    Absolutely incredible! This was a meal where the rule book on how things are supposed to taste and be presented was thrown out and what you were left with was incredibly surprising and wonderful at every turn. We had a vegetarian meal (not vegan so dairy, honey and eggs were okay). Very often, we find that vegetables are used or presented in a manner that attempts to mimic the texture and flavour of meat. While I'm mostly okay with that approach, at Attica the vegetables and other ingredients definitely took center stage and didn't feel like they were a substitute for anything else. Non alcoholic pairings are usually just a dozen ways of serving something sickly sweet over and over, but the care that went into creating a series of unique, sometimes wine like drinks, was deeply appreciated. Also the fact that it was built around native ingredients and cooking styles means that I'm never going to experience anything similar anywhere else.

    The staff are very friendly and attentive which was great! We went on Thursday - Steak night which was really good value with chips & side salad & tasty. Delicious banana fritters & icecream for dessert but $15 was on the pricey side for a pub meal. Overall an enjoyable place to eat , but good idea to book as it gets busy .

    Have to be my favourite pub . The specials are the best value for money . Steak all day and into the night on a Tuesday and roast for $24 on a Sunday . Excellent service from our waiter “Darius” so professional and knowledgeable . I like to dine here every couple of months as I live on the Mornington Peninsula and this would have to be the best pub meal ever . So Thankyou I will be back .

    Delicious food and attentive service. Different dining space options, a front room, fireside dining room and more casual outdoor space. You could easily have an intimate dinner for two or more casual catch up. We really enjoyed it.
