At the heart of it, we love to cook traditional food. We have created spaces that are inviting. We apply a modern hand to our food, which results in soulful, surprising dishes, each one with its own story to tell.

What others say about us

“Go for the duck and mushroom pie with mashed potato and spinach. Duck meat is braised in red wine and duck stock, mixed with herbs, then encased in a dome of puff pastry and served on a mattress of mash and lentils.”

“Every hour or so, Puffing Billy shunts past, with its white steam and waving passengers. Watch it from the spacious outdoor dining area or in the open-air beer garden.”

“The wine list will be mostly Victorian, and local craft beers and Melbourne Gin Company gin will also be available.”

 

“The Paradise Valley Hotel has just had a bit of a facelift. The team behind Fitzroy North’s The Recreation took over the pub in September 2019.”

“Aside from an enlivening lick of chilli-herb blitz-up chimichurri on that sausage, these are your classic pub staples done well, done with pride, presented without any flowers, flourishes or other signs of cultural cringe.”
