Restaurants with Full Details
#1 O.MY Restaurant — 70 Old Princes Highway
Fine_Dining | ★ 4.9/5 (606 reviews) | $$$
What makes it great: Creative, garden-to-table tasting menus, served in a rustic-chic dining room with smart decor. O.MY Restaurant does not need a rebrand or a renovation. It needs you to sit down and order.
Rated 4.9 by 606 locals on Google — and the ones who come back do not bother leaving reviews.
What locals say: *“Visited in Nov 2025
Even though this fine dining establishment is located a bit outside of Melbourne, the journey is absolutely worth it. O.MY is one of the best fine dining exper…”*
Not cheap, but the quality justifies the spend. This is a deliberate night out.

#2 Grande Kitchen & Bar — 11 Clyde Road
Mexican | ★ 4.6/5 (41 reviews) | Outdoor seating
What makes it great: The kitchen at Grande Kitchen & Bar runs on precision and repetition — the same dish, perfect, every time. Melbourne is still figuring out Mexican food. This place is further along than most. The kind of restaurant that makes you eat slower because you want it to last.
41 people have reviewed Grande Kitchen & Bar on Google. The average sits at 4.6. Earned, not gamed.
What locals say: “Amazing food, bold flavours, and great portions. Everything tasted fresh and authentic, and the atmosphere was just as good as the food. Can’t fault it — will definitely be back.”
Hours: Tu-Sa 17:00-21:30 | Phone: +61 3 8907 1333 | Website: Grande Kitchen & Bar | Google Maps
In summer, the courtyard is the whole point. In winter, the inside is better than you expect.

#3 Meat Flour Wine Berwick — 2 Verdun Drive
Italian | ★ 4.3/5 (228 reviews)
What makes it great: Ask anyone on Verdun Drive where to eat and Meat Flour Wine Berwick comes up before you finish the question. There is a reason half of Melbourne’s Italian restaurants reference their nonna. This one actually cooks like she is in the kitchen. There is a reason the regulars do not talk about it much. They do not want the wait.
A 4.3 rating from 228 reviews does not happen by accident in Berwick.
What locals say: “This place had a very fun vibe! Low lighting, modern decor, gorgeous retro tiles, very cool house beats playing which reminded me of going to dinner before hitting the clubs back i…”

#4 Streets of Punjab — 52-62 Old Princes Highway
Indian | Takeaway
What makes it great: The menu at Streets of Punjab is shorter than most. That is not a weakness. The tandoor here is not decorative. The naan arrives blistered and puffed, pulled seconds ago. That is the difference. Not the flashiest option in Berwick. Possibly the best.
Hours: Mo-Tu 12:00-22:00; Th-Su 12:00-22:00 | Phone: +61 3 8712 9139 | Website: Streets of Punjab

#5 Lanterns Viet Kitchen — 88-90 High Street
Vietnamese
What makes it great: Nobody goes to Lanterns Viet Kitchen for the decor. They go for prices that have not chased the suburb’s rising rents. The rice paper rolls snap when you bite them. The herbs are piled, not garnished. The chilli is there for those who ask. The test of a restaurant is whether you think about it the next day. Lanterns Viet Kitchen passes.
Hours: Mo off; Tu-Th 11:00-15:00, 17:00-21:00; Fr 11:00-15:00, 17:00-21:30; Sa 11:30-16:00, 17:00-21:30, Su 11:30-16:00, 17:00-21:00 | Phone: +61 3 9768 9941 | Website: Lanterns Viet Kitchen

#6 Dumpling Palace — 22-24 Old Princes Highway
Chinese
What makes it great: Dumpling Palace is not reinventing anything. It is just doing Chinese properly. Lunch service is the insider move. The specials board changes daily and the kitchen puts its best work there. There is a reason the regulars do not talk about it much. They do not want the wait.

#7 Taco Bill — 4 Old Princes Highway
Mexican
What makes it great: Taco Bill is the place Berwick locals take visitors when they want to show off the neighbourhood. The tortillas are the foundation. If they are made in-house from nixtamalized corn, you are in the right place. If not, you are eating a wrapper. There is a reason the regulars do not talk about it much. They do not want the wait.

#8 Tulip Thai — 10 Old Princes Highway
Thai
What makes it great: The kitchen at Tulip Thai runs on precision and repetition — the same dish, perfect, every time. They make the curry paste in-house. You can tell because the flavour has edges that pre-made paste rounds off. The kind of restaurant that makes you eat slower because you want it to last.

#9 Asian Feast — 55 Old Princes Highway, Beaconsfield
Asian
What makes it great: The first thing you notice at Asian Feast is the open kitchen and the confidence that comes with showing your work. This is the kind of place that a neighbourhood builds around. Not a destination — a reason to stay local. Not the flashiest option in Berwick. Possibly the best.
Phone: +61 3 9769 8618

#10 Jade Princess — 68-70 Old Princes Highway
Chinese | Takeaway
What makes it great: Every suburb has one restaurant that defines it. In Berwick, the argument starts with Jade Princess. Dumplings are the test. If the dumplings are good, everything else follows. These are good. Come once for curiosity. Come back because the food demands it.

#11 Chilli ’n’ Chive — 52-62 Old Princes Highway
Thai
What makes it great: Nobody goes to Chilli ’n’ Chive for the decor. They go for a menu that does not need explaining. They make the curry paste in-house. You can tell because the flavour has edges that pre-made paste rounds off. A restaurant that respects the ingredients, respects your time, and respects your wallet.

#12 Shanikas Berwick — 55 High St, Berwick VIC 3806, Australia
the food | ★ 4.8/5 (3,077 reviews) | $$
What makes it great: Classic Italian pasta dishes, plus steak & lamb, served in a polished restaurant. If this place were in Fitzroy, there would be a queue. In Berwick, you can still walk in.
3,077 people have reviewed Shanikas Berwick on Google. The average sits at 4.8. Earned, not gamed.
Mid-range pricing that reflects fair value for what comes out of the kitchen.

#13 81 Bistro & Taphouse — 81 High St, Berwick VIC 3806, Australia
the food | ★ 4.1/5 (708 reviews) | $$
What makes it great: Cool, vast locale with timber fixtures, for elevated bistro dining, plus a bar with live music. Add it to your rotation. You will not regret it.
708 Google reviews and a 4.1 average. The numbers track with the experience.

#14 Bubba Pizza Berwick — O’Shea Road, Berwick
the food
What makes it great: Bubba Pizza Berwick does not advertise. It does not need to. What works here works because the kitchen has stopped trying to be clever and started trying to be consistent. Worth crossing Berwick for. Worth crossing Melbourne for, honestly.

#16 Times Berwick — 13/84 Bemersyde Dr, Berwick VIC 3806, Australia
the food | ★ 4.8/5 (1,175 reviews) | $$
What makes it great: There is a reason Times Berwick has outlasted every trend on 13/84 Bemersyde Dr. The kitchen here has found its rhythm. The menu is focused, the execution is steady, and the regulars know what they are coming for. A restaurant that respects the ingredients, respects your time, and respects your wallet.

#17 A Cut Above Bar and Grill — 288 Clyde Rd, Berwick VIC 3806, Australia
the food | ★ 4.5/5 (1,215 reviews) | $$$
What makes it great: The word of mouth around A Cut Above Bar and Grill has done more than any review ever could. The kitchen here has found its rhythm. The menu is focused, the execution is steady, and the regulars know what they are coming for. Not the flashiest option in Berwick. Possibly the best.
The 4.5/5 Google rating (1,215 reviews) reflects what regulars already know.

#19 Bodega On High — 88/90 High St, Berwick VIC 3806, Australia
the food | ★ 4.3/5 (602 reviews) | $$
What makes it great: Bodega On High has been doing this since before Berwick got its reputation. The menu reads simply. The food arrives with more thought than the menu suggests. That gap is the mark of a kitchen that cares more about the plate than the description. Add it to your rotation. You will not regret it.
