A great rustic-chic pub and grill serving southern European-style food and featuring live DJs on weekends. Ludlow is a modern riverside pub with a laid back and lively atmosphere situated on Melbourne’s beautiful Southbank. With a public bar, dining room and huge beer garden terrace overlooking Melbourne. Serving up great food & wine, cold beers & cool cocktails. A great place to catch up with colleagues for after work beverages, lunch or dinner in their dining room with friends and family or relax in their public bar to watch some sport, enjoy some drinks and a bite to eat. The Hosts are always welcoming, has comfortable indoor and outdoor seating with heating, and with views of the riverside. The menu caters for everyone and is very reasonably priced, and I suggest you try the Sunday Roast with all the trimmings for $35.00 - amazing value, tasty and full of flavour and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended 👏👍😊

we were walking past and thought we’d see if they had a table even though they were clearly very busy. Our server told us if we waited about 5 minutes a table would be available and there was about a 45 minute wait for meals. We are so glad we waited, our server Paige was amazing and the meals were delicious !! The crab linguine is a stand out meal would recommend to everyone and anyone. The pork was also delicious

I had a wonderful night. I am from Asia and ask for a customized dish for vegetarian. All servers are very friendly to help us. I got the delicious food. Thank you for serving us nice dinner.
