The Vic Hotel Footscray

Thank you to the chef and staff at this wonderful venue. We had such a lovely time and the food was out of this world so delicious! With two entrees, several drinks and mains the price was also excellent for great quality food. Special thank you the staff who are simply amazing people!

Apparently, under new management, this restaurant excelled. A delicious choice of beers and cocktails from the bar. Then we strolled into the dining area, An inviting candle light decor is audilbly but not visually separated from the bar. Yum!! The menu options ... Great meat, and vegetarian and heaps of gluten-free options. The wine choice was fabulous. What a find. Entrees were a succulent surprise. Must have! I followed up with an Eye fillet Steak cooked to perfection and Seasonal vegetables. Our group had lots of variations of meals off the menu, and everyone was extremely happy. The staff were attentive and friendly. A testimony to a great harmonious ambience, many of the guests had children with them, and of course, they have a lovely kids menu. High chairs available. Cocktails were lovely.
Wheel chair access and appropriate toilets.

I popped in with a few friends for just a couple of drinks over the weekend and ended up staying until late in the night! There was such a great vibe!

The food was delicious, the service was warm and friendly, with a great wine and cocktail list, and as it was nice weather, we sat in the courtyard enjoying the afternoon sunshine and then evening breeze once after sunset.

One of my friends actually said she was jealous she didn't have this pub near her in Thornbury, she said she'd be here all the time.

Lucky for me, this is MY new local, and I don't need to travel to Thornbury, or across town for a great night with friends. I'll definitely be back as a regular for sure.

Absolutely enjoyed the pork scotch fillet. Beautifully cooked, sides on point, lots of flavour.
Service friendly, atmosphere family friendly and couples friendly with lots of different spaces. Lovely outdoor area.
Will definitely be back to try the rest of your menu & yes there are GF options! Thank you

Great to have a chicken parmy- all Gluten Free! Sad to hear that it has been sold and will not be solely gluten free anymore.

A must-see!. Recently, under new management. The warm earthy tones of the bar are welcoming. A great range of cocktails, beers, wines, and a welcoming smile from the staff.. It was a really pleasant start. We then entered into the well placed dining room. Audilbly but not visually hidden from the bar. Our group enjoyed a few wines, and the menu had a great choice of gluten-free, vegetarian, and delicious meat options. Table service with a smile. The staff actually had time and actually seemed to enjoy their jobs. So rare these days! The entrees were delicious, and I enjoyed a juicy eye fillet. My friends had other options that they were extremely happy with. The meals were all well served with fresh seasonal vegetables. 😋 There was no room for sweets, but a few cocktails back at the bar was a perfect ending to a lovely night out. I noticed quite a few young families throughout the night, which made me feel I was in a safe environment. Well done !
I will return.

This is the 3rd time we have used the Vic Hotel for a gathering, but the first time for an event. The team were great meeting all our expectations in terms of delivery of services and continued communication for us to make adjustments on the go. Food was great and the bar staff friendly and considerate
Will continue to use them in the future.
Thanks Courtney, Ash, Andy and the whole team for a great experience.

Lunch at the Victoria Hotel Footscray today definitely did not disappoint. Their new menu is now 100% gluten free which makes it a haven for Coeliacs, and as a non GF person it still tastes completely YUM. Staff were also lovely!
They also have an extensive GF beer range 🍻 This our new local that’s for sure! Already planned our return visits with much excitement. 🥰

We were Copper Pot regulars, so when we heard Ash had taken on the kitchen there, it was a no brainer.
We have happily found our local here, great food, delicious! Easy relaxed atmosphere and great service. It's roomy and friendly and authentic. We will be back soon.

Delicious and big servings of pub food. 100% gluten free menu. Plenty of non alcoholic drinks available.

Was a great local pub! Food was very tasty! Especially the bang bang cauliflower!

Great little dining spot. Emily, who welcomed us on arrival was brilliant. The menu is true quality. Ten out of ten, everything was perfect, especially the vibe.

After driving past a multitude of times my partner and I decided to finally stop in tonight.
The place looks great post Reno - certainly no expense spared and it feels lovely and airy inside.
Good options on the menu… we came in for a chicken parmigiana and which we both thoroughly enjoyed - I will certainly be back to try the cauliflower croquettes! Loved the billiard table tucked in the back corner also.
Will certainly be back 🤙🏼

Was opening night, not fair to give a score, food was delicious, atmosphere, welcoming, service was good.
It's going to make the walk past to the Mona a hard decision.
It's great to have another good venue.

Everything on the menu is 100% gluten-free great place for Coeliac's to dine at the food is delicious.

Great service here, and the food was delicious. We went on steak night so got 250g steak and chips with a delicious dressed side salad for $19. We also tried the Parma and the Gnocchi which were very good.

They have space to eat in the bar, and a separate bistro area which has table service. Surprisingly it was very very quiet which is a shame as our experience here was great. I really hope they get a bit more custom as I couldn't fault our night at all.

Really lovely staff behind the bar (sober, gluten free boy, I'm looking at you!). All gluten free menu but very welcoming for all. Great little courtyard plus outdoor tables on the street for the dogs. Parma was delicious! Thanks, team!

Today our son (who has many allergies) enjoyed his first pub meal at the Victoria Hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the menu is 100% gluten free.
Thank you so much to The Vic for accommodating for dietary needs and allowing mum and dad to finally enjoy a drink and share a meal as a family 💙

Anticipation was in the air as we approached 'The Victoria Hotel' in Footscray; it's neon 'Carlton' signs cutting through the evening fog like a jet plane through clouds. We were immediately greeted by the meître d' and escorted to our private function, whereupon the festivities titilated us until late evening. As we sauntered to our table, I noted the dining area to be spacious and well lit. We attended the 20dollar steak night. It was a reasonable feast although I ordered 'blue' steak and was served what I would call 'medium rare'.

absolutely fantastic neighbourhood pub serving craft beers on tap at very reasonable prices and very great decent pub food!
it is very spacious, good for a big party!
