About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
The message at Isme Restaurant is simple: Welcome home.

In Middle Eastern culture, hospitality is a way of life - the door is always open, the coffee is always brewing, and guests are welcomed like family.

We have built this brand upon our inherent passion for and cultural identity in Lebanese cuisine and hospitality.

Since relocating from Fitzroy to Thornbury, our menu has evolved from traditional Lebanese food to a more contemporary style of dining which grasps inspiration from all over the Middle East.

We invite you to develop a fascination and love for the food that we have crafted and perfected over the course of our lives.

Isme is a labour of love; our food seasoned with it, our drinks garnished with it and our team draped in it to gift to you upon arrival.

    A lovely dinner and venue but gets fairly hot in here! Accomodating to children with extremely friendly and hospitable staff. Confused about the time allocated to seating.

    Food was good. Whilst the place overall was quite modern and aesthetically pleasing, the noise factor was a major issue. It’s a big place with lots of concrete, you really could not hear the people sitting across from you. Staff were polite and friendly but it took a long time to be served both at the start and in between courses. Perhaps they were short staffed?

    Restaurant was very busy and it took a while to get food. However, food was delicious. due to large number of people, noise level was a bit high but they have an outside dining option

    Isme was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely delicious and faultless. Our only regret being we didn’t get more to try! The staff were pleasant and the ambiance in the restaurant was beautiful. Highly recommend Isme and can’t wait to return!
