THE DANDENONG PAVILION

I love this place. The owner Danny and his staff are friendly and caring, the interior is contemporary but comfortable, and the food is first class. The lamb and rosemary risotto is an all time favourite for me but there are lots of other great things to eat here too. Their beef burgers are good enough for many to cross town for, but for me, the calamari or their open souvlaki are my next favourite meals. This place has set the standard for contemporary dining in Dandenong ever since they opened and draws a crowd to prove it. It’s not the Fat Duck, but it is the bomb in this part of town! They have pared the menu down a bit of late and taken off some of my old favourites, otherwise I’d give this a 5.
