If you’ve never taken the family to The Melbourne Greyhounds at The Meadows and dined in the City View Bistro, it could be time for a treat.
Aptly named after its Melbourne city skyline views, this bistro is a hidden gem (thanks to it being a little hard to find) and recently shifted its offer up a gear when it comes to catering for local families and friends.
Located on the mature tree-lined Northcorp Boulevard, in the heart of the Northcorp Industry Park Broadmeadows, access is off Camp Road, close to the Sydney Road end.
For those who have already dined in this elevated bistro dining room with racetrack views, you’ll be pleased to learn an all-new menu was launched in April, crafted and curated by new head chef Steve Collins.
He and the racing association’s new hospitality manager Harry Thackray and CEO have all worked diligently over the last few months to take the City View’s dining concept to a whole new level.
Google reviews are already singing the praises of the transformation that’s taken place and the new menu on offer.
The desserts have come under particular praise from diners, as have the reimaginings of some fabled bistro classics.
In the case that a great dining experience doesn’t sound enough for you to get off the couch, don’t forget Saturday nights also revolve around all the excitement of world-class metropolitan greyhound racing action.
A 12-race card provides a very unique night of entertainment, where your table in the bistro remains yours for the entire evening (seatings start from 5.30pm and races run from 6.30pm to 10.30pm) and allows you to explore the venue and engage in the racing on offer.
It’s not just dinner – it’s a whole night of fun.
Complimentary track entry and parking are provided and the bistro dining room bar prices are very kind on the hip pocket.
The more adventurous can also delight themselves with an expertly made cocktail.
The bistro can get popular, therefore table reservations must be made.
Please note, The Meadows City View Bistro is only open on Saturday nights.
