Longrain makes top notch Thai cuisine with a fun flair. As most people mention in reviews, and what perhaps stands out most about the place is that all the seeting is communal. Long tables to be shared with complete strangers. One thing that everyone at the table will have in common however is that they are digging in to some... More

Having eaten at Longrain in Sydney we wondered if Melbourne could match ? Arriving at 8 we were told the wait would be about 45 mins to an hour. The atmosphere looked really good and we felt like Thai tonight so we put our names down and retreated across the road to Punch Lane for a quiet drink and catch... More

The food is amazing and not your usual western Thai food. Highly recommend the cocktail list. Atmosphere is great and service is 1st class. Will definitely be back

Wandered in on the off chance we could get a table. While waiting for one to be available, we were seated at a little table near the bar for a refreshing beverage while we waited. Although you share the table with other groups, it doesn't feel like you are sitting on top of strangers. Fantastic food, a really interesting take... More

Ate here last night, we walked in and got a table straight away, service was fast, food was delicious. Sitting at a shared table adds character to the place. The tables are big enough so you are not sharing your night with complete strangers. Had a really enjoyable night

Longrain is simply amazing. We visited last Saturday night after a false start a few weeks ago when they had a plumbing isssue and had to close the kitchen. We were treated like VIP's and given the private table. The food was amazing - the flavours are so clean and fresh and every dish is perfectly balanced. I don't usually... More

Went here on a Friday night and expected a wait, but we got there at 6 and were seated straight away on a shared table. It filled up quickly though. Service was excellent, very helpful with menu explanations. Had a cocktail which was nice. Eggnet was amazing, they do half serves for popular dishes which we went with, but its... More
