Longrain Restaurant
Modern Thai Dining in Melbourne with Bold Flavours, Local Produce and Communal Dining
About Longrain Restaurant
Longrain is a vibrant modern Thai restaurant in Melbourne’s CBD, located at 44 Little Bourke Street. The restaurant brings together contemporary Thai cooking, Southeast Asian influences and fresh Australian produce in a lively setting designed around sharing, communal dining and memorable experiences.
The Longrain story began in Sydney in August 1999, when Sam Christie opened the restaurant with chef Martin Boetz. In 2005, Longrain expanded to Melbourne, establishing its Little Bourke Street location and becoming part of Melbourne’s dining scene. Today, Longrain Melbourne continues the restaurant’s distinctive approach to Thai-inspired dining while operating under Scott Pickett’s hospitality group. The original Longrain website identifies Melbourne as one of the brand’s continuing locations.
One of the defining features of Longrain is its modern interpretation of Thai cuisine. Rather than simply reproducing traditional dishes, the restaurant combines Thai recipes and flavour profiles with contemporary techniques, local Australian ingredients and broader Southeast Asian influences. The menu is designed around bold, fresh and aromatic flavours, with dishes intended to be shared across the table.
Communal dining is central to the Longrain experience. Guests can order a selection of dishes and enjoy them together, creating a relaxed social dining experience. The restaurant also offers banquet-style dining, making it suitable for groups, celebrations and occasions where guests want to experience a broad selection of the kitchen’s flavours.
Longrain’s food offering includes Thai-inspired dishes featuring seafood, meat, vegetables, curries, salads, stir-fries, rice and desserts. Menu selections change according to seasonality and ingredient availability. The restaurant also states that it can accommodate many food intolerances, although it cannot guarantee an entirely allergy-free meal environment.
The drinks program complements the restaurant’s food with Thai-inspired cocktails, wine, beer and other beverages. Longrain’s cocktail offering incorporates ingredients and flavour combinations designed to work with the restaurant’s aromatic cuisine.
The venue itself adds another dimension to the dining experience. Longrain operates within an expansive converted horse stable dating from the 1900s, creating a distinctive heritage setting in the heart of Melbourne. The venue is also designed for private events and functions, with spaces available for weddings, canapé events, intimate dinners, corporate occasions and celebrations.
Above Longrain is Longsong, the venue’s associated bar and event space. Longsong offers Thai-inspired food, cocktails, local wines and craft beers and operates as a separate destination for pre-dinner drinks, casual gatherings and selected events.
Located on Little Bourke Street in Melbourne’s CBD, Longrain is well positioned for diners looking for modern Thai cuisine, group dining, special occasions, pre-theatre meals and private functions. The restaurant welcomes walk-ins subject to availability and also accepts online reservations.
