Comments of Dandenong Pavilion
A. S.
Great food and amazing service!
We ordered the Parma and a burger and oh! the burger was so good, it just melted in the mouth.. so gooood! Parma and the drinks were great too. Would definitely come back.✨
M. B.
Fantastic meal in the middle of Dandenong. Burgers are amazing and my colleagues all enjoyed their meals. I had the atomic which was delicious. Outdoor patio beer garden a lovely atmosphere too
S. K.
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. 🤔
Staff are friendly as ever.
D. K.
Great Restaurant for family and friends. The vibe is energetic, youthful staffand quick services, loved the Lamb & Pumpkin Risotto, very delicious. Convenient parking, carwash at the back, Dandenong Market, Coles all across the road and Dandenong Hub, Plaza down the road 300m. Kitchen closes late which is a plus.
R. M.
Ordered the Nona Ange Linguine and Pumpkin Feta Risotto. Great food, quite generous portions. Maybe we could have shared the dishes. 😊Service was friendly.
Ample parking both within the facility and the service road as well.
V. B.
Great service, food and on time in 15 minutes from the time we sat down. Amazing because it was full and was sure it would take much longer for our food to come. Staff were very friendly also. Will go back again soon. Thankyou and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
B. C.
Hands down the best burgers in town. Perfect balance in the patty and quality supporting ingredients. Staff are friendly and attentive. This is the gold standard.
M. C.
For such a large and clearly busy venue, the service was absolutely perfect from start to finish. All the staff were super friendly, food came out very quickly and it all tasted amazing. I had the best Strawberry Daiquiri cocktail. We had entree, dinner and dessert all within 45minutes!
Definitely going back and also recommend to others.
L. R.
I went with my mum yesterday to have lunch for my birthday after hearing how great Dandenong Pavilion is, the reviews are nothing but correct this place is wonderful. Our food was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes are very generous (We ordered the Chicken Florentine and Calamari Main) and our dishes arrived to our table in no more then 20 minutes.
The atmosphere and staff we were great, we will definitely be coming back.
J. B. L.
This place is about the service. The decor and layout of the main bistro area is very comfortable and has a warm feel to it, but the star attraction and the super attentive genuine happy nice staff. The menu is a modern menu, Burgers, Calamari, salads etc and to a very high standard nothing to fault. But from the moment greet staff meet you at the door till you leave they are looking after you and it isn't a fake act, they are all happy and enjoy the atmosphere they create. A hidden gem.we never knew it was there. Owners have been running this place 15 years.
h.
Atmosphere was nice food was good could be better i had pumpkin risotto it was alright , waiters were very friendly
I. G.
Recommended. If you’re a large group with kids (like us) then this is the place to be. Big area outside, good food, good services and nice activities/meals for kids. Our host, Shadi is a super star! He took really good care of us. Definitely coming back.
D. H.
Firstly, great staff who know what they are doing. Also seemingly great staff retention. Came back for the Aussie beef burger I had six years ago, it was made by possibly the same staff member, and had the same amazing taste. Try the burger.
P. P.
Been here on 2 separate occasions. The food is delicious and portions are quite large. Definitely worth every penny spent here.
Staff are attentive and the wait is not long.
They do not allow split bills. So if you're planning to pay separately, come prepared.
j. h.
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
M. H.
Great customer service every time I go food is on point every time, portion sizes worth every penny.
Been a customer for over 6 years never dissatisfied.
Keep up great work definitely my fav restaurant.
J. W.
As a person who is not a big lamb eater (coming from the Philippines), I wanted to try their Lamb Shank main meal and Wow that was! Truly delicious and well worth the price. Highly recommended ❤️
A. A.
This place is great! Food is always delicious and I've never had anything I didn't like. They have a great kids menu as well and prices are very reasonable. Only down side is that it can get very busy so make sure to book ahead for dinner or you may not get a table.
S. M.
Food and service is always excellent and quite fast, very busy/popular, so can get pretty noisy. Get a booth if you can. Bar off to the side is good too, much quieter for a pre-dinner drink
G. B.
The burgers are absolute quality, so full of flavour. DP Pavilion not only do amazing burgs but they have quite the extensive menu as well so it’ll suit just about anyone. Every time I’ve visited here the service and food have been amazing. Definitely put this DP pavilion on your place to grab a delicious burger or meal from.
A. C.
Thanks, folks; it was great to be out after the lockdown and experience your fantastic customer service and food—great work in maintaining the covid safe place.
h. w.
Good food, service amazing, and prices where very affordable. All round Quality. Very safe environment for the family. Would highly recommend this place for a meal.
K.
Food was really good and very reasonably priced. Unfortunately when we visited there was a very strange and off putting smell (smelled like sewage). We're sure this would have been remedied by now and we wouldn't hesitate to go back, but unfortunately this wasn't great when we were eating at the time!
R. S. S.
Always a great place to take my family.
4 stars only because we did get forgotten once for orders as it was very busy due to its popularity. Amazing food & amazing staff
L. (.
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
A. T.
Incredible food!
Staff friendly and helpful. Very busy and loud but you'd expect that with the quality food they are producing
A. D.
Delicious food, great staff and great atmosphere, keep up the good work guys 👏 👍
E. D.
My favourite restaurant in Melbourne. Been going here for over 10 years & absolutely love the food, coffee & staff. Keep up the amazing work 🫶
B. S.
A beautiful setting lovely lighting, curtains and drapes offering both an indoor and outdoor experience. We had a larger group celebrating a milestone birthday inside the main restaurant. Our guests ordered from different categories of the menu including salads, burgers, pastas and mains. The portions were very generous and meals tasty and delicious which was evident by the empty plates.
I.
Great Service and the seafood was fantastic (Highly recommend the sizzling calamari/prawns). Porterhouse Steak was.. very very average and I would not have called it a porterhouse (shaved in half perhaps?) Great atmosphere. Prices very resonable.
J. S.
Had the Chicken Florentine. Was absolutely delicious. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Lovely location for a great meal. Will be back for more.
M. S.
Always love coming here , for 10 years now and we came for my mums birthday Saturday just gone and the food and service is always top notch ! We had 14 of us there and we had lots of food from the entree’s to mains , lasagne fingers and zucchini fries were delicious and the calamari and falafel was yum . My Riesling wine was just right and the waiters were lovely! Give this place a go if you haven’t already.
S. D.
Indeed a very nice dining outlet. The place is tucked away on the side of Princes freeway so it can be easily missed but it has a very big signboard that indicates you're at the right location! The lunch we ordered was superb - big portions served! The only little downside was that it was tat too pricey. The place decorated beautifully, wooden floors etc, had a feeling that you are somewhere at a winery and was very spacious - big enough to hold a small gathering, they had outdoor space too! I need to comment on their toilets - it is very beautiful and clean! It can be compared to toilets found in 5 star hotels! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with the food which was served with very friendly staff. An amazing place for celebrations, small gatherings or a simple dine out!
A. L.
Food is always amazing. They are excellent for a stop in and a meal and are even better if you have a special occasion. Beat choice in the south east for good food that never fails!
M. W.
Seemed expensive until the food arrived, then we realised there was way to much. Huge portions of tasty food. Highly recommend a look. Just needs a few more dietary options
C.
Family friendly restaurant doing reasonable food at ok prices. Has usual pub grub fare and a wide range of pizzas.
Note that they are pretty well known for their burgers. I tried one and though it wasn't as good as a speciality burger restaurant, it's still pretty good.
H.
Always love coming here and have been for the past 10+ years.
Great atmosphere, good service and excellent food!
L. S.
Amazing customer service & absolutely beautiful food!! The best restaurant in Melbourne!! Thanks guys!!
R. M. R.
The food was amazing, the staff were all very friendly and always asking if everything was ok.i would definitely recommend this place to my friends. Top stuff guys..👌👌👌
A. M.
We had a really lovely lunch here, the staff were really friendly and receptive and the food was great - between the group we ordered all kinds of things, which were all delicious, but definitely ask for the secret burger menu! The serving sizes are quite large, however, so that’s something to keep in mind.
T. M.
Haven’t been here in many years but returned to find that it still wasn’t bad. We had the burger and the beef rib with a entree of the jalepeno poppers. The poppers were great, as were the burgers. The rib was just okay, cooked well in parts but left you dry in the mouth in others.
I’d go back to try something else next time.
അ.
Went to try the burgers.
RKO and Atomic were delicious. Must try!
Beef Burger was OK. Small compared to the above two, not sure if its worthe the price.
Garfield was a let down. Too many elements that dont go together. Example lasagne fingers.
Desserts were also good.
Strawberry panacotta was the stand out winner. Creme Brulee was great but sticky date pudding was very ordinary.
Service was top class.
R. P.
Had an amazing experience at the Pavilion for our staff Christmas party. Everyone's food was great and the service was impeccable. The staff should be highly commended on how friendly and attentive they were
H. D.
Everything was excellent the food the atmosphere and the waiters always helpful with a nice smile all the time
😎👍.
R. L.
The choice of food were good and taste great. Best place to dine in with family and friends. The service is fast and the staff are very courteous.
K. R.
Best food, amazing coffee and amazing staff. I’ve been coming here for years and they never seem to disappoint
J. L.
Amazing meal! Great little booths for some privacy. Phillip cheese steak is was amazing & also the lamb risotto has a delicious kick to it!
t. l.
Been dining here for years, food is always good to great, never amazing but 100% consistently good, love this place. Definitely recommend
F. E.
Very nice atmosphere and the guy served us was very helpful and polite we had amazing dinner
D. S.
Good quality food.. burgers are a little expensive but other than that I enjoyed it and don't really have much to complain about. Would go back
R. D.
When you tell your waiter just a small burger then get brought out with this monster.. OH hell yaassss!!
The burger bun was nicely toasted and beef patties perfectly cooked medium so it was nice a moist. Chicken patties were nice, tender and perfectly fried resulting in an extra crispy coating of goodness. Bacon had a nice hit and wasn't too salty.
Only let down was the onion rings was soggy and the mac & cheese lacked flavour..
Other food items on the menu was good as I have been here a couple of times now
G. R.
Good Ambiance, good variety on menu and good service.
K. N.
Definitely make a reservation as they are always busy when I’ve visited. Service is friendly and attentive, and the food has been consistently good. The burgers are great, with lots of options on the secret burger menu.
B. D.
Check out this place and get a burger that’s not on the menu. It’s called the Tsar burger. It’s amazing. That’s all I can say. Get it!! Very very good. Worth a visit. I came with a group of people. And they were able to accommodate. This is a good thing. However I prefer the smaller mom and pop shops. But that doesn’t turn me too off from this place. We got burgers and they were on point. The people were nice. Giant Nutella container in the front. Very funny.
S. E.
Good quality food and desserts with decent portions. Very accommodating for children. Look out for they’re secret burger menu.
D. F.
Food and service is excellent went there with work for food and drinks and all of us could not fault the food.
M. D. K.
Love this place!
Celebrated my birthday here last night.
Due to Covid restrictions, seating was only for 20 in the restaurant. Felt like we had the whole restaurant to ourselves.
Food absolutely delicious and staff are super friendly and helpful. My son said he had the best burger ever in his whole life here.
Cocktails are amazing!
Would definitely recommend this place, for their food, cocktails and excellent service!
f. f.
Food was delicious and great portion sizing. Customer service was great also. Only let down was the wait for our meal (approx 50 mins).
Family friendly and appears to cater for large groups.
k. k.
was ok......only thing need to mention....ive ordered the "MIX GRILL" that has a minute steak,beef cheese cransky, chicken wigglets ,some chips and salad.
The cransky was cut in half as a portion.Ive mentioned it to waitress and at the cashier and they told me thats the way its been served..Well then they need to make a correction and have it on the menu as half cransky...by the end of the day it costs $35 this plate.
M. R.
Very friendly staff. Wide range of foods. Great ambience. Plenty of car parks.
S. T.
Bruschetta was in a massive puddle of vinegar and everyone's meals were overpowered with salt regardless of what we had... From wagyu beef steak to Calamari to the chicken breast to the parmigiana... On a positive note the staff were absolutely fantastic! 👌
E. M.
Really good pub style food. Good portions and decent prices. Their burgers are quite good.
G. G.
Great atmosphere and the food is fantastic and delicious, reminds me of a home cooked meal. Service and all is just amazing. Highly recommend here.
M. S.
Always excellent service. Burgers are amazing, portion sizes are huge, and very reasonably priced.
M. A.
Great food and service. Very friendly staff. Perfect for families with kids.
M. J.
Great place to catch up with friends on a weekend. Spacious dining area with a menu with a variety of choices. Friendly and attentive staff. Salads come in a decent serving size.
S. L.
It's been a number of years since I've been here but it did not dissapoint. The staff were attentive and the food was delicious (the steak was delicious! 🤤 with the mash potatoes). Can't wait to go back.
R. C.
Love the food miss coming in to eat. Do not order on uber or menu log calamari is $34 on the menu in the restaurant its $29 only thing is they can reduce prices some items are over the top.
D.
Great food however the restaurant desperately needs to change their chairs. They are old, solid wooden with no back support. I walked away with a sore lower back. I've never encountered this issue at a restaurant before.
P. K. N.
Ambience, Food and Service was good.
S. S.
Great food, professional staff good all restaurant to relax and have a great night
J. I.
Recently visited the Pavilion for dinner for my partner birthday.
On arrival greeted in a friendly manner,
sat at our reserved table and without delay the waitress come to introduced herself and took our order.
The wait wasn’t long for our dinner, it was exactly what was ordered, it looked and tasted perfect.
And finally, the cost of the meal with drinks was very affordable and reasonable.
Will be going back.
Z. R.
Delicious lamb off the shoulder. Meat cooked to perfection, just breaks apart. Go get yourself one.
D. C.
Can not rate this place high enough. Amazing food and customer service. Absolute class above!!
B.
Lovely experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. This was a farewell meal so my friend and I stayed for 3 hrs and noone said anything! Comprehensive menu that would benefit from some more vegetarian and vegan options for inclusively but what was available all looked delicious. Finished with an affogato!
A. K.
Staff were extremely friendly and up for a chat, and the food is always amazing - best sticky date i have ever had.
S. C.
Great service and amazing food. Highly recommend
W. t. s.
Best burgers in Australia! If not in the world!
I have continued to come here year after year and the service and the food is always perfect.
Lockdown or no lockdown , you have managed to keep your standards high, customers happy and most of all well done to you!
Thanks Team!
C. K.
Quality food and service from obliging and accommodating staff. Thanks for slipping us in without a reservation.
J. C.
Must ask for the secret burger menu! The Francis Underwood burger is great for lovers of all things Mac n cheese. Service was a little disappointing with plates taken away prematurely. But overall a pleasant experience.
J. W.
My wife and I ordered some take away from this resturant. The food was amazing and the customer service we got from SEONA was incredible. She was so welcoming kind friendly and pleasant to deal with. She has excellent customer service skills which deserve a shout out. Please pass on our thanks to Seona. It’s service like this that brings customers back. Well done.

H. F.
The food was lovely and the service was second to none - great job guys

Bit noisy but good, big meals. We had the carbonara (YUM), nonna Angelina linguini (fresh but garlicky and spicy), potato croquettes (homemade) and the chip! Service was quick and friendly.

It’s a nice dinner 🍽
S. N.
Seems like a lively place. Had the second best schnitzel I’ve eaten in recent times. And a huge step up in quality and presentation over other pubs. Packed on a Sunday night. So I guess others feel the same too. Friendly attentive staff. And priced well too. Thank you.
Y. S.
Food is beautiful.
T. B.
Tasty burgerssssss
Real tasty. A little bit pricey but the samurai burger dayummmm.
My girl's and my fave burger.
C. J.
Out of all the places I’ve ordered via UberEats this lockdown - Dandenong Pavillion has by far been the best! Both the risottos are amazing - highly recommend. My favourite restaurant since moving to this area.
J. R.
Went to dinner with my husband for New Year’s Eve . Was fantastic . Highly rate
C. S.
There was a group of 11 for our Christmas party, place was busy yet the service was great! Very attentive and friendly.
The food was delicious! Calamari melted in your mouth and the garlic prawns were fabulous. Everyone enjoyed their meal.
Look forward to going back
k. v.
Went with my girls for lunch. Staff was wonderful and the service was quick. The quantity of the food was fantastic. Not many places still offer that good quantity with quality so will be going again.
J. D.
Prompt efficient friendly staff. Fantastic service. Warm welcoming atmosphere. Very accommodating.

Had The Atomic with a chicken patty. Was awesome. Great service and also very friendly.
N. S.
Yum! Dinner here last night was awesome! Although I thoroughly enjoyed my barramundi, I had food envy of my work colleagues dinner! Great to see new team members being trained on the job, and doing a darned good job too! Great customer experience.
A. A.
Busy night at the good ol' Pav, didn't stop the steak from coming out perfect though, mmmm don't forget your sticky date pud!!!

First 5 star review!
Food 10/10
Service 9/10
Price 9/10
Atmosphere 9/10
Absolutely the best burger I've had in Melbourne and just a great place for dinner.
O. P.
Went here with a group & had a fantastic time. Meals were excellent! Only very minor thing was that the group had to work out split of bill - many places now allow you to order individually and pay straightaway, which overcomes this difficulty. But great place nonetheless!
L. T.
Food very good large serves. Staff attentive and polite. Downside I was with a group of elderly and the will not split the bill, they have added an ATM to help us 😗 will not be going again with group
B. S.
Top-shelf food, great atmosphere and super-friendly and helpful staff. Five stars all round. Already booked a table for next week. Can't wait to come back
S. M.
Whenever I am in Melbourne Always used to visit here for Business Lunches. I love the ambience and food. My fav one is Thai green curry which I can't get over.
I am looking forward to my next visit.
A. P.
I was very disapointed as was one of my friends as our prawn & pasta meal was very cool. They reheated it but I felt it was heated in the microwave in the first instance & perhaps a left over from the
Weekend . We were there on Monday December 20th. Perhaps its under new management but it lacked what we expected this time..It had never disappointed us prior to then. The half strawberry on my drink looked tired & not fresh. As strawberries are cheap & plentiful at the moment it was not a good look. Not good enough Pavillion. Waitress are excellent & work very hard. We declined desert & coffee.
D. G.
Reasonable choices on the menu, prices towards the higher end, attentive staff, plenty of parking on site
R.
Staff were friendly, restaurant is nice and has a warm feel to it. Food was a bit pricey for what we got. A kids meal is $16 which I thought was pretty high.
Would probably come again though.
M. A.
Food is great and service is excellent, will definetly comeback.
V. P.
Nice place.Good service and yess very affordable.we had a lovely time having dinner there.

K. F.
Was there for a work function and absolutely everyone involved was professional and timely and the food was absolutely amazing! Asked for a medium-rare steak and received a medium-rare steak. Entrees and cocktails were delicious also! Brilliant, thankyou!
M. Y.
Food was delicious 👌 would definitely come again.
B. L.
good burgers and love their garlic prawns on rice. Friendly staffs :)
K. F. D.
I have been to Dandenong Pavilion a number of times, as their burger menu is a huge draw card. They consistently produce delicious burgers. It had been a number of years since I visited, so I was well overdue and a trip with the kids was in order. We visited for an early dinner at 4.30pm.
We arrived and were promptly welcomed and seated. We asked if we could be seated at the tables overlooking the kitchen and this was no issue at all. I would absolutely have to commend that our main attendant was exceptionally friendly and went over and beyond, especially with the kids. She gave the kids empty coffee cups for their water and they loved it! We also didn’t have to ask for the kid’s menu or colouring pencils.
We ordered Calamari and Chips for the kids to share (which was a huge portion), the Sizzling Seafood Plate (with prawns and calamari), their January burger special and a side of macaroni cheese. While we waited for our food, my son enjoyed a game of looking into the kitchen without being spotted by the kitchen crew! It’s always positive for kids to see their food being prepped and cooked.
Food arrived quickly and it was well presented and delicious! However, the smokey flavour of my burger wasn’t to my liking. I definitely feel that had I added cheese or extra sauce, it would have been perfect. Let me assure you, that their burgers live up to their hype.
D. S.
Great place for lunch. Great service and good food.
A. B.
Good food great atmosphere
D. V.

P.
Great service and atmosphere. In and out in just on an hour. Staff were very attentive, and food was great. Will be back!
N. V.
it is a lovely place inside but it can get quite busy and loud at times. the mcdowell burger is delicious and a tribute to the big mac. quite pricey though. still worth a try. friendly staff.
R. R.
So so good! Service and food 1st class!
A. G.
I really love this place. Had perfect atmosphere and staff was really great and the food was excellent and affordable. I would recommend anyone thinking of dinning to try this place out.
D. N.
The secret burger menu that everyone knows about! perfectly crafted burgers, each time, full of flavour with wonderfully matched fillings.
S.

f. h.
Great customer service and awesome meals
M. L.
Love this place and will definitely keep returning
J. K.
Great venue, wonderful food.
B. A.
Celebrated my Mum’s 50th birthday here this year and we had the most amazing time.
First of all the food was incredible! We had a table of around 16 people and ordered a wide range of meals. Everything arrived relatively quickly and all at the same time. Nothing could be faulted and everyone loved their meal. Especially the Turkish loaf, we would all go back just for that!
The staff were so kind and offered to take photos for us. The prices are also incredible and we were expecting the bill to be much higher than it was. Overall, we had an amazing time and couldn’t recommend The Pavilion enough!
J. S.
Best customer service I’ve experienced yet! Staff tend to you in a timely matter, they remember who ordered what and place your food right in front of you without having to ask. There is always staff around and will make sure to come back to you promptly when you’ve waved them down. Food is always fresh and warm - and always deliver on good food with good service consistently so far 👌🏽
T. a. S. C.
Wonderful service thanks to the attentive staff during lunch yesterday. We were greeted with smiles and everyone was welcoming and took genuine care to ensure our experience was great.
Food was delicious and great flavours in all the dishes. Sweet potato fries are not to be missed!
M. I.
Great food. Great customer service. I will highly recommend to try. But make sure make a booking before you go.
M. S.

A. I.

V. P.
Chicken Florentine was delicious, Friendly staff too
T. K.
Good foods, the sides dishes are very yummy. As it was during the christmas season, it was very hard to make an extra booking in addition to your original booking. The main dishes were also very scrumptious. The staff were also very friendly. The waiters were also surprisingly quick! ;D
D. M.
Great place. Delicious food . decent prices . recommend lamb strap salad delicious ..
I. W.
Really nice setting, good atmosphere and great customer service. The wait staff were very friendly and accommodating. I was really happy with the potato croquettes, underwhelmed by the prawn papadelle (happy with the number of prawns 🍤 but the overall dish wasn’t very special- tasted too much of tomato paste). The meal did end on a good note with the chocolate pudding 🙂
S. M.
Love it. Good range of food choices. Delicious calamari. Price has gone up a bit, but understandable and still good value. Ambiance is normally very noisy but last night due to covid, was eerily quite! Definately worth the drive to dandenong!
C. B.
Where do I start! ...food is always delicious and portion sizes are very generous. Cocktails are lovely. Atmosphere is nice but usually very busy so can be noisy. Staff are very welcoming and friendly and make a point of looking after regular customers to the extent your service feels very personalised. Of course they are very welcoming and helpful to all customers as well. Definitely recommend.

Lovely food and good service
C. M.
My hubby loves this place. Especially the dessert. Return of the mac
D. B.
Food was pretty good with some great selections, but staff did take ages to take order and it was difficult to get their attention. Setup was a little squishy which was a concern given the recent covid outbreaks.
H. Z.
Excellent burgers and extensive high quality menu. Great customer service. Highly recommend.
J. C.
Great food as always. Not cheap but fun now and again. My wife will only eat the lamb risotto from here, refuses to go anywhere else.
L. E.
Always a good meal and massive serves.
F. K.
I had heard a great deal about Pavilion. We ordered the Beef Burger (which wasn't the best I've had and I was underwhelmed). We also ordered the Jalapeno Poppers which weren't spicy at all. The steak however was decent. May go again some day to try something else on the menu!
m. r.
The food is really good and the staff were very friendly and the service was surprisingly fast.
A. S.
Absolutely fabulous environment suitable for the whole family. It was lively, energetic, and might I add full for Sunday lunch. That kitchen was buzzing and there were definitely no chefs with egos, no screaming to be heard, just first class tasty food being served and hardly any wait time. The portions were certainly more than generous even for a big eater like me and service came with a smile. I’ll definately go back there.
K. F.
One of the best places to take your family to eat. We are so lucky to have the pav in our area, food is delicious and service is at its highest love everything on the menu no faults at all 10/10!!!
J. M.
Always a fantastic meal, service and atmosphere here. Been here at leastb6 times in the past 12 months and the service is always pot in Casuoa but not too casual and the food is delivered in good time and great tasting.
Tonights wait staff, Shona was fantastic in service and getting us another round of drinks at just the right time without being too much or not enough.
A little quiet tonight due to the current world situation but still all staff were fantastic!
Give these guys a go. Worth it!
E. L.
Fantastic service from wait staff, always offering drinks and coming back promptly to check on the table. Food is sent out very quickly, especially on a week night. Wait staff always come to check how meals are and are so helpful and nice. Be sure to check out the secret burger menu it’s fantastic.
r. b.
Great food and great service... Atomic pizza is awesome and so calamari in the mains... Though they need to get new EFT post machines...
H. M.
Absolutely amazing food and service. Everyone was very happy with their meals! Thank you !
M. V.
Always a good experience, the food is absolutely amazing and delicious!! Lasagne Fingers are my fav and I hope they stay on the menu! I've always been impressed with the service even when the place has been very busy, the food comes out reasonable quick and the wait staff are fast and friendly.
C. W.
My go to place when catching up with my son's grandmother. Being the "silly season" I had a little bit of concern with regard to the ability to book a table. Thankfully we had no issue, booking online, and receiving good service from the staff. The time we chose to book was 12.00 pm, and when we got to the restaurant, it was still quiet. Staff were attentive and there was a good selection of meals to choose from. I ordered a variation to my meal, which was met and the meal was hot, delicious, tasty and filling, with both myself and grandma, taking a "Doggy bag" home for dinner. I have been visiting this restaurant for a number of years and am still happy to return for a meal.
S. B.
Can’t go wrong! I have been a customer for years and the service and food quality has consistently been fantastic!
B. L.
A gem of a place. Such a broad range of cuisines and all are executed wonderfully. The food is always excellent, the service unfailing helpful and the prices are quite reasonable. The serves are generous and they're very kid friendly. The setup is such that you dont encounter the weird feeling of dining in a room full of people. There's enough space that you feel a sense of personal space and comfort. Definitely one of the best dining locations in the south east. Try the nutella magnum if you're in for a cheat meal!
M. W.
Lovely decor, atmosphere and food is fantastic. The staff were genuinely nice, and the menu options cover a range of budgets without skipping on the quality on the lower end. Thanks for a wonderful lunch.
D. C.
The food is great quality, although that portions are honestly much too big in my opinion, and you certainly pay for both the quality and sizing.
They have a good bar too, and various different areas, eg. dining, outdoor smoking area, lounge area near the bar.
Can certainly get busy, so you might need to book a table.
P. K.
4 of us from Perth stumbled across this place. It was packed on a Monday night, wow. I had the most flavorsome, moist beef ribs ever. Chicken, calamari and steak were all great as well. For a busy night they were awesome. Well done
M. F.
Incredible!!! Burger was to die for, very tasty salad, great selection of beers and cocktails at reasonable prices. 12/10
M. B.
Beautiful food. Friendly service. Quick wait for meals good pricing.
M. O.
Had a really great burger. Actually, I think the photos still here.
C. B.
Just a quick stop for takeaway. Chicken wrap and Philly Cheesesteak Roll were excellent and waiting time was only a few minutes.
A. S.
Great service, good value and awesome food!
Best burgers in town!
J. H.
Great casual restaurant. High volume seating, they offer catering for groups up to 50 people. Outdoor seating area on the terrace. Good sized portions, prices are bit more than you would expect for Dandenong, but they make it up with quality. Ask about the secret burger menu. Best burgers in the south east.
R.
Love this place!
Must order the McDowell burger from the secret burger menu! Hands down the best burger in town! Service is always friendly and fast. Staff always come back and checkup on your meal.
Thankyou team Pavillion for your consistent service each and every time!
S. L.
Easily accessible as it is on princess highway service road. Dine in or take away available. Their packaging was awesome makes you not want to open your package.
A relaxed ambience, definately you can come with family. Booths made the place look amazing however if you prefer the tradiotional table we are used to, you will find them.
Bought a burger which at first i felt it was expensive for it until oh received my order. It came with a good amount of fries and a generous amount of tomato sauce.
D. P.
If you've never been here before it's a must. They cater for everyone and my glory be they even have a smoking section. Best burgers in town but other food a must try. I visit at least 2 times a month and love the food wine and great customer service
R. V.
Great service company with excellent food that actually tastes good. Love dining here on occasions. I find it hard to make a reservation as they never answer their phone so would need to call Multiple times. Would not recommend to sit outside if you don’t smoke, but inside is nice and cosy.
J. D.
Best burgers going around. Make sure you ask for the secret burger menu.
S. R.
Have been a repeat customer for years now. Customer service is always excellent, the staff are friendly and attentive. Food is great and served in a timely manner. Outside is great if you're wanting a chill vibe, heaters are on too during the cold nights!
S. B.
Food delicious. Large servings. Plenty of choices for gp of ten. Wait staff served and cleared from across the table instead of from left of customer - found that annoying. Good atmosphere - busyness good sign of popularity.
T. L.
I love this restaurant! Food is always fresh and satisfying. Prices are so reasonable for the portions, the burgers are off the rails, the service is always exemplary. One of my favourite places to eat!
R. A.
Burgers were really good. Nuttela magnum is delicious
S. K.
By far one of the best establishments in the south east! Great service and the food is fantastic every single time !
Well done 👍
Recommended to everyone.
V. B.
Have been meaning to try here for quite a while now after being recommended by a few people.. Finally got the chance tonight and it certainly didn't disappoint!! Everyone at the table was super happy with their food and the service was great..
Will definitely be back.. 👌
G. S.
Best burger i have ever tasted. They have a 'secret' burger menu that is a must to ask for!!

Visited the Pavilion today after many years since I last visited. I always loved the food and the place was always busy. Today when I arrived it was still thriving! Ambiance of the venue is very noisy, as you would expect for a busy Sunday but it was hard to talk to the people next to me as it felt like everyone was shouting. I ordered a steak sandwich which I was looking forward too! But the waitress advised me that they are not doing steal sandwich today. Wish they told us that when they handed us the lunch menu. So i had to choose on the spot. I went with one of their burgers and O M G it was amazing! The food is so nice at the Pavilion I think they must always hire the best chefs coz every time I have been I have always been happy! This was exactly how I remember the burgers from a long whole ago. Each flavour was on point. From the bacon to the carmelized onion to the sauce on the bun. It was perfect! Although the service was slow and we had to approach a waitress to take our order the food made up for it. I also love how u can see the chefs cooking it's nice to see the behind the scenes
j.
Decent food friendly staff, portions on the medium size depending on what you ordered. Will come back again
R. R.
This restaurant was introduced to me by my wife. Been there couple of times. Food is awesomely tasty and irresistible! Service is extraordinary. A cosy, warm ambience. Quality of food is highly addictive! Keep it up guys!
R. M.
Really busy place and very popular with the locals. Not sure about all the fuss about there burgers - overpriced and overstuffed. The chicken parmigiana however was awesome. Nice selection of beers at pretty good prices. Worth a visit if in Dandenong but you wouldn’t travel for it.
R. Y. J. Y.
Always generous portion and lovely staff. Love to habe the function there and always enjoy the food as well. u can enjoy very professional dining experience. Can be a cafe or pub but also family gathering. it is the perfect place for everyone.
R. C.
Absolutely fantastic!!
Even though it was Valentines Day, food was excellent and came out quick.
And their Creme Brulee is a must.
We come once a month, but its not enough.
See tou next week Dandenong Pavilion!! :-)
O. H.
Food is fairly good ..service is punctual and the staff is efficient and attentive..atmosphere is quite busy but overall was good..
A. S.
Good food with excellent customer service
C. O.
Great food slow service
A. V.
Delicious hamburgers and cocktails. Service is outstanding. Too busy and noisy and deco is dated. But it is all forgotten when you eat the moist, juicy burgers. Yummy.
I. H.
Good place to chill and get a delicious meal. Avoid at busy times for optimal experience.
H. R.
Service not terrible, but that's the best thing I can say about it.
The food was also not terrible, just sightly above palatable. The cocktails were not great at all, and the cake I ate looked far better in the display cabinet than it tasted.
o.
Delicious, was served in timely manner even though it was a busy night when I went. Didn't have reservation but was able to get a table (was just the two of us) and were attended to almost immediately.
Food selection is generous and the portions are on the big side so well worth the prices.
Would go again and again.
J. R.
I can't express enough how much this place has exceeded my expectations. When my sister booked dinner at the restaurant I was prepared for pub quality food, average quality, decent prices but boy was I surprised. The cosy and expertly decorated rooms aren't at all pretentious but still exceeded my expectations of the restaurant having a chill pub vibe while still beig able to pass as a fancier restaurant. The seating provided at one of the longer tables in the side room we had booked were probably the most comfortable chairs I have ever sat in as far as restaurants go and they wrte not at all cramoed with plenty of arm space between us. The stafg were very accomodating and checked back regularly whether we were ready to order drinks and food and took orders down efficiently while socialising with us and laughing at our stupid jokes and remarks. The food all came out very quickly with the kids meal we ordered coming out well before the rest of ours which was just perfectly timed to keep a 3 year old boy preoccupied when ours came out. The 450g Rib Eye steak I had was the best steak I have ever had sub-$100 and it couldn't have been cooked more perfectly when I asked for Medium-rare. The char-grill on the crust was the perfect depth and it gave a great smokey taste to compliment the fat that marbled throughout the great cut of meat I received. A lot of the steak just broke apart in my mouth with little to no chewing involved; making the knife work even less tedious. They also stored and brought out our BYO birthday cake and came out with sparklers lit and even stayed and sang Happy Birthday with us. How many restaurant staff would do that voluntarily?
They get full marks from me and I will definitely be back very soon. Looking forward to my next Tinder date as they are in for a hell of a treat 😉(The steak; I mean the steak of course, keep your mind out of the gutter)
R. J.
Food was great. Plenty of parking. Does get crowded. So if you are going with a crowd, better book a table before you go. Also can be quite noisy due to the crowd. So wouldn't recommend for a business meeting.
H. S.
What a welcoming place for any event. The meals were so beautiful. The service was marvelous. Will go back again.
B. S.
Hidden Gem! Where just looking for some good food and wow, really loved it from the first to the last second. Staff super switched on and made our visit even better. Whoever is running the kitchen.... Well done! Very generous portions, actually hard to finish and tasted amazing. Will come back!
F. R.
The Pav is a fantastic place for a great feed in the south-east.
The restaurant has a huge menu with something to satisfy whatever it is you're keen for...oh, and don't forget to ask for the 'secret' burger menu, they are some of the best burgers you can find around.
On Wednesday to Sunday from 9:30pm until late they open up the Burger Stop window in a little eatery out the back.
You can grab yourself one of the many amazing burgers they have available, the poutine fries are absolutely to die for!
If you feel like dessert they have amazing churros!
Enjoy it!
M.
Absolutely beautiful food and nice layout. First time visiting, will be back
V. V.
Loved the food and service. Absolutely went crazy for the desert.

Hands down - best burgers in Melbourne. Been there a few times (ask for the burger menu) , always consistent. Friendly staff and good ambiance. Changed my life.

Kevin our waiter was superb ..great service quick and friendly and very qood value for money...have been here 4 times in 6 months.
D. D.
From entrée to dessert they have you covered. Everything is top notch. My favourite are the burgers. They also have a great bar. Ensure you book as they are always packed! The service is always phenomenal as well!
D. K.
One of our local go to's! Never a let down... food quality is unbeatable! The team down @ The Pav are always welcoming and friendly! Highly recommended (PS - Thai Green Curry with chicken and chilly..... a must! ! :P)
A. C.
The atmosphere is alright, but the food was the problem our lemon lime bitters had soda water rather than lemonade, the chips were soggy and the burger beef was undercooked. The waiters and waitresses are nice and the sanitary was decent
J. R.
Great place! Staff were fabulous... very refreshing to see smiling, helpful staff who seemed to actually enjoy working there. Food was good, atmosphere relaxed and had a great vibe. Just a great place to meet with friends and connect.
M. K.
Very happy with the service and the staff, welcoming and the atmosphere is nice. However our food was pretty average, and was quite salty. Portions are huge but it works out well for the price.
J. S.
Chicken Parma and Garlic pizza were amazing.
Really weird that its hard to find a good Parma these days.
H. S.
If you haven't been to the Pavilion yet, then your missing out! Make sure to book a table as it is always busy and ask for the "Secret Burger Menu". Get anyone of them and enjoy! Best burgers around, great staff in a wonderful venue. Have been recommending to everyone I know. Be sure to visit the next time you plan to go out for burgers! Also everything on the menu is amazing! Get the waffles if your getting dessert and ask for it with the nutella chocolate sauce!
s. x.
Delicious dinner tonight! I had dinner with my colleagues at The Dandenong Pavilion today. Menu was perfect, spoilt for choice from the variety of options , I ordered penne pasta and my colleagues ordered from the different options available from the menu to suit everyones palate..The food was simply fabulous!👍The pasta was cooked to perfection, fresh and hot when served is the best pasta I ever had 😀the portions were extremely generous!! Our waiter was very friendly and efficient he attended to all of our needs as we were a group of 15 of us . We ordered “ The return of the Mack “ for desserts which was served on a large bowl and it was just simply DIVINE 😀Everyone had an awesome time ! Clean, modern and cosy environment ! Delightful staff ! Great value for the price. Would definitely go there again👍
M. P.
Seated quickly on a Wednesday evening. Wide range of choices in the menu (including specials) to cater to many different tastes. Portions are on the larger side as reflected in their price. Staff are attentive and quick to service your table. The Pollo Penne was amazing!
T. B.
Always a great place to go if you're in the area. Family friendly and plenty of selection for even the fussy eaters. My partner had the eye filet which was reasonable priced and generously served but the main event is definitely their burger selection
D. F.
Amazing as usual! Yet this time we had Chantelle as our server, brilliant service - Joel this one is a keeper! Not that we have had anything but great service here, she sparkles. Your extremely talented kitchen never disappoints, hats off to all!!

Our first restaurant meal in a while. The staff was super friendly the meals were great and had their covid plan down pat.
Thanks Pavilion.

Great food, great service, would definitely go back again.

Great food wonderful staff

Pavillion used to be one of those speciality resturants out in the surburbs with options you would typically find closer to the city which was bonus. Standards seemingly have dropped over the years i have been. The menu is vast so you will be sure to pick one or two things that you like. They also have a "secret burger" menu not so secret but they are half decent. Nothing to rave about but good for the location and price. Serving portions are still generous so theres that.
A. B.
Great spot for burgers in Dandenong, very popular with locals. We visited for a late lunch on a Sunday and it was packed.
I had the chicken sandwich from the lunch menu, and my husband had a burger from the special menu, called Sir Eatsalot (apt, occasionally!). We also ordered a side of Mac and cheese, which was tasty, but definitely not required. Everything was really over the top, and really delicious!
j. r.
Food & service always amazing. Never had a bad meal here. Love it
G. P.
Normally really happy with this place. Food is generally good, one occasion recently, got a bit of a dud (too much honey mustard sauce on a salad) and waaaaaay too much salt. Like I said - normally really good
E.
Entrees tasty - arancini and chicken ribs
Mains - Nonna Angelina linguine was really fresh, open lamb souvlaki was good, philly cheese steak roll was pretty sloppy and gross.
Entrees came out quickly but had to wait over an hour after that for mains, and we arrived at 6pm on a Thursday and there was hardly anyone there at the time. It was full later but our meal should have been first in the queue since we ordered before anyone arrived.
It lost a star because the chairs were so uncomfortable. I never notice seating but these were flat wooden chairs which would be hard enough on your bum as is but they had a large lip around the edges which dug right into the back of your thighs. Before even ordering food we were so uncomfortable we wanted to leave. We would have stayed for dessert and coffee if not for that. I bet they lose a lot of revenue for that reason.
Get more comfortable chairs!

Great casual restaurant. High volume seating, they offer catering for groups up to 50 people. Outdoor seating area on the terrace.

Good place to come with a group or family, kids meals used to be really good value but I think they put the price up. Burger menu is great and the normal mains are very generous. Not dirt cheap but worth it.

C. D.
Attended based on a recommendation from a friend (and won't be back). Nothing was too terrible, however nothing was great either, and the menu prices were excessive for the food options ($30 for lamb shoulder on mashed potato). Preference would be to try something else next time; it looks like there are plenty of other options in the area.
S. F.
Absolutely amazing! Hands down the best burger in Melbourne! The Beef Burger was rich with flavour, the meat was perfectly cooked, the vegetables were of the highest quality and the special sauce was superb!
(Nutella doughnut was absolutely fantastic too!)
I highly recommend!
M. J.
Nice environment, good quality of food, heaps parking space, kind and helpful staff.
Highly recommended.
S.
Always go to this place. Large menu with great dietary options. Price is reasonable. Ask for the secret burger menu. Can't go wrong. Reservations are essential, especially with a bigger group.
G. D.
Good food but a bit pricey. Very friendly and professional staff. Very very noisy here no doubt because of its popularity. So if you want an intimate or romantic meal with your partner this is not the place for you...
J. P.
Great food.. very large restaurant and the staff are super friendly.. got to love the not so secret secret burger menu.. and the food was really good.. worth a go
C.
There's a bar of quality set for customer service and The Pavillion has set it, easily the best restaurant I have ever visited. The staff are 2nd to none and the food is of top quality, even when the place packed with customers it still makes it way to you quickly. They are exemplary in this industry.
E. M.
Food was good but not good value. Over priced. Service was passable yet not great. It also amazes me in a first world country why a business like this has trouble splitting the bill. This is called service. Also asked to order coffees and desert after a $200 meal and was told to wait by the waitress. Fifteen minutes later still no one to take my order.
K.
Yummy General Burger off the secret menu ssssh don't tell anyone
P. T.
Meals were very nice. Service was good. Pricing ok generally
W. B.
Three of us went there today for lunch sat @ tble 4 on request. One had lamb fetta salad, other had fish and chips, with side of prawns. I had Rib Eye 250g with side of prawns. The venue was @ 80% capacity, having opened only 40 minutes earlier.
Food took just over 20 mins to the table from ordering- surprisingly fast - and it wan't good- it was outstanding. We are very particular with food- especially me- and it left us all raving in the car on the way home.
All the diners looked happy, throughout the venue.
Points to note:
Tables were big- no struggling for space to place drinks, water coffee etc.
Service was exceptional
Staff were great- there without being in your face
Food- the reason you go to a restaurant... portions were big- not some 2cm square artistic vegetable that left you hungry after eating.
3 very happy customers, thankyou Joel and Staff.
J. D.
Lovely meals and service
Π. Κ.
Quick service nice food.
J. G.
good food. but FOH staff are a bit rude. pity. cause they ruin it for the rest who are professional. Maybe havr some good staff training. Bartender was professional. kitchen staff were rude when asking for a bit of help. But ultimately, food was good. music was good. was really cluttered. didnt enjoy being to close to another table where they could here my conversation with my boyfriend.
Toilets were a mess. understood that it was busy buy toilets were horrible. didnt end up going to the loo cause it was gross.
D. R.
Delicious. Best carbonara in the area and the peanut butter milkshake is to die for.
A. K.
Good food and great service. Prices are also responsible. Recommended.

Cannot give this restaurant a high enough praise. Service was awesome, food quality and quantity even better. I definitely cannot wait to go back and looking forward to bringing my family too. Great work Dandenong Pavilion!
T. L.
Espresso Martini was bomb! Would keep drinking if I wasn't in public (motion sickness) huge portions of food with very reasonable prices. Bring back the wagyu beef!!
J. M.
Thai beef salad, risotto, fish n chips were what we had and all I would recommend again. Prices for all dishes hovered around the $20 mark, give or take a couple of dollars, but the flavours were excellent. Will return.
1. F.
Exceptional venue. Top notch food and the staff and service are second to none. You'll never wait too long, or wait at all, and the Burgers are seriously outstanding. Cannot recommend highly enough. 10/10.
S. S.
Repeat customer over 10 years, the service, even though they are always full, is never tardy. Staff are always cheerful, helpful and I've never been left wondering when is someone coming to take our order or when it's my meal coming. I miss the log fire which has been replaced by battery candles. Its not rocket science to bring the log fire back. Ppl travel to sit by one of those on a winters day. Food is consistently yummy. I recomend to always book ahead first.
Y. L.
Food here is always spot on and service is flawless. Great place to have a quick bite or a family gathering dinner.
Prices are a bit excessive for the area. Could definitely do with a price drop on the menu.
C. N.
Jack Daniels beef ribs are the best.
Really tasty and big serving with plenty sauce, which is awesome.
I’d definitely recommend this place and have.
T. B.
Fantastic friendly service by all the staff the char grilled Fillet Beef steak is 100% top quality tender cook to perfection veg crispy and perfect and great fresh ground coffee, just had the best ribeye in Aust fantastic 1000% the best tender juice fresh crispy salad and crispy chips great friendly staff
We be back
Cheers
B. P.
Amazing food and great service, the burgers are sensational!!! I would personally drive from the city just for the burgers on the secret menu ahhh shhh they're secret... has more class than what you would think regardless of what suburb it's in!! Did I mention the burgers... hahaha staff are friendly and can have a laugh and the place is always clean!
Y. M.
Beautiful service, the food very nice... in my opinion to big the portion... but if you ask to my boyfriend was perfect
B. P.
Warm, open and welcoming Family Friendly Restaurant offering 'Something For Everyone' with their great international and affordable Menu. Deserts are is nothing short of delicious as is their Italian Specialty Coffee. Central ideal fireplace for the colder months and a segregated Function Room section off to the side next to their comfortable Booths is very well positioned.
P. F.
The Pavilion has become a victim of its own success. We've visited here a number of times and the last two have been disappointing. The staff are well trained and the decor is modern. But the "Pav" tries to be everything to everyone. The menu lacks any theme, novelty or seasonality, and if it wasn't for the elevated prices it could have come straight out of any large pub in Melbourne. It feels like the entire operation is optimised to produce a lot of food fast and cheap, with most plates over-represented with cheap starch such as chips, rice, or mash. On Saturday night the dining room is loud and not relaxing. The Pavilion lacks soul and doesn't stand for anything anymore. But if the punters keep coming back then good on the Pav for finding the formula to success.
H.
The burger menu is maybe the most special about Dandenong Pavilion. The burgers are maybe the best i've tried in a very long time and maybe even the best in all of Melbourne. The are big, juicey and tasty! I would recommend this place to anyone!

We went to the Pavillion for breakfast this morning as I had heard good things about the place.
There were no other people in the place early on a Saturday morning and the restaurant was quite cold.
I was very disappointed when I ordered Gluten Free bread with my meal as I have a wheat allergy, and GF bread was on the menu. The waitress returned to tell me that the only GF bread was a fruit loaf and they dont usually have it. I had the fruit loaf which was a bit of an odd thing combined with avocado and feta but tolerable as there was no other alternative for me.
It is disappointing to find that items on the menu are not available, especially something a simple as GF Bread.
The person we spoke to said that they would have to alter the menu but I suggested that it might be simpler to supply what was on the menu, even if it meant putting the GF bread in the freezer.
On the whole I was very disappointed.

We had our girls catch up dinner at the Pavillion Friday night and were very happy with the food and service but was really dissappointed with the cold breeze and smell of smoke from the outside smoking area. We were sitting inside and just found the doors constantly opening, we had to leave our coats on to stay warm and we all left smelling of smoke and our eyes stinging. The smoking area is way too close to the eating area and we shouldn't have to be freezing because of the door constantly opening and closing and that smell drifting in. Can't fault the food or service and would definately go back but request to sit in a different area. Also would suggest it would be perfect if you could split the bill as alot of us don't carry cash these days so its not uncommon for a group to have mainly cards.

Food is amazing, great friendly service. It pays to make a booking for a group..heaps of parking. Will definitely be a return customer.

Friendly staff, good burgers and shakes. (ask for the burger menu)
However, the servers were a bit eager to take our plates even though we were not fully finished eating.

The Dandenong Pavilion is a home away from home.... I have been fortunate enough to be part of an ever changing landmark, which has super exceeded any expectations. Danni and Dina have outdone themselves! This well designed restaurant breathes an air of modern elegance with its attention to small detail, like its stunning chandeliers, its old school retro book shelf wallpaper and soft partitioning nooks and crannies, makes it suitable for any occasion. With a warm and welcoming smile upon every arrival, you are sure to get the "Dandy Pav" treatment! To top off the class in appearance and service, the menu speaks volumes. From an extraordinary selection of modern and old cuisines, you are guaranteed to find a mouth watering dish to tantalize the senses. A family friendly environment, even the kiddies will be blown away with the superb quality in desserts. Furthermore, your parking woes are a thing of the past at the Dandenong Pavilion, as well as outdoor alfresco seating for a breath of fresh air..... The City of Greater Dandenong has won the jackpot with Dandenong Pavilion!

Food is always great. But seriously what restaurant does not split bills these days. It is so inconvenient, takes forever to pay and unfortunately due to this the last twice we have been for work functions we will not come again.

While my meal the chicken Parma was delicious , my partner couldn't say the same thing about her meal which was the Thai green curry , should be called " broccoli with a side of bland curry".

Very friendly staff, reasonably priced, fast service, food is good and a loss of one star for our seating was very dark so more light would of been better.

Pavillion is a hype for Dandenong. The menu is standard, food is generally ok however there are very limited vegetarian options. Compared to other retraunts in Dandenong the prices are also higher.
If you want to spend money and eat in a western style space with western food then Pavillion is the place.
Being in Dandenong however you have the widest selection of multicultural food in Melbourne and not partaking in what else is available is a missed opportunity.
