Progressive and provocative, Sunda draws on the flavours of Southeast Asia – the tectonic plate it is named after – marrying these with native Australian ingredients in a sophisticated, distinctive interpretation of modern Australian cuisine.
The menu, by Khanh Nguyen, is intricate and ever-changing, informed by produce and seasonality. Together with the location, down a nondescript city laneway in a structure of steel, glass and mesh inspired by the glowing lanterns of Asia, Sunda is a destination that has come to typify Melbourne’s gastronomic scene.
