There’s no shortage of restaurants to choose from at the new $3.2 billion Parramatta Square. If it’s Asian flavours you’re after, LilyMu is the best on the block. The new eatery is owned and run by Ibby Moubadder and Jorge Farah of Nour and Henrietta fame.

Wok master and former Mr Wong head chef Brendan Fong heads up the talented kitchen team. His menu features dishes from across China and South East Asia, in particular Japan, Thailand, Indonesia and Korea. Expect modern marvels, from tom yum prawn dumplings in a soy lime dressing to a duck katsu sandwich with chilli jam and black garlic mie goreng finished with a raw egg yolk.

An onsite full service bar shakes up an impressive selection of cocktails, from the Petaling Breeze, a sweet-sour concoction of elderflower liqueur and tamarind topped with an aromatic bubble to the tuktuk spiced margarita, made from chilli-infused tequila balanced with lemon, yuzu and agave. Cocktails are complemented with a comprehensive range of Australian wines, beers and spirits.

The indoor-outdoor space features seating for up to 160, including communal dining and private tables. The slinky interiors have been decked out in concrete and dark timbers, which is brought to life by the soft glow of a waterlily wall mural.

LilyMu is located at T3.02-3.03 153 Macquarie Street, Parramatta. It opens Tue – Thu 5:30pm – 10:30pm, and Fri – Sat 12pm – 12am. For more details, head to lilymu.com.
