Stopped for some predrinks at La di Da I hadn't been here in so long but the place has been completely revamped and looks amazing. Its a great setting for a drink.
We called past La Di Da bar for a couple of happy hour drinks. Their happy hour pricing goes from 4-7 on a Monday to Thursday and offers $10 cocktails and $5 spirits, wines and beers. I have eaten in a few
Time on a busy Friday lunch and found the food reasonable good classic pub fare. Tonight we had a super cooked rose wine and I have the Holiday Dreaming cocktails which has just about everything I like
In a drink from gin the lime and mint.
Great decor in the venue. Ambient lighting, prompt kind service. The Parma was perfected, the chips salty and crunchy absolutely perfect. The burger looked juicy and delicious, definitely recommend for a quiet lunch time surprise
I organised La Di Da as part of my bestfriends Hens Party - Barry was AMAZING to work with, by far the easiest person of the whole experience and also such a joy as well. 6 months in the making and when we got there we were NOT disappointed. They organised the champagne room for us, facilities beautiful, food - TOP NOTCH and the service was impeccable, they then allowed us into the club to boogy our butts off until we crawled out. This place should be a definite in any hens special day - we had the BEST TIME. Thanks Barry and the whole La Di Da Crew!!!
Sat under the awning. The heat really radiated off the blinds. They need to be white on the top, to reflect. Felt like heaters were on and no air. But... Service was excellent. Lovely, bubbly girl knew her stuff off the top of her head. Shared nibblies were great. Enjoyed the arancini balls and dips the best. Veggie burger was huge to look at but it was mostly bun. The pattie was tasty but fell apart because it was made with chunky veg. Very messy to eat. I scraped the yoghurt off the bun and ate only the filling. Chips had no sauce so I used the spicy relish from the arancini. Wished I'd ordered the ravioli with pesto. That looked really good and was better value for money ($14.50 vs my $17.50). Good range of beers to choose from.
For whatever reason, this place has been avoided as much as The Dear Luncher avoids healthy foods. Walked past many times, it just seemed like a dump from the outside. But this place surprises. It's a bit run down, but it has an allure about it and plenty of space to sit down for lunch or a big after work drinks sesh.
The popcorn chicken pizza is a real winner. A winner winner chicken pizza dinner, if you will. Ok that's quite enough.

La Di Da is always consistent and good value especially for bigger groups! The food is what you would expect in a nightclub/pub environment with a nice atmosphere. I believe drinks are little on the expensive side but I guess you are paying ‘nightclub’ prices even during the day.
We went there with a Groupan voucher for Kings of Comedy and a free drink last Friday night.
We got there early and it was very busy with after work people but in a good way.
I had a look on the menu, prices were quite all right for the size & look of the meals.We did not have food though.
After a drink we went downstairs for our free drink and the show. We really enjoyed the show and laughed for 2 hours. It was a very good night.
Comfy bar with heaps of space and a nice outdoor area if it's not raining. Good for after work drinks and good for big groups. Takes bookings. Good happy hour prices. Shared some chips and they were pretty good. Bar staff were all friendly. Nothing too special, but a good spot for a drink after work if you're in the area.
ladida is the best place in king street offering food and beverages . large variety of modern aussie dishes and some of best cocktails in Melbourne.. I able to come here couple of time for team lunch every times and got great food and the service .. Friday afterwork is the best ....
Running Kings of Comedy from this venue has been amazing. Professional managers, friendly staff and awesome rooms for comedy! Great menu too!
Great service. Good music and lighting is awesome . bartenders are on point!! .. Over all it as an awesome place to have a quiet beer with some friends 👌
Accepts all comers. Superlative on all levels. Great combo of lunching morphing into cruisy night scene. La Di Da has earned my five stars 👍🏼
Ladida's a venue I've been able to come to on and off over the last 8 years and I've never had a bad experience here. The music is great the staff are friendly and officiant and the food and drinks are always impressive. It's a great venue to have casual drinks with the girls, or a big night out for a dance. I do recommend ladida to many of my friends and family regularly as it suits all budgets and occasions! :)
Been coming to ladida for years, always love the vibe, atmosphere and the friendly service here. Love the cocktails and the crowd wouldnt hesitate to recommend to everybody!
Love the cocktails! And the service is amazinnggggg
Wonderful venue for after work drinks 😍
We are regular here and happy to keep coming back!
Organised my 40th bday party and what a great choice. Barry was so easy to deal with before the day arrived and have to say what a great night with both Gary and Sam behind the bar. fantastic to deal with, gave me everything I asked for and everyone was on board on the night about requests I made for the night. All my friends had a blast and I ended up having a great 40th celebration.
Thanks for a fantastic night everyone at La Di da, especially Gary and Sam. Had great laughs with them both.
Had a great 21st birthday party here. Finger food served on the night was great and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Would happily return and recommend to others.

From outside , You will not be able to make out that there is something like this inside. SInce I was staying at King's street , we were roaming around on one weekday looking for good food. ( We were in Melbourne after all :P ) But since we came late from Office , most of the places were closed or getting closed. That was the time we found this place and it was open. Ambiance : A little dark, With low music ( I think because of the weekday ) and with a lot of colorful lights. There are high chairs , Separate smoke zone area and a lovely seating space. Their bar looks lovely. Food: We were three of us, and there was some weekday offer of a mains and a drink so all of us ordered that . Vegetarian pizza ,Chicken burger ,Hawaiin pizza. I would not say that the pizza was the best Pizza I have ever had , but the ambiance and the food quiet complimented each other . and both the pizzas and burger were upto the mark. VFM : the weekday offer was around 11 dollars with the drink which is pretty good actually .

Love the vibe in this place. The service was excellent. We went for an office lunch here and some wanted to split the bill and they were very accommodative although that's not normal practice. Everyone's food was great. Burgers and Parma particularly. I had a Vegie salad with porched egg. The flavours were great!
Great range of share plates on offer , good healthier salad options and a great happy hour. Come along on a Friday night to enjoy up and coming local comedians supported by some good headline acts. Range of $10 cocktails all day. A good night out.
Pub lunch | good value cheap eats | add to the work lunch rotation
We love heading to la di da for a cheap pub lunch, on Fridays we get the steak or parma with a glass of house wine or a pot of Carlton Draught for $20. The types of steak they use aren't always consistent but the flavours are good and the servings are large.
With only a 2.4 rating on Zomato, I didn't have high hopes going into La Di Da, but luckily I was pleasantly surprised. La Di Da offers ridiculously cheap lunch specials during the week. For only $15 I managed to get myself a parma with chips and salad, and a house white wine. For such good value, the parma was actually pretty good. The chips were well seasoned and the chicken was plump and juicy - nicely topped off with a herbed napoletana sauce.
Just came here for an after work dinner and was abosolutely delighted to find out that I could get a parma for $12.50!! Parma was fine for the price, the atmosphere was pretty awesome..but what left the most positive mark was the customer service from one waitress by the name of Sophia! Awesome, bubbly, honest, friendly...something that I reckon is quite hard to find in hospitality. Simply, the ideal hospitality waitress :) One entree was unfortunately forgotten, but was made up for with free booze! Will certainly be back! :D
My friends and I were very new to Burlesque and we were quite curious of how it’s performed as well as.. how naked the entertainers get. The entertainers basically performed on the stage at 10 minutes intervals and performed for less than 5 minutes each; they role-played with fetish costumes and strip to lingerie at the end of their dance. We saw belly dancer, cow girl, girl with the whip and some ditsy maid. I wouldn’t say that they were all turn ons but they weren’t turn offs either; we saw a lot more couples and working class at La Di Da ha on that evening.
The food isn't all that special, but I enjoy the Moroccan chicken breast. Friday nights has really cheap drinks between 5-6, but it's also very busy. I enjoy the heated outdoor area.
Happy Diner. Great food, great venue!!!
staff were vibrant as well as knowledgeable when it came to ordering my glass of wine.
would recommend this place to anyone!!
keep it up guys!
Great place, great food!!. Had the lamb wrap for lunch, can honestly say, it was the best lamb wrap I've had for quite sometime.
Puts any Souvlaki joint to shame. Big size meal with fluffy chunky chips and the price.......cheap!!
Great vibe to the place, everyone there seemed to be happy & relaxed. Staff are friendly & the owners are great guys.They introduced themselves & I enjoyed a good chat over a nice cold beer. Steve I look forward to meeting you again. Ignore all the negative reviews, some people are hard to please! Will definitely be back!
The food at Ladida is good.. We had a team lunch last week .. Venue look beautiful .. Nice place
No complaints. I had a very pleasant meal here on a Monday evening as a solo female traveller - staff were polite, and my order arrived promptly. I ordered the Thai green chicken curry and a glass of the house red, followed by a passionfruit caprioska. Everything was lovely, and the meal came to a very reasonable $32.50. I would happily dine here again.
Team lunch. Went for team lunch yesterday 22 people, great customer service & best food! I had the fish in mustard sauce wrap w beautiful jasmine rice, best I ever had & recommend everybody to try it!!!!!!!
Awesome night. Great friendly staff, excellent cocktails and atmosphere

OUR GREAT EXPERIENCE FRIDAY 26 APRIL 2013. We bought a voucher to LA DI DA via Cudo: a real bargain as my husband and I wished to see a good Burlesque Show n'more. Our experience is VERY POSITIVE and will explain why:
Despite the voucher having a deadline: Barry McCabe had the kindness to extend the date: we were supposed to go on Friday 19/4: our wedding anniversary but, my husband was on stand-by and, we were forced to cancelled. Barry had the kindness to extend the date for us : a Big Plus
On arrival: a warm welcome: nice smile by the P.R.O. lady: a plus
Drinks were served promptly by 3 x very efficient Bar attendants: they even did not bother to give me a fresh glass of water whenever I wished and ,yes do drink plenty of cold water
The canapes/snacks were abundant , well presented, tasty
Drinks as well as food on the menu very affrodable
Got a table in the spare of the moment: Great food, presentation and price
The MC was great: it was to the same std as one sees in Europe: classy. So was the show: very professional
The Music took us to the nice 80's: yes, great it was : a bit too Loud as we also enjoy to talk ...so, it took over but, easy to rectify
The staff was on the ball: also the Indian young men who clear tables ...they were pleasant and polite
All indicates GOOD MANAGEMENT
We had a MEMORABLE EVENNING AND CAN ONLY SAY: THANKS TO BARRY AND ALL YOUR STAFF: LOVE LA DI DA!
Couldn't be happier. A big thank you to the staff at Ladida for making our lunch time meeting such a success. The food was prepared and served in a timely manner and was faultless. I would also like to add that the managers and staff could not have been more helpful and courteous. Keep up the good work. We have decided to make it a more regular event, see you again soon.
Alas, I have found you :). I've been looking for a place like La Di da for a long time. They are few and far between.
Quality food, contemporary setting and genuine staff who are not only good to look at but good at what they do.
Our lunch today was fantastic and I will definetly be coming back with my work crew..
Cant wait for Friday after work drinks... $10 cocktails !!!!
LA Di Dadah.,,,!!!! ***** F.... LA Di Dadah.,,,!!!! *****
Finally, a place where you can enjoy a great meal and entertainment without all the pretentious food wannabe's.
the staff were friendly and accommodated the extra 3 guests who joined our table unexpectedly.. Well done la di dada
Make up your own mind!. I work down the road @ CGU and have been eating lunch at La di da with my other work mates for the last 8 months at least 3 times a week. We all love the food , speedy service and vibe. Don't listen to the negative stuff, some people just need to get a life! They must be doing something right, the place is always busy!
Just went to their new Burlesque night on Friday - AWESOME. Will be going again for sure!
Do yourself a favour, pop in , make your own mind up.
Great Value Great Club. Well after flicking through the reviews, I was quite shocked to see some of the negative reviews. A lot must have improved, because I commend every aspect of the night from security, to kitchen, bar staff and manager.
All staff were friendly, I had a sit down dinner for 22 people, not one complaint. As a lover of a good steak, I had the sirloin steak, medium rare and it was absolutely perfect! I am not a biased reviewer, I am someone that just wanted to try something different... I wish I knew about this place earlier, because I would have been coming back and will head back for more. Loved the music and the club that it transformed into later. Great work all round guys, thank you for making my birthday a great night to remember. PS. my steak wasn't cold and I did get a steak knife with it ;o) lol

I wanted to share an e-mail I just sent to the owner of La Di Da, Barry. As my Google Review. I booked the whole venue for one of my singles events.
I just have one word for your Venue Manager, Staff, Security, Chef, and Kitchen Crew “EXCEPTIONAL”.!!
The night was just wonderful and everything I ask for or even mentioned some ideas it was no trouble.
I was greeted the whole night with a smile and my members felt very welcomed, safe and had a ball.
I wanted to thank your chef for the outstanding food that came out of his kitchen. Ample food, high standard, and a diverse selection.
The Security who went out of their way to take enquiries at the door, touch base with me on a couple of people and in the end call me a cab and helped with equipment.
The fantastic bar staff who juggled some cocktails in the Champagne lounge and kept drinks flowing all night.
Lastly your Venue Manager Uma is amazing. She takes a lot of pride in her work, clear with instructions, pays attention to detail and is an excellent communicator.
The venue was spotless, and you could tell how proud everyone was to work in a positive environment.
I believe you will see a few private function bookings from the night.
In general, you are just a delight to deal with and I feel very blessed to have walked through your doors.
Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved.
Take care and look forward to future ventures.
Had a function for 45 at the cocktail bar. Food was plentiful and venue was nice and cosy. Perfect place for a stand up party/get together. Decently priced as well.
We recently celebrated our 30th at La Di Da in the Cocktail Lounge. I could not recommend Barry and his team enough. Barry was very accommodating and always had us in mind, wanting us to have the best time. Emily was very attentive during the night and was happy to help us at any stage.
The food we ordered was delicious and many of our guests made comment on how much they enjoyed it.
We had the best night and were so happy that we chose La Di Da.
I booked the champagne lounge for my birthday bash and it was a great success thanks mostly to this fabulous venue, access to great sound and audio technology, delicious food, great drinks and gorgeous staff. The manager Uma and other staff were delightful, accommodating and warm to my guests. Barry was incredibly professional and his communication was outstanding.
My friends and family were very impressed and will keep LaDiDa in mind when they book a function. We are still all buzzing.
Excellent. After calling venues all around Melbourne, La Di Da was the only one that made the process seamless and easy. The value they brought to the event, the quality of the food and the service of the staff were incredible. 'No' was not in their vocabulary and clear communication made booking this venue one less thing to worry about.
Would highly recommend any event being organised at La Di Da.
I finally threw my 30th birthday in the Cocktail lounge after many attempts due to Covid..I'm so glad I did!! Barry was amazing during the lead up and so helpful, he even went out of his way to change the menu with the chef for the vegans!! Emily was great coordinating on the night and the security and bartenders did a great job 👍 very professional! Highly recommended :)
Held a 19th at the cocktail bar with around 120 people at this venue and it was a great night. The staff and security were all really helpful and friendly. The setup of the room, the speakers and the lighting helped make the night great as well.
My partner booked a cocktail party for 80 guests here at Ladida in April. He liaised with Steve for his booking. On the night everything ran smoothly, from the staff on the night coordinating our external vendors such as photobooth, decorations, drinks and servicing. We cannot fault this venue. Decent price for the food and drinks package and reasonable minimum spend for a Friday night. Thanks for making it a breeze to plan a birthday party at your venue!
