A pretty good place if you want a cheap dinner and drinks before going elsewhere - or if you're a bit drunk and grabbing something to eat afterwards! The tables and floor are often... a bit messy.
Felt a bit dated and crowded last I was there but plenty of great beers and central location make it very worthwhile. Mixed drinks are good but at expensive Melbourne prices
I love Cookie. It is one of the few modern asian eateries in melbourne that has good atmosphere, good service and delicious menu with lots of choice, sufficient to please even the most fussiest diners. On top of that, the price point represents very good value. A large plate of Fat Rice Noodles with Duck, Cabbage, Green Peppercorns and Basil for $22.50 was our choice for the day, and it contained a good amount of tender flavoursome duck etc. No scrimping there at all. The only time when I would recommend against going to Cookie, would be Friday night. On occasions when i have visited on a friday night, the place seems to have been half transformed into a very very loud dance bar minus the dancing.
The floors are sticky, the tables are sticky. The service is horrible- 1/5. The food does taste okay - 3/5 but not the best value 1/5. So many places in the city this place is on the bottom of my list.
Good place if you want to go somewhere to get revved up before going out dancing or such. Great drinks menu, heaps to choose from and such a wide range of beers, wines, and cocktails that you spend half the time just deciding what to have. This place was a bit loud for us, so not the best for lots of conversation, but the decor was nice and in a great location
Approximate cost: $15-30
I love the decor of this place and would love to see it during daylight hours. I suspect it would be even better. Lovely apple martini's and are somewhat strong too which is perfect since most I find are almost always watered down! Friendly and playful staff at hand too.
This place is awesome. Can you get any cooler than this?? The food here is amazing, asain flavours are just delicious. And excellent range of cocktails. Go the expresso martini!!
Cookie rocks! We've been there for drinks a few times but it was when we had dinner there that we were really impressed. The menu is gorgeous (think Asian fusion) and the service is good. It gets mega busy so you definitely need to book. If it's a romantic dinner for two, I'd highly recommend booking one of the tables on the little balconies.
Approximate cost: $25-30
Such an amazing place! The atmosphere is brilliant, the feng shui and decor are spot on, and it gets packed after work when every one wants a great cocktail or a glass of wine after a long day.
It's so central to Melbourne that it's an easy place to visit. And the bar staff are all friendly and attractive. Haha.
I definitely recommend going to Cookie if you're visiting Melbourne and don't know where to grab a drink.
I had a lot of fun at Cookie for after work drinks and the food is delish! I like the drink menu and the variety it has to offer. It is affordable and you can have a nice night out.
Approximate cost: $50
