A hidden family dining experience

If you’ve never been to the Melbourne Greyhounds at The Meadows and dined in the City View Bistro, it’s about time you treated the family.

Aptly named for the Melbourne city skyline views it offers diners, this bistro is a hidden gem (due to it being a little hard to find) and only offers dining on Saturday nights.

Located on Northcorp Boulevard, access is off Camp Road, near the Sydney Road end.

For those who have already dined in this elevated bistro, with its sensational racetrack and city views, you’ll be pleased to learn an all-new summer menu was launched recently, crafted and curated by head chef Steve Collins.

He and the racing association’s hospitality manager Harry Thackray and CEO have all worked diligently over the past 18 months to take the City View’s dining concept to a new level.

Google reviews are already singing the praises of the transformation that’s taken place.

The desserts have received particularly high praise from the dining public.

In case the promise of a great dining experience isn’t enough for you to get off the couch, don’t forget Saturday nights at the City View Bistro revolve around the excitement of world-class greyhound racing.

A 12-race card provides a very unique night of entertainment, whereby your table in the bistro remains yours for the entire evening (seatings start from 5.30pm and races run from 6.30pm to 10.45pm) 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 easy on the hip pocket.

The more adventurous can also delight themselves with an expertly-made cocktail or a top-shelf spirit.

This bistro is very popular, therefore a table reservation must be made.

Bookings can be made via the new melbournegreyhounds.org.au or calling 9355 5222 during weekly business hours.
