What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Meletos is lauded for its stunning Yarra Valley views, charming rustic ambiance, and delicious food, particularly wood-fired pizzas and regional delights. Guests often praise the attentive service and beautiful presentation. However, some diners have noted issues with menu limitations due to wine usage, potential noise levels in the dining room, and inconsistencies in service during busy periods.
"The lady at the antique shop in Yarra Glen recommended Meletos to us—and she was absolutely right! What a stunning place. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive. We went with the banquet for two, and every dish was spot on—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The ambience is charming, with rustic elegance and beautiful views all around. Highly recommend making a stop here if you’re in the area!"

"Took my partner here for lunch to celebrate his Birthday. It is a stunning spot, great atmosphere, great food and the staff were lovely. We noticed strait away the size of the tables! Not often you get a decent sized table for 2 people, really happy with that.
The food was spectacular, well presented and delicious. I found it to be a little overpriced, but it was a special occasion and a once off"
Rachel Walters
"I need to share this restaurant with everyone I know—because it’s just that damn amazing. The moment you step inside, you’re completely swept away by the breathtaking view and the incredible openness of the space.
To be honest, the food variety and taste don’t quite live up to the insane beauty of the place—but don’t get me wrong, it’s still good. It’s just that the view elevates the whole experience to another level.
Bro, trust me. If you have someone special, you have to bring them here for a date. It’s absolutely worth it. And if you don’t… well, you might just be living a slightly less successful life."
