About the venue

A St Kilda Icon that has been embedded in the tapestry of St Kilda since 1891, the Village Belle Hotel reopened its doors to unveil a new look in time for the new year. The much-loved heritage-listed St Kilda pub has been restored, renovated and is now an all-purpose, sleek, contemporary, double-storey venue encompassing all-year-round beer garden, public bar and cocktail lounge across four distinct areas: The Garden Bar, Balcony Bar, Public Bar and The Doulton Lounge. The "Belle" of St Kilda, The Village Belle Hotel, is here to welcome back regulars and new faces.

Balcony Bar & Mezzanine

The Garden Bar & Restaurant has been especially designed to be functional all year round. A contemporary concrete and glass structure, the striking space includes custom-made, steel framed windows and operable glazed walls that lift upward to maximise space. Even better, a retractable roof, as well as misters and fans, make it the perfect spot for soaking up the summer sun, while heaters mean Melbourne's temperamental weather won't stop the fun in the cooler months. The space also boasts a range of delicious dining offerings for every occasion, from casual catch-ups with friends and family to intimate birthday dinners to business lunches.

Village Belle Hotel serves the best Sunday lamb roast I’ve ever had. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned, with rich gravy and fresh sides that were spot on. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively, making it a perfect spot for a weekend lunch. Highly recommended for anyone after a top-notch Sunday roast.

Village Belle Hotel has a decent atmosphere and is a nice place to sit and catch up, but overall the experience didn’t quite justify the price. The food was okay — nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. Unfortunately, both the food and drinks felt overpriced for what was on offer. All in all, it’s an alright venue for the atmosphere, but there are better value options around.

Restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seats. Food was good and prep time was not much. Will recommend. Few parking options nearby.

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!
