The buzz is real, and the wait is almost over! A new flavour is coming to the heart of Melbourne's most iconic dining strip. We are incredibly excited to announce that Otakoi, a modern Ukrainian restaurant, will be opening its doors on Chapel Street very soon!
For everyone searching for new places to eat on Chapel Street, we can't wait to welcome you. Otakoi is more than just a restaurant; it’s an experience designed to surprise and delight you, inspired by the Ukrainian word "отакої" (o-ta-koy!)—a joyful expression of surprise, like saying "Wow!" or "Would you look at that!".

A New Taste for Chapel Street Dining
What can you expect from the Otakoi menu? Forget what you think you know about Eastern European cuisine. We are taking traditional Ukrainian food and giving it a fresh, modern, and healthy twist. Our philosophy is simple: use the best seasonal and locally sourced ingredients to create dishes that are both nourishing and packed with flavour.
Whether you’re planning a casual Chapel Street dinner with friends or looking for a unique spot for a special occasion, our menu will have something to capture your imagination. We aim to quickly become one of the best Chapel St restaurants by offering a culinary journey you won’t find anywhere else.
An Atmosphere to Match
Our goal is to create a space that feels as warm and inviting as the food we serve. The atmosphere at Otakoi will be stylish, intimate, and vibrant—the perfect backdrop for making memories. We want to be your new favourite spot for Chapel St dining, a place where you can relax with a great meal, excellent service, and even better company.
Stay in the Loop!
We are putting the final touches on everything and are planning to open our doors later this winter. We don’t want you to miss a thing!
