The Venue

Since opening its doors in November 2019, Lagoon Dining has established itself as one of Melbourne’s most revered eateries. The brainchild of long-term collaborators Chris Lerch and Keat Lee, the restaurant offers contemporary East Asian-inspired fare, a gutsy yet approachable wine list and seasonal cocktails amongst a sea of typically European venues in Carlton. The duo’s persistence has been rewarded with multiple accolades. In 2022 Lagoon was crowned winner of the delicious.100 People’s Choice Awards, has been wearing a Good Food hat with pride since 2023 and was included in Gourmet Traveller’s Top 25 Victorian restaurants in 2024 and 2025. Lagoon Dining is a place for friends, flavour and fun.
