3182, love this place, best staff, best DJs.. one of the best bars in St Kilda!
This place has amazing service and great food. The music was also so easy to listen to not to loud. Will definitely return

The staff are always excellent at Veludo and whilst the clientele seems to have changed a little in the eight or so years I’ve been coming here lending it self to a younger crowd of late (or perhaps I’m just getting older) the service is consistent. We popped in just before lockdown and the atmosphere was pretty lively for a school night, though nothing beats it during daylight savings times!
Further update
I had the salt and pepper calamari and chips with aioli on this occasion and was pretty satisfied. The street is buzzing now that the weather is warming up so it’s a lively venue and the menu covers of all the classics at princepoints that are very accessible. No complaints here
Update
My summer routine used to be as follows; leave home, jump on the tram, arrive at acland street, eat a steak sandwich at Veludo, walk to St Kilda beach. Now I’ve moved to the burbs and things have changed at Veludo too, the interior looks markedly different and then menu boasts a lot of pasta dishes in place of my beloved steak sanga.
One constant however, it’s still in the entertainment book and therefore very reasonable considering they are quite affordable to begin with. Pick your pasta pick your sauce all the same price, pretty simple. I gravitated to the creamy pesto fettuccine and it was delish!
Original review
I recently went to dinner with a friend on a Tuesday where unbeknownst to us they run an all you can eat buffet for $16. Look the food wasn't the greatest but the price point was fantastic so in terms of value for money it wasn't too bad. Would still probably order a la carte next time but it's worth keeping in mind the actually run a different dinner special each night.
Veludo is a cool bar to hang out for a good afternoon session. It gets busy at night with a young crowd, but it's OK during the day if you are looking for some yummy drinks along busy Acland Street.
We headed upstairs where they have an outdoor balcony, but chose to stay indoors. We found a good table and decided upon a couple of delicious margheritas which were a fabulous choice on a Summer's day. The drinks were nice and tart, and they weren't stingey with the tequila. The lime juice was fresh, and I could easily get addicted to these cocktails.
The vibe is fun, and I loved all the gilded mirrors lining the wall. It was busy, but not packed; but I can imagine it being really popular on weekends and nights. The staff were excellent and service was quick and friendly. I would definitely head back to Veludo for another afternoon of cocktails, especially when the weather is good.
Veludos new menu is absolutely awesome 👌🏻 the gnocchi was superb and the house special pumpkin risotto is a must try... I will definitely be back here
A local favourite. Yummy pork belly and delicious gnocchi. Consistently good food overall, even though there may be slight variations. Recent changes to the cash register means they don’t take Amex anymore... but still a good place for a casual drink and meal.
I've been here at St Kilda fest for good espresso martinis, I've since found out their food is spot on as well.
Had about 4 different entrees, main & dessert which were all equally pleasure inducing.
Friendly staff. I would not complain if I had to go back
I haven't eaten here but the cocktails are definitely good. However, they probably look better than they taste. Also no table service. However, we spent a few hours here sitting in their comfy armchairs, watching the thunderstorm slurping cocktails.

Points for: Fresh, tasty dishes, lively atmosphere, discounts
Dine Time: weekday dinner
Seeing Veludo offer discounts across so many platforms makes me a bit apprehensive, but decided to give it a go while enjoying a warm night along the beach.
We sat outside to enjoy the lively atmosphere of Acland St, however it was a little bit loud from the music coming from the speakers, people around, buskers. The table we had was so small, it could barely fit 3 plates.
While it wasn't really busy yet (around 6:30pm), the food actually took quite a while to come out (15-20 mins).
The haloumi salad was pretty filling with pumpkin and kale. The haloumi itself was nicely grilled and had a mild saltiness, and with the grilled chicken, went perfectly well.
Lamb koftas had a good meaty, lamby taste with a nice crust and still kind of medium on the inside. Paired really well with the tzatziki and pickled cucumber, with the soft pita to carry it together.
The steamed mussels with prawns and chorizo was decent value - although had disappointing points to it. The prawns were a little small, the chorizo was more of a kransky, and the mussels were the size of my little figernail. However still a tasty dish with the spicy tomato sauce.
There are places that when I have asked for a medium rare steak I get medium or a medium well. Then there are places that get it right, and to be fair it's not always easy doing so. This place got it right.
So a big tick from me.
The dessert was not as good as the rest of the meal but still nice. I think though I was so full that I couldn't eat anymore even of I tried. And yes I did try, but was just stuffed silly.
Service was lovely and whilst the place was a bit quiet for a Saturday night, it still has a nice atmosphere.
Came here for the big fight and it was a great place. We didn't fancy a pub venue so ended up here, it was quite cozy and the atmosphere is lovely. Staff were all very friendly and the prices are really good.
The Nutella hot chocolate is to die for!
Came with Groupon.
Friendly and accomodating staff, didn't have to wait too long for food.
Serving sizes were good, particularly entree and main.
However, the dessert tasted and looked like it could have been brought from Woolworths.
Good value for money but wouldn't be happy paying full price.
This Restaurant is a hidden neighbourhood gem, great Staff, incredible food and reasonable prices!! We booked this Restaurant, not knowing what to expect. When we arrived, there was only one other couple eating in the Restaurant. We had looked up the menu before arriving, but the Restaurant had recently updated the menu, so our picks weren't listed. We stayed and ordered something else instead. The steak was cooked perfectly and the calamari salad was a massive serving and tasted incredible! The staff were amazing and Aaron (my daughter asked the staff member his name, hopefully she got the name correct!), who looked after us for dinner, made the dinner much more memorable for my wife and two children. Thank you very much for dinner 😊
Pretty great place - the food I ordered was quite nice (the buttermilk chicken burger) and decently cheap. The real highlight was the staff, who were quite kind. Although it was quiet when I arrived at around 2, 3pm, my lunch did take a while which is my only - quite minor - complaint! I would certainly return next time I'm in the area.

Great messy burger, chips and sauces were fantastic and all for $15 lunch special. The decor was shabby chic, presentation nice and the great couches out front for people watching with a drink. Only downside was we weren't offered drinks at the start and our meal took a bit to come out so we were left waiting. Overall though not a bad place for lunch.
Steak was great! The side salad and chips where actually amazing too. Very happy :)
Great place for a quick meal and a drink.
Salad was excellent value for money
Risotto a bit on the small side but very tasty
Beer on tap and great variety at the bar
