The queues on Flinders Lane became almost as much a part of the Chin Chin experience as the food itself.
Chin Chin was part of the original wave of casual dining in Australia, and one of the first restaurants in Melbourne to scrap bookings and offer high-quality food at prices that didn’t require a special occasion to justify. It had a noisy, bustling atmosphere that set it apart from everything around it. The queues on Flinders Lane became almost as much a part of the Chin Chin experience as the food itself. In a city where restaurants can open and close almost overnight, Chin Chin has become a fixture – a part of Melbourne’s dining landscape. Its staying power is a reflection of the quality of the food, the personality of the restaurant and the experience it offers.
