A unique dining experience awaits you at ‘The Meadows’.

Open every Saturday night from 5:30 pm the all new City View Bistro offers diners commanding views of the Melbourne city skyline at dusk, (thanks to its level 1 elevation and aspect), as well as delicious dishes, crafted by our full-time in house head chef Steve Collins and his team.

It’s a unique place to dine and watch all the fast-paced action that comes with world-class Greyhound Racing or make a special occasion more fun and entertaining.

The bistro is suited to both family and adult dining. Tables can seat up to twelve guests and we can accommodate larger group bookings across multiple tables. This makes the bistro a wonderful option for a special occasion like a milestone birthday, Father’s Day or Mother’s Day gathering. We also cater for couples and doubles dining. The Temlee Dining Room has a limited number of ‘special’ tables on our lower terrace section. These tables offering amazing views of the track and are positioned up against the windows, atop of all the action and take in the city skyline view (there’s a picture in the gallery below).

Offering classically inspired and modern bistro dishes, there’s something to please any age, hunger and tastebud at The Melbourne Greyhounds City View Bistro. Seafood lovers have the opportunity to indulge in Pan Fried Barramundi or Reef & Reef. Those who prefer fare from off the land can tuck into a perfectly prepared Chargrilled Scotch Fillet Steak, a Hand Crumbed Chicken Schnitzel served with Fat Cut Chips or a Crispy Fried Pork Belly basted in Hoisin Glaze. Chef Steve has also catered for the vegetarian and vegans, with a delicious take on a Mushroom Ragout on a Roasted Pumpkin Wedge and Breaded Eggplant Schnitzel.

And let’s not forget, our City View Bistro dining experiences can also begin with a delicious entree. We suggest you try the spiced Cheese Croquettes, Bruschetta or Chicken Ribs. Then finish with a delectable dessert – Smoked Sticky Date Pudding, The ‘City View’ Dessert Burger or Raspberry or Ice Cream Nachos.

All dishes can also be accompanied with a glass or bottle of bubbly, a fine wine, freshly poured ice-cold tap beer or even a signature cocktail from the City View Bistro Bar.
