Yan is a new restaurant in South Yarra that combines Asian flavours with American barbeque technique. Diners are encouraged to start their meal by peeling smoked king prawns and dipping them in a ginger-shallot sauce. The aim is to infuse the hands with a subtle smokiness and prepare diners for the rest of the evening. Plus, a compact new outlet for Melbourne's favourite Lebanese bakery.
