Private Dining in The City, With No Room Hire Fee
Private Dining Melbourne CBD
Picture plates of chilli wagyu dumplings in our "magic" chilli oil, Peking duck pancakes rolled at the table and teapot cocktails poured for everyone. On Little Collins Street, Oriental Teahouse gives your group a space of its own in the heart of the city, from a curtained room for an intimate dinner to a mezzanine above the restaurant floor. Private dining runs for lunch and dinner, Monday to Saturday, with no room hire fee.
Up to 24 guests seated
White Room
Set just off the main dining room and closed off by a curtain, the White Room is our most intimate space. Glossy white walls and tea artefacts give it a cosy, refined feel, while the buzz of the restaurant still drifts through. Seat up to 20 along one long banquet table or up to 24 across several tables, with the room's own sound system. Made for team lunches, business dinners and birthdays.
Up to 45 guests seated
Upper Deck
Perched above the main dining room, the Upper Deck is a mezzanine-style space for bigger celebrations that still want the energy of the restaurant. Soaring ceilings, banquet seating and a sweeping view over the floor below make it an impressive setting, with a curtain for privacy when you need it. It's a natural fit for staff parties, end-of-year celebrations, large group lunches and milestone birthdays.
Up to 90 guests | Full Venue Hire
Take Over the Teahouse
Need the whole place? Take over our neon-lit CBD teahouse, with a fully stocked private bar, moody lighting and a layout set up around your event. Go for roaming yum cha canapés, a banquet-style feast or cocktails on arrival, all with no venue hire fee. It's an easy, fun fit for corporate events, product launches, milestone birthdays and wedding receptions.
Private Dining Menus
Our banquet menus are made for sharing, with rounds of handmade dumplings, shared mains, sides and rice, so nobody leaves hungry or has to work out individual orders. Choose the relaxed Treasure Menu or step up to a Celebrations Banquet, with vegetarian and low gluten options available with advance notice. Full venue events can add roaming yum cha canapés, and drinks can start with cocktails on arrival, run on a bar tab or be handled with drink tokens.
