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.
Read MoreMamma 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.
Read MoreIf you live in Kingsville, then you’d already know about this place. Flocks of families and brew loving folks have already discovered the newest micro brewery in Melbourne’s West and as Mamma does, we stumbled upon Barbarian and its beacon of yellow and stayed for a few hours - they now have a full kitchen! With amazing meats, and even a Sunday Roast, you'll walk out full and content!
Read MoreThe little pub on the corner in Seddon has reopened, and what a neighbourhood treasure it is! It first opened in 1874 so it’s great to see it still standing and looking spectacular. Have a meal with friends in the courtyard; watch some sport and grab a cheeky wine in the bar; enjoy a sit down meal in the dining room. Enjoy pub classics like bangers and mash, chicken parmas and a Sunday Roast!
Read MoreHardimans Hotel in Kensington is a gorgeous pub, inside and out. Mamma LOVES the stunning art deco building - it almost make you feel like you’re looking at the Flat Iron Building in New York while you’re standing on a bustling corner in the inner west! The food is amazing with necessary staples of parma and burgers, but with fantastic options like the bouilibaise and papaya squid salad.
Read MoreHoused in a rustic old farm shed and nestled under the grand old trees is The Whiskery. It is basically a cellar door - but it’s not basic - you can grab a table and spend some time here at this lovely spot taste testing the amazing gins they make here, plus they have started their own whiskey range of course! There are other whiskies to sip on plus gin based cocktails and also beer and wine.
