The Langham, Melbourne is celebrating Father’s Day with a special weekend of buffet dining at Melba Restaurant, running Saturday 5 to Sunday 6 September 2026, with breakfast, lunch and a Father’s Day Eve dinner buffet on offer.
As a treat for Dad, guests dining at the lunch and dinner buffets will receive a beer on arrival, with vegetarian options available across all sittings.
The Father’s Day Lunch Buffet takes centre stage on Sunday 6 September, featuring a Chef’s Special of Queensland tiger prawn cocktail, a comfort food station and cold gazpacho with crabmeat, alongside a seafood buffet of Victorian blue swimmer crab, Tasmanian cold water oysters, Queensland tiger prawns, Mornington black mussels and snow crab. Further stations include a Japanese counter with blow-torched Tasmanian salmon nigiri and sushi selections, a meat counter with Victorian prime rib of beef and Yorkshire puddings, an Indian station with butter chicken and tandoori specialties, and an Asian BBQ counter with Chinese-style roast duck and char siu pork. Guests can round out the feast with a dessert selection including Peach Melba, seasonal pavlova and crème brûlée.
Lunch guests will also be entertained by live music from a talented duo, performing from 1:30pm to 4:30pm.
Thomas Rapply, Executive Chef at The Langham, Melbourne, said: ‘Father’s Day is always a highlight in the Melba kitchen – it’s a chance for our team to bring together everything we love about buffet dining, from the seafood and sushi counters through to the roast and dessert stations, so every family can find something Dad will love.’”
Families can also celebrate with the Melba Buffet Breakfast on Sunday morning, or gather the night before for the Father’s Day Eve Dinner Buffet on Saturday 5 September, which features the same extensive spread across seafood, Japanese, meat, pasta, Indian and Asian BBQ stations.
