Update: Came back a second time and dinner was exceptional. The vinegar potatoes cakes were crunchy, soft and tasty. Our mains included the gluten free Soppressa and hot honey pizza, and a veal schnitzel. Both were delicious and would highly recommend. Our waitress was professional, friendly and the food came out at a reasonable time. 5/5 stars! Past review: Very nice restaurant with a friendly and warm atmosphere. The food was nice and the service was pleasant. We ordered the Porterhouse steak with jus, crab linguine and the fried pepper chicken as an entree. Crab linguine wasn't to our taste, but the pasta was cooked perfectly and the steak was very tasty. Would recommend the pepper chicken. They catered for our gluten free requirements - coeliac accreditation. Would definitely come back and try the rest of the menu.

Thank you so much for having us. All the staff was very attentive especially thanks to tommy who looked after us. He was very nice and knew what he was doing. Food was great however we didn't enjoyed the gnocchi was abit flavourless but except that everything was amazing!!! We loved the cocktail and the selection of wine as well.

I come here very often, and every time I bring my friends, they’re always impressed. The beer and food are both excellent. The staff are lovely and provide great service. There’s plenty of seating, including outdoor seats, so it doesn’t feel crowded at all. The restrooms are very clean as well.

One of our absolute favourite locals! Friendly staff, an awesome atmosphere, and consistently great food. We love the $25 steak night, you can’t go past the pepper sauce. They’re also very allergy-friendly, especially for coeliac. Always a great experience at the Gurty! ❤️

A great pub with good food and cold beer. I had a pizza which was really good, but could have had a little more pork on it. Friendly staff with good service. It's in a very nice area of Melbourne with a great view of the Melbourne museum.
