1001 Nights Restaurant is a family-run Levantine restaurant and cafe in the seaside village of Mount Eliza, on the Mornington Peninsula. Opened in 2013 by a family who emigrated from Iraq in the early 1990s, the restaurant brings authentic Middle Eastern cuisine and hospitality to the local dining scene. The menu centres on charcoal-grilled meats, shareable mezze and fragrant tajines, alongside traditional Middle Eastern sweets. The wine list features a mix of Mornington Peninsula producers and Middle Eastern selections, reflecting the venue's blend of local and homeland influences. 1001 Nights operates as a cafe from early morning, with a dedicated lunch and dinner service running Wednesday to Sunday, making it a flexible option for breakfast, a leisurely lunch or an evening meal. The relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and family heritage behind the kitchen give the restaurant a distinct identity within Mount Eliza's dining options, drawing on generations of Levantine cooking traditions.
