If you want a taste of some DELICIOUS Modern Australian food with a Spanish influence, Gourmet Kitchen has you covered! They also run cooking classes so you can get hands on in the kitchen too!
We Ordered:
???? Tuna Ceviche
???? Kataifi Wrapped Prawns
???? Jamon & Manchego Croquettes
???? Patatas Bravas
???? Crispy Calamari
???? Chicken & Chorizo Paella
???? Ruby Choc & Raspberry Dome
???? Fig Spritz
???? Winter Pimms Punch
Started the afternoon right with two of their classic cocktails containing liquor sourced from Australian distilleries and some items off their tapas menu. The tuna ceviche was so fresh and the home made bomba rice crisps gave it a nice crunch. The kataifi wrapped prawns also had a beautiful exterior crunch and were super plump and juicy. The jamon and manchego croquettes left us speechless - generous pieces of aged ham, embedded in the softest potato mash, so simple but so well done! The patatas bravas were fried to perfection with a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, paired with a spicy tomato sauce ???? The calamari was fresh, lightly dusted and fried and wasn’t overly oily, but still had a beautiful crunch. For mains we shared a chicken and chorizo paella, perfectly cooked and seasoned - every mouthful was a flavour explosion!! Already pretty stuffed, we soldiered on to end with something sweet - the ruby chocolate set. The ruby moose within the dome had a creamy texture to it and paired well with the pistachio dacquiose base. The raspberry coulis cut through the sweetness of the dish and the ruby macaroons were a nice addition. Please do yourselves a favour and visit Gourmet Kitchen for a meal, you won’t regret it! You can also check out their cooking classes, where they teach you to make a variety of cuisines in their commercial kitchen. Cannot recommended this gem of a place enough, definitely underrated and should be more well known! read less Melb.foodiary8/09/2022 - We were gifted a red balloon voucher quite some time ago and had so much trouble deciding on what to... read moreWe were gifted a red balloon voucher quite some time ago and had so much trouble deciding on what to do.

In order to make a final decision, we wanted to try out the food first. What we experienced was amazing food and hospitality which made our decision to go with GK much easier.
Our wonderful experience with GK didn’t stop there. Once we made the decision, we met Laura (owner of the business) to plan out the menu, to discuss the set up of the venue and determine the proceedings of the day. She was just incredible and generous with her time, flexibility and input.
On the day of our reception everything from staff to food made the night the most memorable. Food was top notch and everyone in the venue was welcoming. Even to date everyone (including the kids who attended) still talk about the tasty food. I think Laura and her team not only made our special day - VERY special, she has also earned loyal fans of GK’s food.
Thank you Laura, Graeme and Gourmet Kitchen team!!!!

I first came here last year for my hen's day where Laura led us through a high tea cooking class! Not only was it so much fun, but we also got to eat what we created (the best part)! We love the experience so much that my cousin and I vowed we would come back to try the rest of their menu.
Finally last night we were able to visit again. My cousin is vegetarian, so we ordered the vegan paella banquet. My goodness it was filling, satisfying and utterly delicious! I can't say I missed having meat at all! We had so much food that we even packed the leftovers to take away!
Everything was popping with flavours, but the dish that delighted me the most was the bird's nest. There was something special about the crispiness of the strands and mix of caramelised onions and root vegetables that just blended so perfectly together.

Ours included the kataifi-wrapped prawns (they were kind enough to swap the original option since I can’t have tuna ceviche), crispy calamari, spiced lamb ribs and seafood paella.

The restaurant proposed a very nice selection of local wines (a lot of vegan options) and also a good list of cocktails made with local Australian alcohol.

I was super impressed at how easy it was to enjoy such delicious dishes from the comfort of my home, all we had to do was heat everything in the oven for 15 minutes.
Firstly, the spiced carrot croquettes was unlike anything I'd seen before which made me very curious how they tasted. They were okay, nothing exciting and a little under seasoned - the chilli jam on the side was definitely needed.
The mushroom parcels were really tasty and I loved the pinenuts! The ricotta cakes and baked cauliflower were amazing dishes too and something I would definitely order again.

I have eaten at this restaurant twice. The first was a Christmas work party. The owner Laura and her team worked so hard to make it a wonderful night.
Laura worked closely with myself over the space of a couple of weeks to put together a Christmas style menu with specific dietry requirements which included gluten free, vegetarian and vegan! No easy task!
Not only did Laura accommodate this but she also kindly added a gluten free bread and butter pudding to the menu at my request. It was delicious!
Laura had allocated the back area which has its own sliding doors. This area is used for her cooking school which I must book a lesson for myself. This made it feel we had our own venue. Their was bluetooth speakers which allowed to play our own festive music.
We had booked a 3 hour bar which was to consist of soft drinks, beer, cider, wines, sparking wine and coctail jugs. On arrival our area was decorated beautifully and tables set up with our drinks which we could just help ourselves to. This was in addition to their team continuously topping up the bubbles and coctails.
The food was set up as roaming dishes which were amazing! One of my team on the night informed them that she was halal and they just whipped her up something different which said tasted amazing. This was truly impeccable service!
My second visit was with a friend who I had not seen for several months due to the 1st covid 19 lockdown. We shared the lamb shoulder with several sides which we could not get enough of! This was washed down with a bottle of red and a yummy mango parfait and signature ruby chocolate mousse.

Due to the current covid 19 situation the pleasure of my first meal at this restaurant has been through Uber eats.
The food is lovely. Only downside, due to the steam that is let off from being freshly cooked food, it was soggy by the time it had arrived. However still tasted amazing and just made me crave the experience I would have had in the restaurant.
The croquettes were still slight crispy and so good.
The pork was soft and tender with a slight crunch on the skin still. The semi freddo was the highlight (although very solid!).
Will order again and will visit once we are out of lock down.

We had to change the date we’d booked initially however this was sorted quickly without fuss. The school is easy to get to being opposite the Moonee Ponds train station and the kitchen was very clean with good, modern facilities. Instructor Laura was very knowledgeable and made the class a lot of fun for the ten of us attending. We cooked a variety of tapas dishes including Jamon croquettes - amongst the best I’ve had! - meatballs with sherry, calamari, and other. Gourmet Kitchen also has a restaurant out front which wasn’t open on the night, which was actually good as we got to cook in an actual restaurant kitchen. After a break to taste our tapas it was onto the main course of two paella dishes plus salads, which we then got to sample. A very nice sangria recipe was also on our list, which we made and got to enjoy as well. We got simple, comprehensive recipe notes including a few extras to try at home. Laura gave plenty of good tips and shortcuts as well. Recommended - but go hungry! read less Damian Mansour2/17/2020

The food was simply amazing- to the point where guests were Googling how to make their own versions of the dishes served in between courses. The staff were friendly and attentive and made the guest of honour feel very special indeed. Rather than wait until the next function rolls around, my husband and I are going to head to Gourmet Kitchen and use their tapas night as our next date night! read less Marina Holmes2/11/2020The pasta making class was great much better than I expected.

We also took packages of pasta home. It was very well organised and the small group meant everyone was involved. read less Debbie Peynenborg2/10/2020
