Food & Drink – The Cullen, Prahran

HUTONG DUMPLING BAR

The 140-seat HuTong, a favourite in Prahran restaurants, has the charm of an antique Chinese garden with a contemporary twist. Beautifully-carved antique wood screens, billowing Chinese silk curtains and red lanterns set a dramatic backdrop for the glass-fronted kitchen display as a cast of dumpling makers create favourites such as Xutong Xiao-long-bao and Hutong Peking Roast Duck. As sister restaurant to HuTong Dumpling Bar on Market Lane in Melbourne’s CBD, Hutong at The Cullen is home to a Roast Duck Chef from Quanjude China, the most famous duck restaurant in China.

Offering two separate private dining areas and bar, the restaurant can accommodate through to larger dining parties. Adorned with dark wood and silver bricks, the hot dining space is open for dinner 7 nights a week.
