St Andrews Hotel - Fitzroy

What a great dinner! We started with a round of cocktails, which were perfectly mixed, before moving on to appetizers and mains. The food was excellent - perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The restaurant has a very nice aesthetic with great music making for a lovely overall dining atmosphere. I would highly recommend this location. Can't wait to come back!

Went there recently as part of a decent size group. The kitchen coped really well. Meals were of a very high standard. Menu had good offerings and not overwhelming. Decent prices, probably about standard these days. A nice selection of beers, wines and cocktails. The interior was very comfortable. But the highlight was the service. Great sense of humour and ready to help without being overbearing. Highly recommended.

I visited this place a few times, quite a few years ago... but, since then, it has been totally refurbished and gone a little bit up-market. Now... it is a very comforable and sophisticated: bar / restaurant. The decor, lighting, music & atmosphere are all great! The food and drinks are excellent... and the staff are very friendly and attentive, too.

It pains me to write this review. I was a massive fan of St Andrews Hotel (then known as Pumphouse Hotel) – for years, my tradition was to visit with my brother to celebrate, and we would order the Pumphouse Burger. It was always impeccable. I am a massive burger afficianado, and have tried over 100 different burgers from here and around the world; I have always felt that the Pumphouse was criminally underrated and underknown, and should have ranked amongst the rest of Melbourne's burger royalty. However, fast forward to a few weeks ago. I brought my friend for a highly anticipated post-lockdown meal. Despite the impressive proportions remaining, the burger patty had barely any flavour. It seems the chef has been replaced and has changed the recipe, as it better resembled a rissole rather than a burger patty – there was no meaty flavour; rather, it tasted watered down with other bland ingredients used to bulk up the thickness. On the upside, the remaining burger ingredients were excellent, and the onion rings & chips were as good as before. The 666 Pink Lemonade jug was delicious, refreshing and great value. The service and atmosphere were warm and inviting as always. I sincerely hope this feedback is taken seriously so I can once again return to this storied establishment.
