We’ve been coming here for years and love everything from the friendly welcome to the fabulous menu. Best recommendation for two: start with the roti and peanut sauce, then share the slow-cooked duck rendang and the leafy green salad with apple, peanut and anchovies. Argue the toss between the pandan crepes with toasted coconut and the coconut cream sago with palm sugar, then order them both. Enjoy!

From the moment we entered we were greeted with a warm friendly smile from a young lady. Service was quick and came with pleasant banter. The food is genuine and authentic Malaysian using fresh produce. The broth Barramundi is a knock out dish I will be returning again for.

This was the first time we had dinner at Blue Chillies. We ordered the Thrice cooked duck and a Nasi Goreng Rice, and both plates were very good. I would really recommend other people to try this place.

Blue Chillies offers the most authentic Malaysian cuisines in Australia served in a paranakan setting, and it's a must go to food institution in Melbourne!

The Duck Rendang and Pork Ribs were superbly cooked and absolutely delicious. The Rendang was well flavoured without being overly spicy. The buck was a great substitute for those not eating beef.

The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was really good. The duck bao, soft shell crab, spinach with belachan tasted exactly the same as back home. The nasi lemak unfortunately was not quite up to scratch. It was like it had been sitting in the rice cooker for a while. But everything else was amazing.

Cute restaurant with good food, friendly service and a nice atmosphere. There are very few options for Malaysian food in this area so Blue Chillies is a great choice and I'll definitely be back.

Visited today, a pretty place but the food terribly lacks freshness (shrimps, vegetables, even the crips!) and savor. We were really disappointed, and didn’t eat two meals out of three… the staff didn’t ask us why. The price is totally unjustified. Avoid it!

About the restaurant

Legendary Laksa Think fragrant, sometimes spicy, sometimes earthy—and always delicious. That's Blue Chillies in Fitzroy. In a charming space with dark wood and low lighting, Blue Chillies serves up magnificent Malaysian food. Need a little something to temper the spice? The soothing lounge music, jazz and soul will do it. Or a glass of vino from the appealing wine list. As for the menu, it's a celebration of fresh produce and pick-me-up spices that are delicately used to create balanced dishes. Grab a few friends and pick a selection of dishes to share. You'll be tempted to steal bites off of all the plates coming through the kitchen. Try the fried vegetarian roll with julienned mushrooms, the satay chicken skewers with spicy peanut sauce or the whitebait and sweet potato fritters with chilli lime dipping sauce. For the noodle afficionados out there, Blue Chillies has plenty of tempting choices, including noodles with prawns or pan-fried fine egg noodles with beef fillet. For regular diners, the laksa—either chicken or seafood—is always a favourite. Best Dish: seafood laksa with rice vermicelli and soft egg noodles
