About Micawber Tavern
For gastro pub fare bringing the best of traditional British classics to Belgrave, local foodies head to Micawber Tavern on Monbulk Road. Recently renovated and nestled within the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, this is not your average country pub; think a beer garden surrounded by ferns with a creek running through it, a log fire indoors for chilly months and live sport on TV in the bar. Expect authentic dishes such as steaks and parmas, alongside starters like scallops, black pudding, cauliflower purée, apple and curry oil; followed by beef cheek stew, potato and parsnip gratin, roast parsnip and crispy bacon. Seafood lovers may opt for prawn linguine, chorizo, preserved lemon, anchovies, chilli, rocket and pangrattato; or crispy calamari, fennel and rocket salad, chips and lime mayo.

Fun Catch Up
Got the family together - fun day out at Micawber Tavern. Beer Garden is glorious and inside a games room with pool table and games for the kids. Food was great with best parmas with fresh salad with everyone loving the buffalo chicken wings and fresh cob loaves and olives. Will come again
Great day out!
We finally had a meet up with friends and family after years of not being able too. This place did not disappoint! We have heard great things about this place since new owners! The food was the best quality pub food any of us have ever tasted, the service was great! Staff was super friendly and helpful, interacted with our kids and made it easy for us to sit here all afternoon whilst the kids were having fun playing in the huge garden on the trees and in the creek. Will definitely make this our new local! 10/10.
Great Tavern in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges
Came up for the day from Windsor and enjoyed a wonderful lunch in the Bistro - the wood fire is great including the service. I enjoyed the roasted duck leg paired with the Coombe Pinot Noir my friend had Porterhouse medium rare and came out perfect. There's lots see at the Micawber Tavern, Pool Table, games room and the beer garden and creek is stunning.
Best Pub in the Dandenong's - Great Stop for Day Trip
Best day ever, the creek runs through the beer garden and the kids had a magic day paddling their feet and exploring the gardens. I enjoyed the seafood linguine and Hubby was the Parma, the kids enjoyed iced lemonades and the best kids cheeseburgers - yum. Ordered the gluten free stout and there is a good range of ciders which are perfect to enjoy on a sunny day in the beer garden. Will definitely come back to the Micawber Tavern
