The "Belle" of St Kilda, The Village Belle Hotel, is here to welcome back regulars and new faces.




Absolutely love the vibe of this place! The spacious interior, lush greenery, and live music on a Saturday made for such a great atmosphere. Even though it was busy, we had no trouble getting a table. The staff was super friendly, the food was delicious, and the drinks? So affordable especially the specials! Definitely a spot worth coming back to!
Visited on a busy Sunday – the place had a great atmosphere and was full, which we liked. However, the experience didn’t quite live up to expectations. There was a large, fresh stain (looked like ketchup) on the wall or window near us, which wasn’t the nicest to sit across from. We waited 50 minutes for our food, and when it finally arrived, it was only lukewarm. We both had the turkey and ham – the turkey tasted processed, and the ham portion was small with more fat than meat (see below). On the plus side, the roast potatoes and cauliflower cheese were tasty. It was advertised as bottomless roasties and gravy, but no one came over to check on us once during the meal. I understand Sundays are hectic, and the staff seemed stretched, but for $40 each, the meal absolutely was not worth it. A few improvements could make a big difference.
Had many beers and app help from Aoife, Also recommended we stay and try the Mexican parmy which was the best in St Kilda!!! Thanks Aoife you are a star and will go high!
Great pub food and amazing interior! We really enjoyed the Lamb Shank Curry, the meat was very tender with fatty bits on the joints. The accompanying curry had an aromatic spiciness and lovely chickpea textures which really enhanced the dish. We also recommend the Beef & Red Wine pie, the filling was hearty and flavourful with some peppery-ness. The crust was especially good because it wasn’t too hard.
A wonderful meal in surroundings that offer a great ambiance and vibe! The lamb shank curry was exquisite! Tender and absolutely delicious! The $6 a pot Guiness was most enticing! The live music was a great accompaniment!
