 dishes were filling. I would highly recommend the betel leaf and duck curry!UpvoteDownvote
Chris KedFebruary 6, 2016Everything is amazing. Make sure you get lots of smaller dishes to taste. Dessert was Devine. Great wine list too. Highly recommended.
UpvoteDownvote- Tiki PFebruary 3, 2017The satay lamb cutlets & the steak tartare are must haves. Leave room for dessert - great flavour & texture combos - they know what they're doing.
