About Bacash Restaurant

Perched directly opposite the Royal Botanic Gardens, this South Yarra stalwart turns out refined, impeccably handled ocean catch. Regulars lean into the Lebanese-style snapper and charred calamari before moving on to delicate John Dory in lemon beurre blanc. Fiona Bacash steers the dining room with effortless warmth, while chef Michael Bacash often makes the rounds between tables. Upstairs accommodates private dinners for up to 30, and downstairs finishes sweet with a warm passionfruit soufflé.

  • Lebanese-influenced seafood: Chef Michael Bacash brings Levantine nuance to local catch, pairing whole fish with spiced tomato and garlic sauces.
  • Upstairs private dining: A dedicated first-floor room hosts seated gatherings and events for up to 30 guests away from the main buzz.
  • Owner-led service: Owners Fiona and Michael Bacash anchor the dining room with attentive, hands-on hospitality.
