Middle Park Hotel, Melbourne: Food menu and accommodation
The Middle Park Hotel in Melbourne is close to St Kilda Beach, but far enough away to feel relaxed. The food menu’s good, and this Middle Park accommodation offers something different.
The Middle Park Hotel in Melbourne is one of those pubs that benefits from not being right in the centre of the action. It’s next to Albert Park, where the Australian Formula One Grand Prix is held, and within an easy walk of St Kilda Beach. But it’s in a quiet enough spot to not feel frenetic, and that feeds through into this Melbourne hotel’s character.
It’s not a hard-edged pub, but neither is it one that tries to be too cool and trendy. There’s a neighbourhood pub vibe, but one that is worldly wise and borderline genteel.

Middle Park Hotel food menu
The Middle Park Hotel’s food menu is a step above that of most Australian pubs. There’s a classic beef pie and chicken parma available, but there are much more interesting options. These include a kingfish ceviche and a hanging lamb kebab with woodfired flatbread and raita.
Grass-fed steaks are the speciality, however.
