this place has an excellent menu, good choice of gluten free foods, vegetarian and a vegan dish what else can you want.
My friend and I stayed in Melbourne for 2 nights and we ate here both nights.
I chose the chicken parma the first night , and I could modify it to my diet needs, My friend chose the mushroom risotto, enjoyed it so much that she had the same again the second night (gluten free dish)
I had the Vegan pot pie with steamed vegetables the next night, it was amazing tasted wonderful, next year when we are back in Melbourne for the Australian quilt convention, we will back .
The service was excellent, friendly staff, would highly recommend this place to eat
Oh. My. God.
How is this place so damn good?! Fantastic service, sangria, food and atmosphere! Will be coming back next time one Melbourne!
The food and staff were excellent. Would highly recommend QSR to anyone going to Melbourne.
Fabulous breakfast and delicious coffee, (its hard to find a decent coffee), the bacon and egg roll is enough for 2 ���
Amazing staff, meal & service! Steak cooked to perfection. All staff made us feel very welcome. Will be at the top of the list for our next visit to Melbourne!
Surprise little find on our last night in Melbourne and a place I would be happy to recommend to everyone. The food was delightful and the staff were warm, genuine and friendly. You can tell they take pride in their work and enjoy what they do.
Thank you for looking after us!
Used this place frequently while staying in Melbourne, very friendly place. Good food and wine, fast free wifi.
The food was great presentation was great staff were friendly they delivered to our room on plates not in containers only took 20 minutes ... very happy with this place
Great atmosphere service and staff, excellent coffee. Hot chocolate must be wonderful too because it was gone in a flash! Wonderful to chill there by day and a fun vibe in the evening. We love it! Thanks guys, it's always a pleasure to be there.
This place is awesome food is great and the staff are brilliant love this place. We had my sons 18th birthday party and they were so good.
Fantastic service. Amazing food. Gnocchi was so tasty! Will be back here for round two when I visit Melbourne next �
Love this place!! The team come here at least once a year. Great service and yummy food!
You need chicken in your Caesar salad! :P

Amazing service venue with great options .
The service was amazing . The steak was Cooked medium rare exactly . Meals came quickly .
The plate setting was good and taste fresh.
The service was fantastic and if i would give it 10 start i would to.
Wish I could give 4.5 stars since almost everything was fantastic - the only sticking point was that the mains took a bit longer to come out than we expected, but service was very friendly, portion sizes were generous, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend the calamari, the batter was crisp and the calamari was so soft, not rubbery and chewy at all.
We found this little pub via EatClub which offers a 30% off discount, we came here for late lunch.. and there were a numbers of tables that were occupied so thankfully we booked ahead via EatClub.. I ordered the meat lover pizza which had bacon, pepperoni & chicken, the pizza base was not too thick and it was very tasty.. my friend ordered the chicken Parma it was half the regular, the chips were fresh and crispy, the chicken tastes good and it was good value for lunch using the EatClub deal..
This hip urban space in Melbourne's CBD is a welcoming retreat from the cold with its effervescent fit-out, attentive service and creative cuisine. Queen Street Rescue Restaurant Bar dishes out contemporary Australian fare with unique flavour combinations. The restaurant has a rustic, weathered look about it, from the shabby chic wall panels in white, baby green and lilac hues to the long timber tables with their bucolic-style wooden chairs. Great food, wine and some old fashioned table service where the wait staff do more than just take your order but make you feel like you've been coming here for years! We also cater for those needing a Gluten Free menu
Found this place on Dimmi 's food month specials (50% off selected restaurants in July) and thought I would check it out. Was pleasantly surprised! Was a busy night and the waitresses were super friendly. The food was also so good! Had the vegan pot pie and the pear cake with butterscotch sauce 🙌🏽 Would definitely recommend for a casual weeknight dinner!
A go to for their delicious express lunch menu, the guys here have great service and it’s a cozy spot. Basically anywhere that gives me wine for lunch is winning!
Enjoyed our meals here. Our table had crispy chicken hamburger and wagyu beef hamburger with fries. Both hamburgers really tasty good size, fries fresh and crunchy, cooked perfectly. Also had the bbq lovers pizza which was ok. Drinks at standard prices. Saturday night over school holidays not overly busy. Friendly quick service.
It as overall a half decent Parma. For the lowly, discounted cost of $12, it was definitely worthy of its price tag and petty good value for money.
However, the headline price tag of $24 does seem a bit rich given the cheap ingredients used on anything but the schnitzel itself.
Pleasantly surprised to find this near work, great for happy hour! We got the sangria jug which was delicious and very generous.
Two of us shared 4 entrees as we just couldn’t make up our minds and actually couldn’t finish them! The calamari was perfect and the haloumi was the highlight of the meal.
Wagyu beef sliders are a lot bigger than usual sliders! Beef patty was thick and juicy.
We had iventure cards which were due to expire shortly. We couldn’t make it to the attractions so thought of using our last pass on a restaurant instead😀 QSR experience was lovely though 😋 I had the BBQ chicken which was served with roast pumpkin and mash potato.. I totally loved it though the portion wasn’t sufficient for my appetite !! My husband had risotto which tasted fine too. Overall we loved the place, ambience and food! We will surely visit again.
Outstanding. We had the Angus steak, burger and linguini. All were outstanding. The service was excellent. We'll be back for seconds! Great job!!
Attached to Adina on Queens, look like a bar from the outside.
Wagyu slider - it reminds me of mini whopper (with less ingredients) 😂😂 good to share or snack on when ur not too hungry 😁😁
Pear turnover - It’s definitely worthy a try!! A very hearty/ home style sort of dessert and it taste amazing when you combine everything on the spoon 🍴❤️
This place is a hidden gem. We booked for 2 people on a Saturday night through Dimmi but it didn't come through to the restaurant, but they still accommodated a table for us. So maybe call to confirm with them in advance. Service was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. The chicken winga are big and juice, really well cooked and terrific for the price. The menu may seem simple but the dishes were all really well executed. Pasta cooked to right consistency and prawns were just right. The vegan pot pie also well seasoned and generous in size. The wait for the food took a while but good food takes time. Would like to go back and try other items on the menu
Ordered:
🥩 Tuesday Specials: $17 Steak
+ swapped out the fries for garlic potato mash ($9)
Vegetarian Medley pizza: Napoli sauce, capsicum, artichoke, grilled zucchini, olives & marinated feta ($18).
Review:
🛩 Pretty fun bar environment! High sofa backs, sunlight and really filling, good food it’s a nice place to catch up with your mate.
It was disappointing that they didn't take the difference between potato mash and fries since I swapped it out
but you gotta do what you gotta do to elevate the food to suit your tastes.
Overall, the steak and pizza were delicious yet simple. Would definitely come back for a casual dinner since the waiter was lovely and fun to converse with initially.
Wheelchair accessible. Accessible bathroom- small but able to fit an electric wheelchair.
Great food. Great service. Adequate space for the two electric chairs we had with us.
We'd go back :)
Lovely restaurant bar with a great looking modern Australian menu that has something for almost everyone. It was surprisingly quiet on a Friday night, which made this place cosy and conversations were not difficult to hear over noise. Service was excellent and so friendly. Food was well priced and pretty good. I thought the fries were great. I had the nachos, which were delicious (and sooo filling) but not quite warm enough. I'm guessing it was slightly mis-timed in trying to get everyone on our table their food at the same time. I would definitely return, especially if I needed a place for a larger group dinner.
We were in Melbourne for a quick visit to meet our newly born granddaughter and stayed up the road from Queen Street Rescue. Found it on our second night in Melbourne and ended up dining there for the following three nights. Service was outstanding, the second night we went in the staff bought our fav drinks straight to us without even going to the bar. Food was fantastic, highly recommend the pizzas, they rocked. The bases are thin and crispy and maybe the best we have shared. It's a really relaxed atmosphere, staff are attentive but not in your face. For a great meal, great relaxed pub and attentive staff, I highly recommend Q St Rescue
10/10 no words to Describe how amazing this tasted I actually took a bite and tapped my foot which I never do when I get food delivered my lord .. no words I actually jumped straight on to write a review #amazing
We planed to have breakfast here, cause the avocado toast looks great on Instagram. Unfortunately we arrived at 11:40am, after the breakfast offering time. Therefore, we ordered burger and pasta instead. The beef in burger is dry. But the chips is very good! I nearly finished the chips by myself. The pasta is good.
Pleasantly surprised by this place. Decor is average and has a pub feel to it but the porterhouse was superb and the burger was sensational. Both cooked to perfection, not overdone or dry. Will come back.
Great food. Went to grab food with my friends the staff were quite friendly and kept checking on us. The salmon was perfectly cooked along with the asparagus and the beetroot sauce was amazing too. Would definitely go back.
Ordered: Rump steak, Seafood Linguine and side of fries
Rump steak - 3.5/5 was a decently cooked steak. The a potatoes and onions complimented the meal well, as did the mushroom jus.
Seafood Linguine - 3/5 this was below an average Linginue pasta and was slightly balnd. The seafood was okay, and again nothing special.
Fries - 3.5/5 good seasoned and portion of fries.
Overall our meal was half price because we booked through Dimmi, which added to the value of this meal. Otherwise, I would not pay the original prices for these dishes.
Very impressed with their bookshelf and the decor and their coffee is good too. I ordered the express lunch of beef and cous cous salad with rocket. Service was quick and the flavour was nice, but the rocket overwhelmed the salad in presentation and quantity. It was hard to find any cous cous in the dish.
Trying to find a family friendly place to entertain young kids and grown up friends visiting from overseas is not always easy to find in the city area, in terms of food quality and affordability but there are a few and this could be one of them. It's a casual relaxed setting with good friendly service staff and food is good although choice is limited. Come here for a quick bite but it doesn't have the wow factor.

A Sunday Dinner after work someone recommended Queen St Rescue a block from Shanghai St, uphill so west side up past Hardware Lane. Described a "hip urban space" it's not my style, but we're open to trying new things. Interesting choice of deco, there's booths and bar height tables too. The lunch deals look good, there's always better deals for lunch in the city.
Came here for brunch with friends from out of town. Great food and coffee, relaxed atmosphere. Service was good and they have tables inside and out.
The linguine had its own pool of oil to swim in. The dish was tasty and well presented but my stomach protested at the excessive oil. The risotto was delicious with a combination of chorizo and tomato salsa and a couple of scallops to top it off. The place had quite a few diners on a Monday night, possibly from the adjoining Adina Apartments.
We only tried breakfast menu, so far so good. The pancake comes with homemade vanilla ice cream (My favorite). And the sourdoughs was spot on. And for the most important part of breakfast, The Coffee was excellent! High recommended.
friendly ; fun interior; great coffee; very quick service; food was delicious - recommend the QSR Sandwich , and the eggs on toast were simple but so so tasty.
Fantastic venue with a hip and modern Australian vibe. Outstanding food with exceptionally wonderful service provided by the awesome staff. I'll be coming back again and again in the near future as I really dig the entire vibe of Queens St Rescue.
My friends and I were staying in Adina serviced apartment, this café is just next to it, actually you can also order room service from them in your room if you stay in Adina. The breakfast here was impressive and the soy chai latte I had was pretty good as well.
First impression is good. I like the atmosphere and food is decent. I would say that it's a good place to chill, as menu seems to be made up of mostly comfort food. Staff is pretty friendly too so that's good too
Great place. Love the food, service & atmosphere. Great for just a drink or meal. Easy going owners/staff too. Only criticism is stopping the smoking outside in the front drinks zone.
Love love love this place. Out with the new hubby on our mini moon (mini honeymoon) and came into the city to have some dinner before the movies.
Went to Queen Street Rescue and it was awesome.
I had the Farmhouse Spag bol which was amazing. The best I have had for quiet some time.
Hubby had the steak which was perfectly cooked, the mushroom sauce was very tasty and the chips were very yummy. Chips went really well with the sauce. :)
We both ordered the Tobelrone cocktails which was soooo yummy. I ended up finishing the hubby's and was a little tipsy. But was awesome.
Will definitely go there again just to try the Gnocchi as I was having a hard time deciding between the spag bol and gnocchi. :)
Staff were awesome and friendly. Couldnt ask for better service.
One staff member said not to give 10 out of 10 so they have something to strive for. :)
Very impressed. Last minute booking for a large group. Staff very obliging. Food great quality and good prices
I ordered their fish of the day; which was a salmon fillet. The salmon itself was okay (I find that the salmon-y taste was not rich and creamy enough) but the accompanying mixed leaves salad with chickpeas were really good! Not so good though, as to not feel a twinge of regret when...
Thank you for a lovely brunch .... I booked Queen Street Rescue because one of my other friends went there and loved it. A friend visiting from Vietnam and I were catching up. Asked for a quieter area and they put us in a nice booth with plenty of space and quiet corner. We had a lot of catching up to do so were there for four hours straddling lunch time. Restaurant was busy for a Monday. We had the QSR share plate and chose the wagyu mini burgers, soft shell tacos and salt & pepper calamari - and some champagne. We really enjoyed it and the service was friendly and attentive. Thank you very much for a lovely brunch with a dear friend.
Best Service. I visited from the Sunshine Coast QLD, and was so lucky to stumble onto this amazing cafe/bar. We were in QSR from 1pm - 9pm as it was the NRL grand final Sunday. Sam the manager looked after us all day as did the rest of the friendly staff and the level of customer service was exceptional! When us poor QLDs got cold Sam even closed the front door to the place - I mean what manager closes the front door to their cafe??? He found the footy for us, turned up the volume, and even got happy hour started a little early. The food was amazing, you have to try the breaky Parma!! The pizzas and burgers too (we were there all day) If we didn't have a 7am flight we would have stayed till they kicked us out. Thanks again Sam and team for a warm Melbourne stay!
Great Restaurant/Bar. I visiting from Perth and have been to this bar 3 times over the past 4 days.
The food is delicious, and the Rescue Bloody Mary is the best I have ever tasted! The service is fantastic (especially from Jess) and the friendly relaxed environment makes this a restaurant/bar a definite place to visit.
Love the $10 Lunch Special. Ok, admittedly we eat here a lot. Can't start the day without my coffee and savoury muffin. But the best is the $10 lunch special. food good and staff service excellent.
Highly recommend the yummy mini burgers. Sam the waiter was really friendly ( & handsome ) very cool lunch spot :-)
Great dinner. We popped in for dinner. Staff was efficient and food was great. Love the mini burgers and pizzas in particular. A good place for folks who would like to catch up with friends and speak up a bit.
Awesome food. Wasnt ecpecting much to be honest, but wow amazing salads and best handcut chips ive ever had. big thumbs up!!!
Popped in for a quick breakfast before a flight back to perth and found it to be awesome. Really great eggs, fast service and one of the better breakfasts I have had in melbourne.
Great food, good service but very noisy. Shame I could not hear the person next to me
Had breakfast and dinner and both meals were fantastic. Service friendly and prompt. Great vibe!!!
Love it.. Highly recommend! Definitely one of the best places for a quick lunch in the Melbourne CBD and we've had some great dinners here too.
Relaxed atmosphere, consistently good food and the staff are always friendly and attentive. Make sure you try the pizza (the Wagyu mini burgers are pretty awesome too).
Love the bar and a fresh Sapporo
Great food and nice staff. This is a great place to have lunch in the city. I especially like the mini burgers.
What a surprise. What a little surprise this was. Visiting Melbourne not knowing where to go, found this lovely restaurant with great food and wonderfully friendly staff that made you feel at home.
Tasting plate was excellent and just loved the garlic and fetta dip its a must try.
Just enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of this unique queen st gem. Sunday night visiting downtown Melbourne where to have a light meal? It's a little gem for us interstate visitors staying in nearby city hotels
Recommended. Upon recommendation from a colleague I organised a birthday lunch with friends here. The menu is wide and varied and there is something that will appeal to even the pickiest diner. My garlic prawn pizza was very good, and my friend enjoyed their burritos, nachos and mushroom tostaditas. Service was friendly and efficient. Definitely recommended to book ahead as it gets pretty busy. Large groups might want to pre-order if possible, as when we went (Friday lunchtime) I noticed a number of large groups waiting quite some time for their food. Everything looked really fresh and tasty. A nice little addition to the Queen St strip of cafés.
Delicious, fresh food, friendly service and great value.
Great Spot. I don't write good reviews, but I'll make an exception for this place. Had lunch at Queen St Rescue. Booked late and got a table. The place was busy but didn't have everyone sitting on top of each other. The service was friendly, but non intrusive, and the food was really good! All in all, a great spot. Keep up the good work.
I was very unsure about the location and ambiance , I almost walked away !
I'm glad I stayed !! A place where breakfast is breakfast ! Fresh , basic but effective , no fuss , good friendly service! Coffee was delicious ! I would go back ' try to look past that's it's attached to serviced apartment , in a very boring location of the CBD !
Great place great service, relaxed atmosphere....why arent the kids menus advertised with your main menu or in the rooms ? Kids loved it, we nearly didnt go because we thought it wasnt suitable....
Amazing service extremely friendly staff. Was over on a holiday for the weekend didn't know where to try our dining experience at first went here on Friday night with my partner and we loved it although busy we managed to be lucky enough to be served by the owner he was amazing!
Really loved it amazing food breakfast and lunch staff are very very friendly too!
Would recommend it and would recommend the pasta tried them all and they were delicious!
Had dinner there with few friends, first off we hated because we were ignored by staff, they were understaffed! But once we recieved our food it was amazing! Loved it
This place is fantastic - great food, awesome service & a great atmosphere! I want to go back again & again & again :)
Just as good as I remembered. I'd enjoyed lunch at QSR about three years ago and when it came up in a search for early Sunday breakfasts I didn't need to keep searching. My friends and I had a delicious meal in very comfortable seating at a generous sized table that was well spaced apart from other tables. The staff made us feel welcome and had a laugh with us. Water was brought to the table within a minute of us being seated and without having to ask. Coffee was served exactly as ordered, in good time and fabulous quality. Perfect poached eggs, generous portions and served hot. And we really appreciated that we didn't feel pressured to vacate the table and were able to relax and chat. QSR is going on our favorites list.
Perfect spot to chill after a long day exploring the city.
Great food, great atmosphere, books available for free and great staff.
The offer of food is big, excelente salads and big plates available.
Tip: it’s open on Sunday until late. They serve coffee so if you want a late coffee in the afternoon this is a great place to go!

The Belgian waffles are AMAZING! These aren't your average continental breakfast waffles, these are the CLOSEST I've had to legit Belgian waffles from Belgium. If you don't know the difference, go find out for yourself. They're VERY sweet.
Small restaurant right in the heart of the city. Affordable food with generous portions. Service was a little slow but they had a lot of full tables.once we ordered the food it came out rather quickly.enjoyed arancini, a Parma and pizza. Recommend for small groups, couples and travellers. It's has an outdoor section for people to enjoy drinks and fresh air.
Wide range of delicious food, would highly recommend the veal and pork bolognese. Very prompt and friendly staff. Fantastic prices as well.
Great coffee and customer service ! However expected bit more quality foods. Egg Benedict was over boiled
