Yugo

A taste of contemporary elegance in the Docklands, Crowne Plaza Melbourne has a beautiful secret. It's name? Yugo.

Primed for anyone seeking a really special evening out, Yugo is designed to incite wonder and excitement. The interior design is anchored by glossy bistro furniture coupled with sweeping leather booths. Glass panels are used to create an optical illusion where ultra-modern lighting takes on an entirely different personality and different areas of the restaurant are shrouded from others. A vision of class and style, Yugo is a great excuse to don your finest clothes for a superb evening out.

The menu puts a spin on international dishes we know and love. To begin, they're taking Italy's adored bruschetta and popping it onto the Josper grill for a crispy, smoky take on a classic, they're drizzling kingfish ceviche with yuzu vinegar, and they're pairing crayfish and pickled crab for some moreish croquettes.

The Josper Grill forms the backbone of the mains and expertly smokes and cooks prime cuts of meat. Other plates include the signature cheeseburger, as well as a rack of wagyu short ribs and a decadent truffle risotto. Prepare to be amazed at Yugo's unique (and delicious) perspective on the dishes we thought we knew... until now.
