Fairy Mountain — Restaurant in Melbourne

We just love this place. So ducking great with duck being the feature.

We’ve been lucky enough to be served by the owner and she is just wonderful in service and her passion for taste and great food.

The place is a typical country town Chinese restaurant with nice decor and friendly staff.

We’ve been multiple times and have pretty much ordered the whole menu by now. Our favourites are: The hot sour soup Chinese sausage Shredded duck soup The duck hot pot The duck in vegetables Any combination of the noodles with vegetables and meat of your choice

I definitely recommend here if you’re in the area. Make sure you book on a Saturday as they are hella busy and for good reason.

Thank you all there and we will see you on our usual...

She then checked our table (looking for teapots?) like she...

What we found was good old fashioned Chinese food at reasonable prices and delivered by the most amazing, friendly staff. There's no fancy new-age fusion dishes here, just well cooked, traditional and very tasty fare. It's BYO wine too, which certainly helps to keep the costs down. I would thoroughly recommend Fairy Mountain to anyone looking for good value, non-pretentious...
