Best Modern Australian Restaurants in Mentone

Wanting a feel for Australian cuisine, we selected the sampler on the menu. Six courses representing plenty of food and a wide variety of items came our way. All tasted fantastic. The grilled wallaby, lamb, and smoked trout were especially satisfying. The price was a little steep but we had a great dining experience.

The chefs are really clever in what they prepare for each dish, delicious food, amazingly presented (wish they would share their recipes as a memento of the dining experience). Prepare yourself for a massive feast of 13 dishes. Staff are friendly, ensuring a warm welcome and a comfortable dining experience. The restaurant has elegant décor and views of Melbourne, making it ideal for special occasions. The restaurant is in high demand, so prepare to book few months in advance. Truly a memorable experience.

Donovan’s continues to maintain the highest level of food quality and service. Each dish sings with flavour and you really do want to make each mouthful last. Fresh takes on traditional cocktails make them a unique taste sensation and great wines enhance the food selection. Today we had dessert and coffee on the terrace which further enhanced the dining experience. Our waiter, Oliver, was a charming and knowledgeable member of staff offering professional but warm and relaxed service. He definitely added to the experience. I think Donovan’s continues to deserve its place in the upper echelons of Melbournes fine dining scene.

It’s just a fabulous local pub that does good affordable food and has a great atmosphere. Can get noisy on Fridays and Saturdays.

Just love the Edithvale General Store. Such good food and a great vibe.
