A few words from Nevsky Eastern European Restaurant
Hidden away on Glen Huntly Road, Nevsky delivers more than a meal — it offers a brief escape to old-world Eastern Europe without leaving Melbourne. With rich timber, brick and candle-lit interiors, the atmosphere evokes a cozy heritage dining room rather than a modern bistro.
From the moment you walk in, there's a sense of warmth and familiarity: friendly staff, mellow lighting, and a menu that reads like a love letter to Russian and Eastern European home cooking.
Nevsky's menu is generous and unpretentious. It's built around hearty soups, dumplings, stews and classic Eastern-European comfort dishes — think beetroot-heavy borscht, soft pelmeni dumplings, cabbage rolls, blinchiki (crepes), and savoury stews rich with spices and warmth.
Whether you come for a simple dinner or a full banquet, the portions are generous and meant to be shared. The restaurant even caters to dietary needs: many dishes are gluten-free by default, and staff are open to modifying meals when requested.
