Turning an ageing and outdated restaurant into a modern architecturally designed venue, we have created an enviable facility that has become an integral part of the community and the most awarded restaurant in the area.
With a separate bar area, two function rooms, plenty of on-site parking, disabled facilities & parking, and a menu with constantly changing 'Specials', as well as being able to cater for almost all dietary requirements, we offer our guests the ultimate dining experience, which is why so many keep returning after all these years.

The Dandenong Pavilion strives to support the locals as they accomplish their own independent ambitions and dreams. Involving ourselves in the community is an accomplishment we hold dearly and aim to do better each year. Dandenong Pavilion is a sponsor for local football clubs including Dandenong Thunder, Springvale White Eagles and St Paul's FC.
Following exhaustive research into how Dandenong Pavilion can reduce its carbon footprint on the planet, we have finally arrived at a meaningful and worthwhile solution. The design allows for 150 x 380 watt panels within a 57Kw structure, and we are delighted to learn that this initiative will remove 82,014 Kilograms of gas emissions from the environment each year.

Amazing personalised service, even when they were very busy.
Food is absolutely stunning. Salted perfectly, steak made with no dry spots, chips and break perfectly crunchy. Salad dressed with actual flavour.
Decor is really spot on and bonus points for giving back to the community and installing solar panels.
Definitely will be back someday

Love the venue and look and feel of the place. Beautiful family get together vibes.
Their signature Chicken flourinetine is a winner so we came the second time and ordered the Grilled barramundi and a Pasta dish. Not a fan, nothing special- especially with the price we paid. We will still come back but we will stick with what's popular or what staff recommend. š¤
Staff are friendly as ever.

Sensational food and not badly priced. This place was going off and the staff knew exactly what they were doing. Great menu selections, incredible pizza and drinks on tap. Note they do not split bills so bring cash if you are in a group. Recommend booking before hand as we only just managed to get a table last night

Online menu is not what is available in the restaurant which was disappointing. We had a lot of vegetarians in our group and all they could order was 1 risotto dish or aranchini. General Burger was good but thought it would be better. Parma was big and yummy.
Prices are on the higher side for pub meals.

Be sure to ask for the secret burger menu or you won't get it. There's one called the Francis Underwood (for you House of Cards fans) The burgers are amazing tasty and are juicy not pressed down over cooked hockey pucks like you get usually like at fish and chips shops. I have not yet ventured yet past the burger menu but every dish I saw coming out of the kitchen looked top shelf. It's big and ideal for a get together with friends. On site parking.they don't split bills so be prepared.

A must go for all burger enthusiasts, the Dandenong Pavilion has a secret burger menu that you have to ask for specifically when you arrive, if you do not ask for this secret menu you will not be fortunate enough to experience the true beauty that Dandenong Pavilion has to offer.
If you like adding additions to your burgers, the staff are super friendly and allow you to add whatever you please (as long as it is in the kitchen)
Come hungry to the Dpav, as the desserts are also unbelievable, get the waffle stack!
The dpav is rated in my top 3 burger joints in Melbourne!

Ok.. This place totally wins! We have been coming here at least once a week because they are just great. Those burgers are among the best in town, and other food items are delicious too. Be sure to ask for their secret menu! And you better make reservations ahead of time! It usually takes a while for your food to be ready but believe me it's totally worth the wait.

Dandenong Pavilion was founded in December 2006 by bringing back to live an ageing and outdated restaurant with much original restaurant concepts and definitely one of the most modern eatery in Dandenong. Ever since then, it has become an icon that has been often featured in the bloggers' top 10 burger lists in Melbourne. For me it was okay but the other food besides the burger was just average

Located just off the highway the Dandenong Pavilion has recently undergone a big renovation and is looking nice and fresh.
Having being open for over 10 years, the place definitely caters for locals, large families and group celebrations. There is a large courtyard if you want to sit outside or a few different rooms to sit inside including a nice long table side room - perfect for celebration dinners.
The Dandenong Pavilion is well known for their huge burgers, the majority of which are beef. There are also some tasty pasta and side dishes available - try the Mac and cheese!
Cocktails are simple

This place is known for their burgers but i've never actually tried a burger from here. That's more like my husbands kind of food. I always get the lamb ribs or the lamb&rosmary risotto. It's soooo good! I actually had the risotto tonight for my nephews 6th birthday. This place is a yearly ritual for us for his birthday. Dessert after dinner is a must here. My favourite would easily be the peanut butter parfait but the mini nutella donuts are also the bomb. The restaurant is very spacy with lots of tables inside and outside and can cater for large groups with a private section

This has been on my burger hit list for some time now. ever since it came on the burger radars of the GFG n Burger Adventures... and finally tonight the planets aligned... the dandy pav is on the site of the old pancake parlour .. similar setup to hogs in decor and feel.
Competition is tough but when ur named the best!! I had to try it .. from their separate burger menu I decided to go with the Giro.. Beef patty, melted swiss cheese, braised lamb with truffle mayonnaise. the General sounded too heavy and the Tsar.. well will give it a go next time..
The burger was fantastic! Juicy meat and

The burgers are insane, i have been wanting to try this place for a while now, but i have kind of forgotten it existed. HELLO HERE WE ARE I AM GOING TO BE A REGULAR. The burger i had was called the general and it had the beef pattie along with shredded roast beef and heaps of cheese kind of sauce it was UNREAL. My partner had the jyro burger and it was a beef patty with shredded lamb, cheese and mustard and jalapeƱos it was delicious both burgers were huge and filling. I also got a blue heaven milkshake which was BEAUTIFUL.

I was probably too late to discover this place the other day. Living at just a stone throw, I should have come here a long long time ago.
A nice smiling person welcomed us in and got us the seats we requested ( closest to the heater as it was damn cold). We ordered Chicken Parmigiana and Veg Spaghetti. I must say the size of that parmigiana was way too big than I expected and just by looking at the size, I knew I won't even finish half of it.
The moment I had the first bite, I was regretting not visiting this place long time ago. It was probably the most delicious parmigiana I ever had

I love this place. The owner Danny and his staff are friendly and caring, the interior is contemporary but comfortable, and the food is first class. The lamb and rosemary risotto is an all time favourite for me but there are lots of other great things to eat here too. Their beef burgers are good enough for many to cross town for, but for me, the calamari or their open souvlaki are my next favourite meals. This place has set the standard for contemporary dining in Dandenong ever since they opened and draws a crowd to prove it. It's not the Fat Duck, but it is the bomb in this part of town

Brilliant!!! Brilliant food. Brilliant service. Brilliant atmosphere.
The food was sensational. We had a big party so we tried everything from burgers (be sure to ask for their secret burger menu or you won't get it), pasta, steak and salads and everyone was wrapped with their meal.
The service was excellent. Efficient, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We bought a birthday cake along and they put sparklers on it and gave us plates and spoons and napkins at no charge. It was great.
Everything is really reasonably priced and the portions are huge! But more importantly, the quality

Dandenong Pavilion truly is a south eastern gem.
It has a really varied menu (it can be difficult to decide which dishes to choose from!) and the service is really good without being in your face.
I had someone tell me that it was 'like sizzler' and that person is a liar because the atmosphere is really nice. It's been busy every time I have been but no loud music, you can still talk easily even on a table of six or more.
If there is a group of you having dessert the Return of the Mack is quite large and really yummy, like a massive brownie dessert for 4 or more.. it doesn&apos
