What a great place for a meal or social drink. Pub classics with a twist with a mix of chef signature dishes. All of our party were delighted with their dishes. Highly recommend.
What an idyllic spot for drinks or a feed. This South Melbourne institution offers an old-school menu with modern innovations. While the mains are all meaty, there are a few vegetarian modifications available. The starters and sides are also extremely veggie friendly, not to mention market-driven and delicious. I started with the truffle and cheese ravioli- hands down some of the best truffle I’ve ever had. I could have eaten a bowlful, although the dish is so rich that it’s probably best the serve was only three raviolis big. For my main, I had a large serve of the pea soup with some beautifully prepared tomatoes and samosas. I also got the green beans with walnuts, which were fresh and not too saucy. To drink, a cucumber mint spritz. All cocktails sounded great but this one was right up my alley- not sweet, plus a bit of fizz. Finally, dessert… A welcome end to a relatively saintly meal. Dessert was also pretty healthy and light. Or at least, the one I had was. I got the poached pear on what resembled a weetbix and tasted like toffee. The pear was stuffed with cream and topped with a chocolate biscuit crumble. Speaking of chocolate, I also tried the liquor-infused truffle on the menu. A perfect sweet bite to end the meal.

We went there o a Friday night for some nibbles and drinks. Had Pol Roger to start with. And had the sashimi plate, the scallops and the wild mushroom agnolotti(amazing) which were all delicious and beautiful. Great staff and service. Very cosy decor.
We came back to Lamaros Hotel for a catch up with old work colleagues. This venue still impressed me on this latest visit, our last time being in the lead up to Christmas 2017 with the same work crowd. Although being in a smaller more intimate group it was slightly more relaxing, but it was nice to be at the same table.
We all partook in some red wines this evening, there was an extensive wine list and we were not disappointed with the Sangiovese we chose.
The popular mains within the group included the mixed grill which came with a red wine and cracked pepper sausage, lamb cutlet pork belly and steak. The other most popular choice was a steak with various toppings. While I didnt partake in these meaty dishes, the comments were plentiful around the tenderness and tastiness of these meals, the following days later there was still plenty of talk of how great the steaks are.
My dish of choice was the whole baby barramundi which came with a biryani rice and 3 sauces. My dish was lovely and tasty and gratefully not a bone in sight which made for a very enjoyable experience. We shared a variety of salads, chips and roasted vegies across the table, all prepared with delicious combinations of flavours that I thought worked really well.
For dessert we had the poached pear with a hazelnut crumbled biscuit and orange curd. The pear was well poached so cutting into was easy.
We also had the chocolate pudding with white chocolate ice cream and decadent chocolate sauce. Im so glad we ordered this dish as the menu indicated it takes extra time to prepare so we nearly didnt.

Had dinner at Lamaro’s last night, the place is a little gem of a higher-end pub / almost fine dining bistro in the heart of South Melbourne. The surroundings are quiet, but inside the pub and restaurant was buzzing on a Friday night. They have an intensive drinks menu, plenty of amazing wines to choose from. Decent selection of cocktails. The food was surprisingly incredible. The grilled scallops with pork belly was a definite highlight, followed very closely by the kingfish sashimi. As for main, we went with the ribs and that glaze on the ribs was just finger-licking delicious! I kinda wished the glaze/bbq sauce on those ribs came in a jar so I can have ribs that taste like that at home…
Finished with a coconut pavlova for dessert, opted for the fresh tasting one as the others sounded a bit more rich and we were already so full at this stage we almost just needed a refreshing palate cleanser. Great decision. The passionfruit curd inside the coconut pav was pretty intense.. and pretty amazing.
Overall, the ambience is pleasant and cosy with a fireplace in the corner. Lovely dinner, thank you to the friendly staff at Lamaro’s for a delightful evening.
