A long-time favourite for good reason. Honey Pepper Beef Ribs with homemade flat bread and shredded cabbage salad.

Some of our favourite family memories begin around the Yum Cha table. Steam rising from bamboo baskets, endless cups of tea and stories shared between bites.

This Father's Day weekend, we'd love to welcome you to David's for handmade dumplings, Peking Duck, David's Chilli Honey Chicken and a generous Yum Cha feast made for sharing.

Join us both Saturday or Sunday for our extra special Father's Day Yum Cha to celebrate.

Bookings are now open via the link in bio ❤️

Settle into our little Prahran laneway, bring your favourite bottle and we'll take care of dinner. BYO night is on every Tuesday at Davids 🤍

The best bottle is usually the one shared with good company. Bring along a favourite from home or something you've been meaning to open and join us tomorrow for BYO Tuesday.

Our Mixed Dumpling Basket brings together some of our favourite dumplings in one bamboo basket: Pork & Prawn Shu Mai, Mushroom Dumplings, Xiao Long Bao and delicate Prawn Har Gow.

For those who can't quite settle on just one, it's a little taste of everything. Also available as part of our banquet menus.

Some people bring wine. Some bring stories. BYO Tuesdays tend to work best when you bring both.

Gather a few friends, bring a bottle you've been meaning to open, and leave the cooking to us.

Some of our happiest moments happen around these tables. Laughter across the room, someone reaching for the last dumpling, tea constantly being topped up.

Unlimited Yum Cha with the people you love most - that sounds like a pretty perfect weekend to us 🤍

Soft charred eggplant topped with mushroom XO and toasted pine nuts. One of those dishes that seems to find its way onto almost every table at David’s.

Crispy Peking Duck served with wraps, cucumber, leek and plum sauce.

Hands-on and always best shared around the table, with everyone building their wraps exactly how they like them.

Wow! What an incredible weekend, Prahran 🤍 A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate Mother’s Day. Seeing the restaurant filled with dumplings, tea, long lunches and families gathered around the table made it a very special one.

We hope all the mums and mother figures left feeling full, loved and properly spoiled.
