The London

92 Beach Street
Port Melbourne, VIC

First time out in Port Melbourne for a 20th Birthday dinner. Situated right next to the beautiful bay, The London stands with its plain exterior so why go in?

"To see is to desire, to taste is to experience." - slow88

Personally I would have rathered desired.

Liftoff! I have pictures thanks to Superman's sidekick's friend.

Food?

The London Burger
I have no picture for this burger but I can tell you Superman liked it cause it was pack full of meat. Plus it came with a FREE golf ball (which wasn't described in the menu) thanks to certified Angus Beef Australia. Thank you golf ball for reassuring me that I wasn't given fake angus beef.

The sides were wedges with a chilli sour cream dipping and it was so good that I could eat a whole bowl full (no, it does not count as junk!).

Since I took the burger and so did Superman, I didn't really like it to be honest. It was abit too much.

Chicken Parma


Fettucine with salmon

The pasta would have been better with less salmon. A reasonable sized pasta for the price you pay.

Chicken Burger (99.99% sure that this is it)

Average dish prices for the above? $17-$20.

Deco?
The London was simple and simple is never a bad thing. We were sitted downstairs but the upstairs according to their website is elegant.
Music?
Now what really made this place great while some people might hate is OLD SCHOOL MUSIC. ..Aqua, Bewitched, 80s, 90s pop OMG + videoclips. Does this mean London loves their 90s? Go London. A great way to bring back childhood memories and to get occassional friends to randomly sing it cause they just can't help it.
Service?
Service was great maybe cause it wasn't so busy. The staff were patient, friendly, gave enough space for us to enjoy, and even stuck a photo of the bday girl as requested on the birthday cake (a cheaper way to do a photo cake btw. Imagine a cake and a photo just standing on top of it instead of flat on the cake).

Would I go back?
I've decided that I shan't do this question anymore cause I'm only one person, and one person cannot represent everyone.
Is it worth it for you to try?
If you around Port Melbourne and can't decide where to go then The London is worth a try and sit outside to experience the view. The prices are reasonable with the amount of food you get and the taste.
A place to hang with friends, eat, drink,...and listen to 90s music.

  3. I had the chicken burger (yes that photo is it). It was pretty good, it was like a BLT but with chicken as well as all this other meat. And the chicken was actually a whole breast and NOT DRY! Whoo! But the mayo sucked, it didn't taste like anything. Maybe it was tartar sauce?! Hard to tell lol.
