I attended my Uncles wedding at Doyles a couple of weeks ago and had a really good experience.
The ceremony took place outside and was laid back and funny (perfect for my uncle). After the ceremony we moved into the bistro for lunch.
We were seated in a private room with a big round table which was great.
I ordered the Cob Loaf with garlic butter, and the Doyles Pumpkin Risotto. The cob loaf came out warm and was delicious. The risotto was also great, however probably a smaller serving size that I expected. Everyone else on the table seemed happy with their meals too, and there was a lot of options on the menu to choose from.
The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service could be improved - my cousin had to give the menu's out to everyone on the table, and the waiter/waitress would walk away from the table before taking everyone's drinks orders. The meals are also a bit more expensive than I'd expect at a bistro.
Overall a great experience though.
Nice place for a great meal

Doyles Deck & Bistro is located on Nepean Highway in Mordialloc. It’s a big complex with 3 different dining areas & spacious rooms for functions. With decks overlooking Mordialloc Creek which leads out to the beach, the views are spectacular.
As a local, I’ve been here many times & generally dine in the cafe/bistro area which has a gorgeous outdoor deck area. It’s so tranquil being right on the water watching the boats bobbing along.
Their tapas menu is my go to, they have some great options as well as plenty of entrees, mains & wood fired pizzas. The food has always been impressive, especially the seafood dishes.
On my last visit we devoured the calamari, the pulled pork sliders & jumbo prawns with chilli jam. I love a good range of tapas dishes & there are loads of delicious ones. The char siu pork belly is incredible as are the arancini.
Doyles have a great range of drinks too as well as cocktails jugs. Our Pimms jug was gorgeous & so refreshing, loaded with fruit & ice.
I’ve visited Doyles many times & the food has always been consistently good with friendly service. It’s a great spot to catch up with friends, sit out on the deck with delicious food & drinks with stunning views.

Despite a booking for 11am we couldn’t be seated for another half hour so we went next door the the Bridge Hotel Cafe and had a great timeZ
Eventually we got our table and the place then filled up quickly.
Lovely to see the boats and water. Nice vibe to a restaurant.
The pace was speeding up as more and more diners arrived so we ordered quickly.
We chose mostly Caesar salads but there was also calamari, fish and chips and steak and risotto.
Food was good. Not great but good.
Service was excellent.
Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. High chairs available. Toilets clean. Good parking out the front or car park at the rear.
Gets noisy but it is a large restaurant. Nicely Christmas decorations.
Bistro dining at its best, this place has dropped the gold for years now I’ve been coming here for over 10 years and the meals are always cooked to perfection and generous portions.
Great service and I’m a nice day it’s great to sit out on the decking ...
today we celebrated a birthday and we started with afew entrees and for my main I ordered the eye fillet tornados which is served with king prawns and veggies.
This spot will always deliver great food and great service ..
Lovely place to have a few drinks.. beautiful atmosphere. I love the views and location! Would recommend this place, especially on a nice summers day
Amazing wood fired pizzas. Ordered over the phone for pick, really friendly staff and very accommodating to making changes to pizzas. The pizzas were hot on pick up and ready with the time we advised. The pizza base itself was a great consistency, nice and high on the crust with the wood fired charred effect. Tasty toppings, the leg ham was full of flavour and the pepperoni nice and spicy. Will definitely be ordering from here again!

Dined in this time, the tapas were really great, the saganaki was amazing. The bruschetta and Arancini were nice too. The paella was a bit disappointing as as the brownie. Great wine and great staff! Will be back for more tapas and pizza!
The bistro is very overpriced for the quality of the food and the service isn’t the greatest either. After being to both I do find the cafe staff more friendly. They are charging way to much in the bistro , hence why there is never as many people there in there as there use to be in years ago. The cafe and bistro food come from the same kitchen but you have to pay $10-$20 more for food in the room next door, personally not worth it! Great outdoor area , specially in the summer! Great local place to relax.
Definitely a local favourite of mine and my families!
We come for dinner, snacks or just to chill with drinks.
We come in winter and sit by fire. We come in summer and sit on deck.
When last there I had their seafood sliders!
Delicious!
At other local eateries I have found they are dry but I'm always guaranteed a juicy tender succulent slider here!
Can't wait for my next visit!
This place is great for groups with a good variety of food in a very nice setting. It's great to sit outside by the water on a nice evening watching the sun go down. The service is very attentive which means I'll definitely be back.
We were a bit hesitant about the restaurant after reading some recent reviews but our lunches were great, especially since two of us were able to use the Seniors menu! This made the prices reasonable whereas the full prices were rather excessive. The brisket was beautifully slow cooked, perfect. The grilled fish was well cooked and not at all greasy. The chips were standard but fine. There was a bit of a wait for drinks but the staff were extremely friendly and helpful despite being busy.
Great experience all round! Food was excellent, the lobster ravioli is recommended. It got busy really fast so if you are planning for dinner better book or get there early. I think it was reasonably priced and the staff are friendly and provide prompt service.
The only change I would suggest is to reposition the specials board. People waiting to be seater often stand in front of the board and cannot read whats on it.
I should give you 5 star ⭐️ but I couldn’t.
View , location perfect. I had great experience on the new year eve. 2 yrs ago To have fish n chips. It was the best fish n chips ever in Melbourne 💕💕 I kept thinking to go back often.
Fish so fresh batter and portion size perfectly cook. after I kept telling everyone go there for fish n chips.
This time every dishes good as it was.
But Fish n chips this time disappoints me. 🥹
my partner has booking but when arrived there has no booking but I understand the mistake. Staff try to fix it. 👌
I hope you try your fish n chips back to be the best again as everything else were great.
I will come back again. for sure.
Nice food - staff seemed a bit inexperienced… new hires I’m guessing. They were pleasant though - I’d say this is a dining experience that can only improve after the ownership change! Great views, good bar … nice outdoor seating overlooking the yachts.
Bridge's cafe over creek was my favourite place for many years.
Returning here with friends was a bit different experience. It was crowded and squeeze somehow. Staff was excellent. Great list of drinks like always. Pizza and white bites ok. But 15% surcharge on public holiday is too much.
