Re Nov 10 Lunch in the Bellagio Room.
An absolutely sensational performance by all at the Grand Hotel ,Richmond.
The meal was the best food I have ever had in Melbourne ! Plenty of it ,cooked to perfection and non-pretentious .The table also ended up with a plate of gnocchi which was outstanding. Comments made the 'best they had ever had'
The BELLAGIO room was classy with plenty of room for 8 guests.
The service by 'Dorek'? was outstanding . The food dishes explained and never an empty glass.He organised the time frame between starters and mains.A very friendly and efficient employee.
A 10/10 event !!
Best pub, best vibe, best food, best staff, best ever 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Everyone knows how much I LOVE yum cha....well now I also love ITALIAN yum cha! Complete with chopsticks and bamboo steamers for some items, this fantastic take on traditional yum cha is a must try!
We shared these dishes:
1. Potato Gnocchi (burnt butter & sage)
2. Beef Ragu Lasagne (parmesan & basil)
3. Margherita Pizza
4. Pumpkin Tortelli (amaretti & oregano)
5. Tiramisu
6. Vanilla Ice Cream
We absolutely loved our dining experience here. Originally came here because of the entertainment book, and so glad we did. Our waitress was so incredibly helpful with wine matching, and the food was delicious! Their staple is the gnocchi, and it really was a melt in your mouth dish. My bf got the beef cheek which was tender and rich, and I ordered the mushroom pasta which id also highly recommend. A great fine dining option in a pub atmosphere.

This was my first visit to The Grand and I must say I was extremely satisfied with everything
We walked into an empty bar but I could see a busy dining room through a connecting door, which we entered and greeted by s friendly face. The table was well laid out with a folded cloth serviette and nice cutlery and glassware
The service was very polite and friendly and the food was exceptional. Primarily Italian cuisine, well presented and ever so tasty. You do need sides as the main meals lacked many accompaniments.
The wine menu is extensive with plenty of Italian offerings as well as Australian
We even had a lit candle on one desert as it was my wife’s birthday and all six diners really enjoyed their evening
You can register as a V I P diner and get preferential treatment in one of the private dining rooms, which are available.
When we asked about the VIP we were referred to the manager who sadly should not be the manager, but despite this cold individual we will be back again. Milan our waiter was awesome
It cost around $100 per head
Parking could be an issue
We had my daughters 21st family Birthday lunch here - we were well looked after - food was fantastic - everyone happy - great selection of wines and the deserts were amazing - highly recommend private rooms upstairs and casual eating downstairs
The birthday degustation is the perfect gift for any foodie. The food is delicious and elegant. This is a great option to sample a wide range of dishes but you have allow for 2.5 hours for the 6 courses. We were told that the menu changes almost daily (save for some of the signature dishes) so we will definitely be returning soon! And to top it off, the host and wait staff were attentive and very polite.
The Grand has been voted on numerous occasions the Best Pub Dining Room in Australia. It is also currently the Only Pub in Australia to have been awarded a coveted Age Good Food Guide Chefs Hat (12 times). Long being regarded as an Institution of The Melbourne Dining scene it's combination of Fine dining Italian Restaurant, casual fun Pub bar, cracking beer garden and beautiful new private dining rooms brings a uniquely Melbourne offering for both travelers and locals alike.

Will come back for:
+ Gnocchi with brown butter and sage
+ Duck liver parfait
+ Roasted pork belly
The moment you walk into this place, and you get greeted by the waiters here, you know you’ve come to somewhere special. The wait staff seem to really care for their diners. The complimentary focaccia and olives was a delightful way to kick off the meal. We had some scallops (which although good was a relatively small dish) , the duck liver parfait (super rich, delectable and textural with the brioche), and probably one of the best gnocchi’s I have had anywhere. The gnocchi was well balanced, light and fluffy and the burned butter sauce and sage was delicious. We also had the swordfish (this was on the salty side tonight), and the pork belly (well balanced with the pear sauce and well cooked) for mains. And finally, we rounded things off with the Bombolina which was good (although we did expect more of it given the price). Overall, it was a great dining experience. Service was exceptional, food was good to great. Prices are towards the fine dining end. They were lots of locals enjoying their meals and you can see why. Will definitely come back to try out some of the other dishes.
Italian yum Cha at the grand, well worth a visit. The gnocchi with burnt butter which is apparently there signature dish was absolutely 100/10 one of the best. All the pasta was beautiful, lamb skewers, bruschetta, pork croquettes some of the highlights. A few dishes were just ok but overall a really good feed. Nice bar out the back as well.
I went to the Italian yum cha which was such a cool concept.
I had:
Lasagna
Pork croquet
Crab risotto
Porcini arancini
roast pork belly
Fried calamari
Dessert donut
Lemon tart
Wow I was so full by the end. They were all so good except the risotto which was too sour and donut I didn’t like. Everything else was amazing, standout was definitely lasagna and pork belly.
Waiters were very polite and friendly and happy to help with whatever we needed. The food was amazing. I couldn’t recommend the gnocchi in butter and sage dish enough - amazing.
Not too pricey depending on what you order but you pay for quality.
