I've been coming to this delightful establishment for work lunches quite a lot lately and each time has been wonderful. The service goes above and beyond and the food it's delicious!
[rated 3.5] Average pub food but a good Friday night vibe.
We came by the Exchange Hotel on a whim for a drink and dinner. There was some live music that we really enjoyed. It wasn’t too loud so you could still have a conversation.
The Yorkshire puddings came with a squeeze of Hellman’s rather than horseradish mayo, the burger was pretty average (a common problem - too short on fat leaving it slightly dry and lacking flavour) but the parmigiana was up to standard and of a generous size.
The happy hour sparkling was pretty good too.
Given our overall pleasant experience I’d be back, but I’d be a little cautious with the food order.
If you looking for a Parma and chips place then this is it. They are huge and pretty damn tasty too. Chips cooked perfectly and side salad too. Plus great $10 glasses of wine. Place was buzzing on Friday night. Great pub visit
The King of Chicken Parmas
One of my favorite pubs in Melbourne due to it's great atmosphere and large rooms where you can sit with friends and have a few together. But it gets even better when you order the Chicken Parma, wonderfully cooked and enormous this is the parma that you imagine on your drive home after long friday, covered in cheese and served with a good helping of chips, this parma is a true treat.

When i say chicken, you say parma!!! Boys n girls this place has nailed the classic parma! Not only is the portion HUGE, its super scrumptious too and there was no being stingy with the toppings either!!
The sunday roast pork was also the other hero meal (although the crackle wasn't crunchie but thats just me nitpicking)
this might just be my new sunday hang out!
Favourite dinner spot in Port Melbourne, delicious food and friendly service. Restaurant has a nice atmosphere, love the smoked cod gnocchi and the desserts!
Pleasant place to dine, visited on a Saturday night. Service was very prompt and pleasant. Big menu - something for everyone. We all enjoyed our meals although the portions of some dishes were small. They sent me an email later (as I'd made the booking online) asking for feedback. I said food was good, service was great, and if they increased the portion sizes we'd be back regularly.
A lovely pub to have a good quick meal. No issues with the food or service here.
Ended up going for a farewell lunch and there was no issues with anything. It's great to see that they offer a pre order menu that you can just order before hand and have it ready for lunch at a specific time
Have eaten here a number of times as a friend used to live metres away and locals night has dinner specials. Sit at the bar, have a few wines and a chat and enjoy your discounted dinner. For me I think the food is good but the portions are small. So definitely keep that in mind as I tend to order a main and an entree in order to be full therefore that $19 main deal can go south quickly!
These guys have one of the juiciest burgers in all of Port Melbourne. They welcome our kids every time who scoff the massive parmas while enjoying the sun outside. Nice and close to the beach its a great wee spot to stop for a Sunday arvo lunch and a bevvy
