Belmont Hotel (Geelong)

Best Known For

Orange and maple-glazed pork belly with a crunchy Asian peanut salad.

Long a favourite watering hole for locals, the Belmont Hotel on High Street in Belmont is also one of Geelong’s top function venues. Taking inspiration from the original 1920s décor, think glamorous art deco style with exposed floorboards and brickwork, combined with rich blue furniture and elegant chandelier lighting for a warm, relaxed ambience. Choose classic pub favourites and tasty modern dishes to enjoy in the restaurant, lower balcony, bar or rooftop terrace; delve into sticky pork belly bites with fresh chilli and spring onion to start, or salt and pepper calamari, lemon and cocktail sauce. For the main affair, perhaps pappardelle with duck ragu and shaved Parmesan entices, or Porterhouse steak, chips and salad; while chicken parmigiana, mash and vegetables never disappoints.
