The Cheeky Pint — Restaurant in Melbourne

The Cheeky Pint offers a delightful experience for families seeking a relaxed evening out. Visiting on a Sunday for an early dinner, we found the atmosphere inviting with a family-friendly vibe, complete with a kids' menu and coloring sheets to keep the little ones entertained.

The pub itself is cozy with charming decor, creating a great backdrop for a casual meal. Despite its size, the menu impresses with a good variety of options.

While enjoying the laid-back ambiance, we sampled the calamari which was perfectly cooked and not at all chewy, albeit with a somewhat modest portion size. The mac and cheese croquets were a hit, complemented by a sweet yet spicy sauce that elevated the dish. The chicken parma was substantial and flavourful, showcasing tender chicken and a balanced texture. The hot and spicy chicken burger lived up to its name with a satisfying kick, though a touch of coleslaw could have helped balance the heat. For the kids, the cheeseburger was surprisingly generous in size and delicious.

Overall, The Cheeky Pint is highly recommended for families, and we look forward to returning, without the kids, for an evening out on a Friday or...

ORDERED: 🍞 Broadbean bruschetta (v): Smashed broad beans, marinated goat's feta, red onion and mint served on grilled ciabatta with balsamic glaze ($18.00)

REVIEW: Cheeky Pint is known for their parmas but I'm not a heavy chicken breast and cheese kind of gal (😢) so I thought I'd opt for something that would interest me! 😅

The servings for the bruschetta was generous. It was DOUBLE the size of what I expected, so for the price of $18 I had a meal to myself. 😲 It was a great medley of ingredients - refreshing from the pops of onion and mint with a little tanginess from the balsamic glaze. There was a good amount of flavour, especially when the broad beans are a little bit plain (but great textural element). 🧅☘ Would've enjoyed a little more if the bread was more crispy, but overall it was as solid dish.

Considering how much there is, would there be an option to make 2 of the slices with broad beans and another 2 slices another flavour? 🤔

Service was pretty hands off - but it's as you'd expect from a pub place. Quiet during lunch, it's order at the counter and they'll bring out the...

Visiting family in Melbourne and they had booked a table for the Monday pasta night at 7pm. We arrived at the door and waited at the counter to be seated while numerous people were ordering and getting their drinks. A waiter squeezed between us with some pasta for a table near the bar, which had ordered around the time we arrived. After getting to the counter, we let them know we had made a booking for the pasta night and sat down at our table and were given menus and the pasta specials which included 3 different pasta dishes for $15 and a glass of wine or schooner for an extra $5 as part of the special. Upon ordering our pasta at the counter, we were told by the bar staff that they had run out of all the pasta; 2 penne with different sauces, and a carbonara. After looking at the menu again, most mains were upwards of $30, and schooners and wines were $9 without the $5 special with a pasta dish. After a couple minutes of processing the fact that none of us were getting pasta at a pasta...
