Had a pub meal on a whim here last night. Went with my husband. The bistroe was empty so we were seated promptly. The waitress was lovely and very attentive. Chicken wings for starters, I ordered the snapper fish of the day and my husband went for his trusty Parma. The wings were delish but would have loved a dipping sauce to accompany them. My snapper was cooked to perfection and large in portion. At over $80 with two drinks, this is not a cheap pub meal but the quality was great.

UPDATE. Went for the Sunday roast a couple of weeks ago. Wow. It was a Pork belly with braised cabbage and taters. I like pork belly but was a bit wary of the braised cabbage UNTIL I tasted it. Sublime flavour. The crackling was perfect and the pork soft and juicy and the cabbage was a huge surprise it was so good. I asked the lovely waitress (service was good) to pass on my compliments to the chef. Will return again.

Its been some time since this place was reviewed so thought Id bring you up to date. Weve been here numerous times for dinner and been very pleased each time. Ive had the Sunday roast a couple of times and its cheap and of good quality. My most recent visit I had a steak and it was tremendous. Smokey and flavoursome from the grill yet soft and cooked perfectly. My dinner partner said the Parma was good and looked good size. The chips are top notch. The desserts are fine and the drinks are well priced. I prefer this pub to others in Brunswick as the foods better. Its a bit of a locals secret.
Yes! The local. Amazing food, excellent pool table and great beer. The vegetarian options are crazy good, especially the Baked Eggplant. One of the only bars around that serves good IPA.
Great pub food and a relaxed vibe. I especially appreciate the range of vegetarian options which is a nice change from the usual pub choices. The desserts are also great
Good food and good atmosphere, friendly staff. A nice place to hang out, play some pool and have a few beers amongst having a very nice pub meal.
It’s redo week! The week we revisit a pub that has already been reviewed due to changes in the menu, recommendation that it has improved or gotten worse since our last review, or for pubs that we feel just didn’t get a fair shake the first time around. Brunswick’s Grandview Hotel has been on our redo list for quite some time – Pretty much since we walked out the door the first time we reviewed it.
We we went for trivia night which was great, but the food was phenomenal and had a huge range for not only meat eaters, but Vegos, vegans and gluten free-ers as well. Tasty and delicious you could order small plates, or regular meals. The prices were on the higher side for a traditional pub, and the fit out is still a traditional pub with a paint job, but to be honest they're worth it. The chef is really pushing himself here, and I like it. Will definitely be back.

Before the establishment of Parmas of Melbourne, we came down to the Grandview Hotel quite a few times. We loved the parma here. We just recently realised we had never reviewed the parma here, so off we went for a reviews sake.
Walking in we straight away noticed the grand view had undergone some changes. New bar tables and decor. It was looking nice and shmick.
Anyway to the parma.
A 30 minute wait and the parmas had arrived.
The parmas did look a tiny bit different. I think it was mainly because of the cheese but we will get to that later.
The chicken breast had not been battered down one bit. Nice thick , fresh chicken breast just the way we like it.
The crumbing was on point. Bit burnt around some edges but we love it nice and crunchy. To some the bird may have been over cooked, but as we said, thats the way we like it.
The napoli was the good stuff. Fresh home made napoli which did good things for the bird.
The smoked ham made its presence well known as it carried some good flavour.
The cheese was standard mozzarella cheese. It could of gone a tad longer under the grill but i must admit the cheese was nice and creamy which gave the parma a distinct texture. If it were under the grill any longer, the edges would of turned to charcoal.
The chips were thick beer battered chips done very well. They were nice and crunchy and seasoned well.
The salad was also impressive. Fresh leaves dressed and seasoned well.
The parma tasted just like we remembered it which was definitely a good thing. An awesome close go-to in the back streets of brunswick is what the grandview is to us. The parma is definitely not photo genic, but you should never judge a book by its cover. We promise the parma here is nice and tasty and a definite bang for your buck.

Last night’s parma was an interesting one. A few weeks ago we were contacted by a group of Swinburne students who are making a documentary… about parmas! Seeing as the only thing I like more than talking about eating parmas is is actually eating them we jumped at the opportunity to have a chat with these guys, So last night we headed down to The Grand View Hotel in Brunswick West and experienced what life would be like if we turned Parma Daze into a reality TV show. We arrived and met up with the crew, along with Stephen and Riley who would be joining us for our parmas… When we visit pubs for review we do our best to remain anonymous – We want to get the same parma that everyone else does. For the most part we are pretty successful with this, we might get some strange loo
Lunch with grandson. Cosy place, very friendly owner. Great menu, very generous servings and reasonable prices. Will definitely come back again
I visit every couple of years for a meal, and this place never fails provide such great meals. Certainly very good value too. This time the excellent and attentive service was particularly evident. Thanks
Our local in Brunswick. Staff are awesome and great selection of food and drinks. The steaks here are really great! One thing, if you could organize to have Guiness on tap I’d be there everyday haha!
Some of the best pub food I think I've ever had, Grand View definitely punches above its weight as a local suburban pub. With a handful of delightful surprises on the menu, excellently executed pub classics, and a solid beer and wine list, this has quickly become one of my favorite pubs in all of Melbourne.
Great place to grab a beer and some lunch. Great service, clean and friendly. Highly recommend Grand View Hotel.
Been waiting to go here for ages. Excellent service and excellent food. Great country feel. Big servings and attentive friendly staff. Will be back. Tuesday night is burger night and Parma night is Wednesday.
Great meal and good wine list, good atmosphere best you book or get in early as it is back to the good old days.
