A very chilled hangout spot for some nice drinks with friends. Great cocktails, will definitely be coming here again.
Not sure on what to have for lunch, pass by this restaurant and why not?! We ordered the crispy King Salmon & charred chicken salad. The food is good, just that the chicken is a bit too dry for us, other than that everything is good. Service is good too 💚
We stopped into Left Bank for a few drinks on a lazy Sunday afternoon, and decided to also grab some snacks. This bar is perfectly located at Southbank, along side the river, and has fantastic views of the city and pasding foot traffic. The bar is quite large, with lovely, modern furniture and a cool vibe.
It was quite busy as it was a sunny afternoon, but there was enough staff to make sure we received everything promptly. The bartenders were friendly and made us feel welcome.
We had a few snacks. Some arancini that were crunchy and tasty, a bowl of crispy chips and some sliders. The mini burgers were good, but could have used some more sauce, although they were very cheesy.
Left Bank is certainly a pleasant bar, and I could think of worse ways to spend an afternoon. With it's fun ambience and friendly staff, we will be back again.
Went with two mates for the Melbourne Cup lunch. Food was delicious, staff were friendly and attentive, and it was just an all round great experience. Looking forward for upcoming mid week catchups with friends, as we loved it that much. Will be back for next years Cup day too.
Visited Left bank today..
We definitely enjoyed perfect meal to compliment today's perfect sunny weather.
Friendly staff, amazing live music and great food.
Thanks you Left Bank.. Definitely coming back
Came to this place for Friday afternoon drink with some work colleagues. They are running special promotions with 50% all foods and beverages. Nice selections of wine and it's good quality too. We ordered some nibbles and few bottles of pinot noir to share. Nice ambience and good services.
I visited this place for a friend's birthday and we has a great time. The food is really Amazing with great options for vegetarians as well. Absolutely loved their Gnocchi. One of the best I had in a long time. The service was excellent as well. Great atmosphere. I would definitely visit again.
Great pizza, good atmosphere and AMAZING cocktails!!! Staff were super friendly and helpful. Good variety on the menus too. Will definitely be back.
Affordable dining overlooking the Yarra on Southbank.
Friendly, efficient staff. Calamari salad was outstanding, generous portion, fresh & tasty & the calamari were very tender. Angus beef sliders were also a hit.
Great place to sit & enjoy a meal and a drink from their extensive drink menu.
A great place just next to Yarra River. Nice ambience. Staff is very helpful and cheerful. The service is quite fast. The outdoor seating with a view of city across the river is amazing.
If you like vegetarian food, do try grilled Broccoli. Salt n pepper Calamari is a must. If you like beer, try Furphy crisp lager. If you like cocktails, Charlie Chaplin is a recommended one.
Went for a bottomless brunch, and have 0 regrets. Cocktails were great and the food was to die for. Definitely a good idea to share the meals, as some can be a bit small. The atmosphere was awesome and the music definitely gets you groovin!
Amazing venue, great for a catch-up, dinner and celebration.
First time dinning at Left Bank was on Sunday the 15th, Sophie was our waiter and she was bloody amazing. Wonderful service, always smiling and made sure we were okay. I came back to dine again today hoping to see her because her service was amazing, unfortunately it was her day off. It’s those type of service that makes you feel like you’re at home, and you have a feel like you belong there.
Speed of the service will vary based on how busy the venue is, so I recommend ordering some drinks while waiting for your meal. Overall, amazing experience and will be coming back again for the oyster, it’s a must try!
Had the Bottomless brunch here last weekend. Probably one of the best ones we’ve tried (we’ve been to a few). Staff were soo friendly! Large variety of food options! Drinks service was a lot quicker than most bottomless brunch places. Highly recommend! Will definitely be returning.
The outdoor seating at the restaurant had a good view. We got a seat quickly and the hostess and wait staff were very friendly, helpful and cheerful. The waiter went to double check my order was Gluten Free everytime I asked when a dish came out. The wine selection is extensive and organized by types like light aromatic, whites with texture etc 😊 They have a very extensive bar menu which is great!
The Arancini cakes were so tasty and best of all Gluten Free! The calamari too was yummm and well cooked and crumb fried with Gluten free crumbs. The Pork and Beef mains were well cooked and the sauces were flavourful. The salted caramel Torte being Gluten Free was a pleasant surprise.
Overall a great place for views and good Gluten Free food!

Update (8 June 22): I promised to these guys that I'll be back soon. And I was there today for a lunch with a colleague.
John made us comfortable right under a heater as it was a very cold day. Thanks John!
I ordered the same dish that I ordered two weeks back: a large plate of Snapper. Why the same dish while I could order a different Friday? Well, how do you find out about the consistency of a meal then? I was certainly impressed.
Everything else that we ordered including the side dish of kalamari (OMG! That's a must try!), The chips (don't order if you are on diet. They are irresistible.), and the prawn spaghettini were absolutely delicious.
So, the experience was once again excellent.
Another word for John & Vince - I noticed that they were looking after all patrons equally and seemed genuinely interested in making it a good experience for all. Thank you again John and Vince!
Ruby: thank you for being super responsive. No doubt why you guys are top notch.

I usually do not have high hopes for good service and tasty food at restaurants which are too crowded. Left Bank surprised me on my visit yesterday. I went there with a group of my colleagues.
When we reached the restaurant, we were greeted and welcomed. We had more people than the number a table was reserved, and the restaurant manager quickly arranged for additional chairs and tables to accommodate us. When staff are laughing with you, that's a sign of good hospitality and their own sense of service. A plus!
Drinks service was super fast. You order through a QR code at your table, which is a convenient way to ensure you get the right order. Although personally I do not like to share my information.
Food: Entrees were quickly served. Broccoli never disappoints me, but sadly the grilled/lightly roasted broccoli tasted bland. A hint of salt or some sauce can transform it.
For mains, I ordered Snapper and my goodness, I never had such a delicious snapper before! The combination of potatoes, crab, spices and sauce was amazing. Kudos to the Chef!
My colleagues enjoyed their meals too.
Vibe: Left Bank has a welcoming, upbeat vibe. And I guess a lot of it is because of its serving staff. They all seemed busy yet happy. A smile makes all the difference, isn't it?
Ambiance is great. I loved the decor and how the seating arrangement has been made which leaves enough room for people to roam around or sit comfortably.
I will be back! ;)
