McDaid's Irish Pub — Restaurant in Melbourne

What a stunning venue, parking available just about anywhere. A gorgeous venue inside with everything well maintained. Friendly greetings as we walked in asking if we wanted to dine there and would we be partaking in trivia that night. Well.. yes, why not. The food was quite lovely with some Australian and Irish classics on the menu. The Irish stew was wonderful with only one small improvement they could make but that's a very subjective opinion so no points taken away for that. The medium steak came out rare though which does raise the eyebrow. Desserts and Entrees were generally fantastic.

Side note: get the Arancini balls.

The trivia on the night only added to the wonderful vibe of the pub, slightly sectioned off from the punters who were only there for a drink or food, yet friendly enough to have some good banter with the other tables around. The trivia was hosted by an external company but they had good rapport with the bar staff. The staff at the pub were excellent. Should you go there?...

Great location, but having had a meal there, reckon there’s room for improvement. The staff were fantastic, very attentive and fun! The menu has nailed it, although having had the curry, which had lots of flavour, it needs more of the sauce(and chicken). My son had bangers and mash(which is what it should be named in the menu), which needs a bigger serving of mash and the gravy needs some tweaking. I’d also suggest a small blog in the front of the menu about the history of the pub and it’s owners. People love that. Loved the trad session happening in the front bar, but wished the background music was turned off while they were playing. I’d love to see more of a mix of high tables and lower tables throughout, to give it a more authentic Irish pub feel. Missing one big addition outside though - a giant flagpole holding the tri-colour. All in all, we’d a great time and would be...

Perfect 👌 Delicious 😋 Customer service with a smile, always happy, kind, I've been enjoying the $11 lunch specials and going through the list to try them all out. Every meal is perfect 🥰, piping hot straight from the stove to the table and the meals stay hot throughout eating them. I've been to other places and the meals go warm, but at Mc'Daids all meals I've had actually stay hot hot until I finish eating them. I can't even pick a favourite as every specials I've had has been amazing full of flavours and tasty. But you should definitely try their seafood chowder OMG 😲 you'll think your in heaven, I could eat a saucepan full of it. The Linguine Carbonara so delightful, creamy, flavours smooth 😋 to eat. If I had a car I'd go daily, at $11 specials lunch menu, you can't beat that. I'm crossing off each special amd...
