Gourmet Kitchen / GK Tapas Bar & Restaurant + Cooking School

We had the 5-course vegan banquet tonight. Every course was delicious and we were so full! The service was excellent, thank you. This restaurant has a great vibe. It's conveniently located right across the road from Moonee Ponds station, which is great for us considering we enjoyed a bottle of wine with our meal. Such a terrific night! We hope to return soon.

Amazing restaurant, service and food! We booked via an experience we saw on red balloon. Showed up, venue looked beautiful with a nice atmosphere. Wait staff were super friendly and attentive. Food presentation and portions were fantastic, so much food. Highly recommend!

I had such a great time, there was so much food, I was surprised on how amazing it presented and tasted when my group completed each meal. I am definitely doing another, made me really appreciate food and culture. I also have a far better appreciation for the venue that I have eaten at. I highly recommend it. So good. I did the Spanish food course. Soooooo Yum. The Chef and business owner was fun, professional, clean, polite, generous. I am a fan.

Food was incredible! Everything had so much flavour. Some of the best lamb and chicken we’ve ever had.

The food here is good with reasonable prices. $35 for their paella with everything included and there are cheaper options. It was tasty but not the best paella, maybe needed a little more kick. The atmosphere is ok, but it's not a cozy place. Maybe the lighting is a little bright and stark for that.
WIR Rating 7/10.

The food and service was outstanding for my high tea for 35 guests. Laura was responsive to my date and change of attendee enquires. Myself and guests enjoyed our afternoon and the place was a great size to also accomodate a couple of prams! Highly recommend!

Had a fantastic meal last night all the staff were very nice and every thing we ate was amazing.
Will defiantly be be back.

A hidden gem. Food was sensational the whole experience had a fine dining feel at reasonable prices. Will definitely be returning.

We had The High Tea at Gourmet Kitchen and the cakes were delicious and looked fantastic. Only downside was our savoury course was cold, but they were happy to reheat it for us. Loved the ambience of the place. Noticed there was a cooking class going on, and hubby was certainly interested in trying one of them.
A big shout out to Lainey our waitress who was very nice and friendly and made our experience all the better.

Today I had the pleasure of participating in one of the patisserie masterclass (Mousse cakes, caramels, coulis and macarons) Laura Jane was a very informative, professional teacher and together with her helpers I would not hesitate to recommend her classes.

We had a voucher for the Thai cooking class for Christmas, what an experience, Lauren was fantastic, food was amazing and the people we met were great. Would definitely recommend!

We had our work Christmas party here. Twelve of us did a Spanish cooking class. It was an awesome day, Laura was amazing & patient. The food we made was delicious. Everyone had an absolutely wonderful time. Highly recommend!

A month ago my sister make a booked for my 50th bday Dinner w my husband. And. She’s organised with restaurant When I ordered the dessert should put the candle for suprise me. But They didn’t put anything. Disappointing. Food take a long time Although The food was ok. Staff friendly.

The food is incredible. I've had our work Christmas party here twice and the staff are beyond helpful, positive and you get your own private dining room. Would 10/10 recommend.

Did the patisserie course today and thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. Demystified macarons and mousse cakes, Laura broke it down into manageable steps, patiently answered all my questions, we all got hands on experience and learned some great tips. She made me feel I could attempt the Great Australian Bake Off! Bonus we got to take it home. Highly recommend and I’ll be back soon for another class.

When you get what looks like a steamed fish and then throne on to of a gril to give the charcoal taste and your paying good money for tasteless food, what can you say.

Absolutely wonderful dinner. Ordered the kafiti prawns, paella with everything and scotch fillet (as well as the ruby dessert) - all were delicious with fresh tasty ingredients. They catered easily to my allergies and service was impeccable. Highly recommended!

My husband received a red balloon voucher for a 5 course vegan banquet for 2 from my daughter and I was fortunate enough to be his number 2. The staff were warm and welcoming and extremely helpful. The food was amazing! Each course was presented beautifully and it was thoughtfully constructed in regards to taste, texture and creativity. All the elements of each dish blended so well my husband and I couldn’t stop raving about each dish. While we didn’t have any meat dishes, we were impressed with the variety of dishes available whether you eat meat or not. It wasn’t just a meal but a ‘gastronomical’ experience- a great one. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I completed the Thai Masterclass and it was fantastic. Lots of yummy food, well organised and met some lovely people. Would highly recommend. Can’t wait to try some of the extra recipes we were given.

This morning I took a half-day seafood cooking class at Gourmet Kitchen. We learned to prepare and then ate seven incredible seafood dishes.

The class was a lot of fun, and all the dishes were delicious.

I'd recommend the class to anyone.
