The Beginning

A Rye Institution Since 2000

Steam Restaurant has been nestled in the Rye area ever since 2000. This cozy establishment highlights our passion for market-fresh ingredients, honest cooking, and an enjoyable atmosphere. Our menu features a selection of dishes, all made in-house by our talented chefs.

Our style is based around share plates and interactive dining so you can either choose a little or a lot. Our influences range from Japanese, Chinese, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian — and we're not afraid of a bit of spice.

Loved by locals and traveling foodies alike, Steam offers a funky modern Asian experience with a picturesque setting opposite the beach on the Mornington Peninsula. We offer selections for most dietary needs and are available for group bookings and functions upon request.
