Maybe I am being a bit mean with a score of 3, I just don't like that much meat! But the meat we were served was perfectly cooked, so maybe it should at least have been a 4, I mean lots of people just love red meat!!!!

I first had the pleasure of dining at Vlado's in 1976 and have eaten there a number of times since, including on a recent trip to Melbourne. The food and service did not disappoint and the meat dishes were simply spectacular in there flavour, preparation and presentation. It's simply a carnivore's delight. If you're nearby and thinking about where to... More

The best steaks on the planet - its all about the meat

Set menu, but with choice of cut of the main, being steak of course, and choice of dessert. Entree of mix grilled sausages, livers, choice cuts, etc. The entree itself was worth half the price of the dinner. Wine or beer of choice. But the main, the steak is what you come here for. I chose rump, grass-fed, for extra... More

With the meat you get a coleslaw salad, which I happen to love and a very nice dessert. For what you get to eat (lots)... More

The concept though is done now much better by places like Rockpool, albeit at a higher cost. My sons 16th birthday choice and he enjoyed it as he... More

I absolutely love steak and everyone who has ever seen me eat it knows this. Thus over many years of visiting Melbourne this place has been hyped as the best steak house in town. To say i was looking forward to finally visiting was an understatement. Unfortunately the concept lived up to the hype but the quality of the meat... More

Visited Vlado's for my wife's birthday. She is a massive steak lover and she now has dreams about it. Before you even sit down to order drinks they provide you with your first dish of the night. A sausage on it's own, couple this with the mustards and sauces that are on the table. The choices of wines are very... More

Successful restauranteurs take note of the bronzed moniker on the wall at Vlado's: "40 years of no change". Thats right. I've been to Vlado's about four times in the past 15 or so years as I've visited Melbourne and it has not changed a bit. Except for the prices which have moved north. A small unpretentious hole-in-the wall in the... More
