Best Authentic Restaurants in Southbank

We had an amazing experience last night at Hacienda. The staff looked after us with a great view, as I booked a few months ago and requested it. So nice that it was remembered. The food was to die for, amazing. I loved every dish. The Manager was always checking in to see if we are ok. The beautiful waitresses had the most amazing smile that said ‘welcome’. Please don’t lose that. Most of all, my family of 4 come to the city every year to celebrate the years end. We talked, laughed, made fun of each other, watched a guy swim across the Yarra, and drank. The night was a triumph, the team were a big part of it. Can’t wait to go back.

Fantastic traditional Greek food, thoroughly enjoyed with friendly staff and fast service. Thanks

4 of us enjoyed a lovely dinner at Teatro. Our main meals, entree foccacia and tiramusu for dessert were fabulous. All staff were helpful and friendly but our waiter was exceptional. He made a great dining experience even better. Look forward to dining there again when next in the city. A perfect restaurant to dine at before attending a show at the arts centre. Highly recommend.

La Camera is our go-to restaurant when we want to eat in the city, whether it’s for a pre- or after-show meal or a date night. The food is consistently good and the service is always friendly. Plus the location is great!

It was super busy. The service was a little slow. However once we ordered the food & alcohol we received it efficiently. The food was great especially the pizzas. Fresh bases & delicious toppings. A short 5 minute walk from our accomodation.
