Best Lunch Restaurants in Ashwood

We had an early table at 5:45 upstairs. It’s a great room and we were sitting in the area between the kitchen and the bar which was quite narrow, but the staff were very attentive and watching always for anyone moving in that narrow section the restaurant had an amazing turnover of people. Which I would think was a testament to the good service and the good food lots of families having, a quick meal plus others who were grazing and enjoying the atmosphere. The fit out is really really wonderful. Everything was tiptop from the time we walked into the restaurant to the time we left. Nothing was too much trouble. The food was exemplary. we had oysters, fish and steak. The steak could’ve melted in my mouth like it was covered in butter, the oysters were incredible. The cheese platter was incredible. You know I have to say for a local restaurant. It’s a nine out of 10. We will be back at least 100 times thanks for looking after us Grazie.

The staff are very friendly and attentive which was great! We went on Thursday - Steak night which was really good value with chips & side salad & tasty. Delicious banana fritters & icecream for dessert but $15 was on the pricey side for a pub meal. Overall an enjoyable place to eat , but good idea to book as it gets busy .

Great service as usual at rococo hawthorn. Liz our waiter was fantastic. The food was also very good. We know what to expect and they always deliver. Thanks

Sommeliers who know what they are talking about. Food that is delicious. Vibe that is warm. Such a great place! Love it

Eternally grateful that this is in our neighbourhood. Excellent pizzas, interesting wines by the glass, friendly and professional service, and remarkably keen prices (esp for Malvern). The tiramisu is delicious and a huge serve, so we share. We tend to book later in the evening as it can get noisy if big groups are in. Recommend booking as is super popular.
