The Stokehouse offers spectacular views, beautiful deco, amazing food and 5 star service. Make sure you arrive an hour or so early and enjoy a cocktail on their balcony overlooking the bay. The perfect choice for a romantic dinner or lunch.

A Melbourne institution Donovans has been serving beautiful, simple food since the 90’s.
The restaurant is very homely and family friendly. A great choice for a long lunch or special dinner.

The 5 star dinning option at the Espy St Kilda is well worth a visit. It is equally suited to a family dinner as a rowdy party with friends. Skip the menu and order the banquet, If you like chilli make sure you get the spicy pork chilli wontons.

High quality Japanese food in a fun atmosphere. Sashimi lovers will not be disappointed and the Ebi Mayo is a hit.

If it is nice evening try to get a table outside on the terrace to enjoy the view.

Often regarded as Melbourne’s best Italian restaurant Di Stasio’s food is really very very good.

Service is a bit stiff, but shake that off and enjoy some truely spectacular pasta.

Controversially Cicciolina is my pick for St Kilda Italian. I prefer it to Di Stasio because it is more St Kilda and more fun.

Try both and you decide.
