WINNER: BEST REGIONAL PUB RESTAURANT 2024 - AHA (Vic)

Under the guidance of Head Chef Brendan Anderson, our menu celebrates local produce, cooked over open flame with skill and care. Whether you’re seeking a nostalgic pub classic, or something a little more elevated, The Victoria offers something to suit all palates and dietary requirements.

Enjoy wine pairings from a selection that pays tribute to the region's exceptional winemakers. Or take a journey through the cocktail menu where locally distilled spirits provide an artisanal twist on the classic standards.

Our open-air, dog-friendly beer garden is the ideal place to enjoy our casual dining menu and a refreshing local ale in summer; while our roaring fires offer the perfect ambience for enjoying a famed Rutherglen Muscat in the cooler months.

Our complete a la carte menu is delivered with full table service in our indoor dining areas (bookings recommended), while our beer garden and public bar areas feature an all-day casual & lighter dining menu on a walk-in only basis.

From a casual meal with friends, to exclusive private dining experiences, The Victoria is yours to explore and enjoy whatever the occasion.
