Overview
Supernormal is a flagship venue in Melbourne’s acclaimed dining scene, offering a modern Asian experience that’s vibrant, refined, and endlessly satisfying. Located in the bustling heart of Flinders Lane, this sleek restaurant is the creation of renowned chef Andrew McConnell, whose signature attention to detail is evident across both the menu and atmosphere. The industrial-chic interior—with polished concrete floors, long communal tables, and a dramatic open kitchen—sets the tone for a dynamic, contemporary dining experience.
The menu draws inspiration from Japan, Korea, and China, showcasing bold, umami-rich flavours through meticulously crafted dishes. Signature items like the New England lobster roll, prawn and chicken dumplings, and twice-cooked duck with steamed pancakes are balanced with lighter fare and seasonal ingredients. Diners are encouraged to share, making Supernormal ideal for groups, special occasions, or long lunches that stretch into evening.
The drinks list is equally well-curated, featuring Australian and international wines, sake, Asian-inspired cocktails, and a handful of unique non-alcoholic options. The service is sharp yet relaxed, keeping pace with the restaurant’s high energy and buzzy clientele.
Supernormal is as versatile as it is popular. By day, it’s a favourite for business lunches and casual catch-ups; by night, it transforms into a lively hub for after-work dining and special celebrations. Positioned just a short stroll from Federation Square and Melbourne’s theatre district, it’s also an ideal pre- or post-show stop.
A long-standing favourite among food critics, tourists, and locals alike, Supernormal continues to impress with its consistent delivery of high-quality food, polished service, and infectious energy. It’s a quintessential Melbourne experience—innovative, stylish, and never dull.
