Melbourne Cup at Victoria Park Bistro

Saddle up for Melbourne Cup Day at Victoria Park Bistro, where leafy surrounds, city views and an easy-going atmosphere set the scene for a relaxed race-day celebration. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy the thrill of the race without all the formality – just good food, great company and plenty of Cup Day energy.

From 11:30 am the fun begins, with live music setting the mood and the races screened live and loud so you won’t miss a moment of the action. Smaller groups can keep things casual by booking a table and ordering from the bistro’s seasonal a la carte menu – ideal for a spring-racing lunch in the sunshine, with no set menus or minimum spends. For groups of 20 or more, curated food packages start from just $32 per person, with menus to suit every appetite – think woodfired pizzas, generous banquets or cocktail platters piled with crowd-pleasers like crispy duck spring rolls, beef sliders, fresh crab rolls and cold king prawns.

To keep the celebrations flowing, the Chandon Garden Spritz Bar will be pouring all afternoon, adding a refreshing sparkle to the day. And when the race is run, there’s no need to rush off – stick around with friends, share a bite or two and keep the good times rolling well into the afternoon.
