Mark proprietor /chef and his lovely wife are doing an excellent job, very welcoming and maintaining the ambience the hotel is so famous for. The setting throughout, the food and friendly, courteous service is excellent. My wife and I frequently dine and entertain at this unique historical hotel, enjoying every moment of our favourite Parma night. Excellent dinkum Aussie meals and atmosphere. Cheers Vic. and Doreen.

Good old country vibe pub!
Good feed with exceptional portions, will fill up the biggest of eaters.
A nice place to stop at whilst visiting the Dandenongs, sit in the front beer garden, enjoy the fresh air whilst enjoying a cold beer off the tap with a decent feed.
Plenty off the street parking available.
2nd visit and didn't disappoint with the expectations that come with a country-like pub!
TAB facilities.

We ordered a chicken parma and the prawn gyoza with a side salad. The Parma wasn't anything special for $25 you could tell it's not home made and frozen and then deep fried and then add the rest. so charging $25 for that is a bit rich. the dish had Verry few chips and a small salad. (The chips were unseasoned). The gyoza was overcooked the pastry fell apart and the salad dressing just tasted like praise mayo and wasn't appetising at all. The staff member that seated us was Verry nice, however the woman at the bar didn't seem interested at all and came of as grumpy and had no customer

Mount Dandenong hotel exceeded my expectations, impeccable service, delicious food and a great atmosphere. I would recommend this pub to anyone who is looking to enjoy themselves and i would hope that they get as lucky as i did and get served by the very accommodating waitress Mera Anne-elizabeth Pringle. Mount Dandenong hotel has my tick of approval 😊

AMAZING !!!!!! I arrived at 6:20 for my 6:30 booking and was immediately met by a lovely staff member named Vanessa Michele Bateman. Once I was seated I was handed a menu that included an amazing variety of delicious food. I ordered a medium rare porterhouse steak that was cooked to perfection and had delicious gravy along with chips and salad on the side. The service throughout the night was some of the best I've ever encountered and everyone was extremely kind.

At first I never actually build any interest on this Binary/Forex trading of a thing but when I later gave it a try with the Help of this wonderful Expert Trader Mrs Janet Wilder, it was a successful trade for me. All i did was to invest $550 into my first trading and to my greatest surprise, I received huge amount of $5,420 as profit in 6 days of… trading... Mrs Janet Wilder was the trader that made it possible and she is still doing it all for me.. You want to be happy and be free like me do well to reach out to her via Email: Janetwilder7@gmail.com WhatsApp: +1 (626) 655-1232

On Melbourne cup day we decided not to follow the crowds, instead a trip to Alfred Nichols park and the Rhododendron gardens was in order on such a magnificent warm day. After the park we unanimously decided a beer and wine were in order and we found ourselves sitting out the front of this charming hotel in the shade enjoying an $8 pale ale can and a $10 glass of bubbly. We didn't eat but we're revitalised enough to try the gardens. The staff were courteous and polite and we agreed it was worth a try another day as the food coming out to others looked pretty good. Always happy to support local

DON NOT RECOMMEND OR GO TO DINE THERE!! RIPPED OFF!! POOR QUALITY!! DISAPPOINTING!!
Out of lockdown and out to support businesses First time experiencing their meal.

Notified the waitress after couple bites too tuff and hard.. She took photo to show Chef Waitress EXCUSED CHEF HAVEN’T BEEN SERVING FOR FOUR MTHS AND JUST BEEN DOING TAKE AWAY, Then asked if we were done when only just started and wasn’t allowed replacement as we had already commenced the dish nor offered any sincere apology
So how is

The food was okay. But the lady staff at the bar was rude and racist. I was in the queue waiting to order, in front of me were two local/Australian customer, I am Asian. The lady at the bar was friendly and chatty towards them, but when it was my turn to order she became very rude, condescending to me. I ordered a jug of lemon lime bitter, she made… it so obvious that she was lip reading and was frowning at me. I don’t understand why she has to do that, we Filipinos have American accent. She rudely place the jug in front of me and didn’t even bother to give me glasses, she went
