DRESS CODE

Our dress code is smart casual. The dress code is intended to create a pleasant experience for all guests. Please kindly refrain from wearing athletic clothing or footwear e.g. thongs/slides. Closed toe shoes are preferred.

We kindly request for all guests dining in the restaurant to be a minimum of 12 years of age. Elchi is unable to accommodate strollers, high chairs, or a children’s menu.

We have carefully crafted an ambiance that is serene, sophisticated, and conducive to relaxation and meaningful conversations. By implementing a minimum age requirement and limitations on children's amenities, we aim to provide an environment that caters to patrons seeking a refined dining experience.

We would like to clarify that our child policy is not unique to Elchi. There are many high-end restaurants in Melbourne and even in India that have similar policies in place. These policies are designed to create an atmosphere that is conducive to relaxation, meaningful conversations, and a refined dining experience for our esteemed guests.We recognize that dining with children can bring joy and create beautiful memories. However, we have made the decision to focus on creating an atmosphere that is specifically designed to unwind and fully immerse themselves in the dining experience. We sincerely apologize if our child policy has been misconstrued as discriminatory or judgmental.

We appreciate and value all of our guests, including families. For those seeking a family-friendly dining experience, we would be more than happy to recommend our sister restaurant, Masti, located in Fitzroy. Just a 10-minute drive away from Elchi, Masti is a wonderful establishment that caters specifically to the needs of children and families. It offers a warm and welcoming ambiance, along with a diverse menu that includes delicious options for both adults and children. Masti provides a family-friendly atmosphere where you can enjoy a delightful meal and create lasting memories with your loved ones.

By upholding these rules, we have succeeded in creating a restaurant with a quiet and formal setting. It is here that you can immerse yourself in a serene and elegant environment, allowing us to delight your senses with our culinary offerings. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining the distinctive ambiance that sets Elchi apart.

Join us and experience the epitome of refined dining—a place where simplicity meets elegance, and where every moment is savored in a setting that is both tranquil and captivating. We apologize for any misunderstanding or inconvenience caused and hope for your understanding and continued support.
