Palace Hotel, Camberwell VIC

All stars are to Rahul. Makes my time at the palace great every time.

You know you have a good local when they remember your order.

Update to: Tried to visit for lunch supposedly their bistro "has been closed for months"
Why are you still advertising those services on Google?

The google maps listing STILL SHOWS.

Just enjoyed an excellent, & excellently priced, steak at the Palace Hotel in Burke Road, Camberwell (actually this side of the street it's Hawthorn East, but let's not a quibble). Apparently the Palace is partially closing soon for a major refurb, returning mid-2025 with what hopefully will be a five-star atmosphere. Best staff here, btw.

The 'Chicken Parma and Fries were subpar even for a pub meal. Hands down the worst pub feed in Melbourne.

The Parma was burnt from underneath (as seen in the picture) and was just bland!!! Couldn't taste any sort of herbs, spices and the Napoli sauce had no taste whatsoever.

The Fries were below average without any proper seasoning and was crispy only from outside. The inside was soggy and was not hot.

Not sure how can the Chef mess up the a Chicken Parma and specially the Fries???

Only decent thing was the 'Flash Fried Calamari'

Jess and Odette provide great service, and add to the bubbling atmosphere of the palace hotel. They bring a positive energy that is infectious, and back it up with quality food and a smile.
