Turkish Restaurants in Melbourne

The Aviary Abbotsford Bird enclosure by name, funky establishment by nature, The Aviary holds its own amid the flurry of Melbourne bar/restaurant joints, at home in Little Saigon. Bulging out of a bluestone building, this venue greets you with its elegant stained-glass windows and chandelier-lit interiors, though its two levels feature slick dining areas that mix stylish modern white spaces and retro furniture (see the upstairs gallery and function areas) with a homely, European vibe (check out the fireplace and the outdoor beer garden).


Mediterranean and mod-Oz share plates are all the go for Aviarians, with peckables ranging from carpaccio to corn fritters to oven-baked quail. Main servings proffer an interesting variety of fine meat, fish, pasta, pizza and salad options, with an impressive array of gluten-free goodies, and wine suggestions for each main to sweeten the deal. more
