Hotel Esplanade is home to not one but two of the best restaurants in St Kilda. No matter what flavour you fancy, whether dining for two or in a large group, Hotel Esplanade is your dining mecca.
As one of the most iconic venues in St Kilda, we’re well known for our 12 bars over 5 levels and our consistent program of gigs, live music and comprehensive art program. However, perhaps what we are most well celebrated for of all is our food. 7 days a week, 365 days a year you can drop by and enjoy a tasty lunch or dinner in our restaurants. While reservations are recommended, we always keep space aside each day for walk-ins.
