Rice Paper Scissors
Asian-inspired dining in Melbourne’s Hardware Lane
About
Located on Hardware Lane in Melbourne’s central business district, this restaurant serves Asian-inspired dishes in a narrow laneway setting that is easy to reach on foot from nearby tram stops and central city landmarks. The address places it in a busy dining strip, so it is a practical option for travelers spending time in the city center and looking for a sit-down meal without leaving the area. The menu focuses on rice paper rolls and scissors-cut noodle dishes, with Vietnamese and broader Southeast Asian influences reflected in the name and format. Travelers visiting from outside Melbourne will find a compact urban dining venue rather than a destination built around views or resort-style features. The website and phone contact are available for checking current opening hours, menu details, or booking options before arrival. For visitors planning a day in central Melbourne, it offers a straightforward place for lunch or dinner in an established laneway dining precinct.

The practical layout and central location make it suitable for a meal between sightseeing stops or after time in the CBD. For service details, current hours, and any booking requirements, it is best to check the restaurant’s website or call ahead.
