About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Innovative
Lively

Born from a Melbourne sunset, our pop-up restaurant, Shelanous, evolved into a multi-sensory journey, blending Melbourne’s seasons into each dish. As we transitioned to “Shelanous”, we retained the essence of sharing, embodied in “nous,” meaning “our” or “us” in Hebrew and French.

An unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every course was not just a meal but a carefully crafted sensory journey—visually stunning, full of bold, balanced flavours, and matched perfectly with soundscapes and lighting that heightened each moment. The attention to detail was extraordinary, from the themed decor to the seamless service. The entertainment wove beautifully through the dining experience, adding humour, emotion, and atmosphere without ever distracting from the food. Truly one of the most immersive and memorable dining experiences I’ve had—an absolute must-do.

What a fabulous night. The night started from your first step inside the door. Service was amazing, menu and food exceptional and the overall ambience and theatrics was fantastic. Loved the night and food - well worth it.

An absolutely wonderful night. Made a few attempts at describing the night but deleted all of them as I could not do sufficient justice. I would just highly, highly recommend!

Hosted a group of 10 people at Shelanous and we have all been raving about it! One of the best dining experiences we've ever had. Rony and his team have created something extremely special that combines delicious food, suspense, joy and memories that will be talked about for a long time coming. Worth every $.
