SkyHigh Mount Dandenong Overview

Dining at SkyHigh Mount Dandenong, perched high in the Dandenong Ranges, is nothing short of breathtaking. Unparalleled views from the Mornington Peninsula across Port Philip Bay to the You Yangs National Park provide an ever-changing backdrop to this stylish venue. Grab a seat by the window or on one of the spectacular outdoor viewing terraces, or cosy up by the open fireplace in winter. Even without the views, the food here more than holds its own. Changing seasonally to reflect the best available produce, SkyHigh Mount Dandenong's contemporary menu could feature seared scallops with ginger carrot puree and baby herb salad for entrée, or Moroccan lamb backstrap with chickpea and vegetable cous cous and apricot puree for main.

Get some perspective & escape the noise and pressures of the concrete jungle. Less than one hour from the Melbourne CBD you can be SkyHigh – on the uppermost reach of the Dandenong Ranges, amid cool fern glades and lush towering native forest, looking at the big picture, from the Mornington Peninsula across the majestic sweep of Port Phillip Bay, surrounded by Melbourne's growing urban fringes, to the You Yangs on the southern horizon. After sunset the southern sky, brilliant in the clear mountain night, is imitated by a spectacular carpet of city lights.

First established as a survey point in 1861 this historic area, which has recently undergone a lavish and sympathetic redevelopment, affords a unique overview of Greater Melbourne. Enjoy the unparalleled vista from the SkyHigh Bistro or fire up a public barbecue, spread a rug and picnic on the elevated viewing terrace.

SkyHigh bistro and restaurant offers contemporary dining for all the family to enjoy. Our Head Chef has designed a menu with a modern Australian flavour, catering to a broad range of tastes, including vegetarian and gluten free offerings.

In winter, dinner in front of our large open fire place is a popular choice, but when the sun appears alfresco dining on our spectacular viewing terraces or a window seat inside our stylish bistro / restaurant is the place to be.

Breakfast and lunch is always a casual affair, at night time with the stars at your feet, SkyHigh Bistro transforms into a sophisticated and intimate restaurant and is a great venue for a celebration.

The SkyHigh restaurant is located on the ground floor of the building, the top function room is for private hire only unless you are booking our Sunday buffet lunch or high tea.

SkyHigh Mount Dandenong offers a complimentary limousine pick up from Bed and Breakfasts in the local area, within a 7 km radius. This service is available 5 nights a week Monday to Friday (Not available Saturday or Sunday nights).

Wow....I had heard of Sky High but never visited. I was told it was a tourist place and was expecting something like the penguin island. I was completely wrong. It has a proper restaurant with a full a la carte menu, happy and knowledgeable staff, a full wine list and proper chefs. The food was fantastic - aged eye fillet was cooked perfectly and my boyfriend had the lamb which was juicy and looked fantastic. The restaurant was packed, a little noisy but I prefer that than a dead quiet restaurant with no atmosphere. I was lucky enough to get a table near the window and the views were stunning. Almost got carried away with the occasion and proposed to my boyfriend but waited for him to pop the question instead. No luck though.....boys are so dumb!! Actually, there was a wedding going on upstairs at the time which put me off initially as I thought we would get second rate service and the food would take ages but I was proved wrong again. I highly recommend anyone to eat at Sky High, we loved it......
