swiss mountain hotel, blampied

The Swiss Mountain Hotel in Blampied in Melbourne's West not only has a great name - it's a FAB pub! We get so excited with the scent of the crackling fireplace that warms up the welcoming rustic bar and bistro space. Rock walls and timber are the vibe here. It was renovated about 15 years ago but has kept all the character you want in a country pub. Oh, the Sunday roast is great here too!

The Morning Star in Williamstown has long been a favourite pub in the West, and we won’t lie – Mamma couldn’t be happier to see it in the capable hands of Stephen, Matt, and Aaron. Naturally, we were front and centre when the doors reopened, and wow, the makeover is pretty special. The addition of a kids’ corner and cubby house makes it an even better option for families to enjoy.

Mamma has loved this The Vic Hotel in Footscray since its renovation a few years back. It’s a pub that still feels like a pub, an updated space that still feels original. The food is incredible from entree to dessert - the buffalo wings, the mussels, the burger and oh my word, the honeycomb parfait… oh, and the Sunday Roasts are amazing! This is one to keep coming back to.
