The Watering Hole Tavern

Best Known For

Hawaiian Chicken Parma: topped with housemade concasse, bacon, pineapple and grilled cheese.

Nestled in the lush green Dandenong Ranges, The Watering Hole Tavern on Olinda-Monbulk Road has become a firm favourite for Monbulk locals to wet their whistle and whet their appetite. This family-run hotel is the go-to spot for enjoying a housemade chicken parma with the kids, to sink a beer or cider on tap, or chill out in the inviting beer garden with an ice-cold glass of wine. Expect to find pub classics such as house-cut steak and wood-fired pizzas on the menu, along with starters like grilled chicken satay sticks, served on rice with Chef’s spicy peanut sauce. Perhaps perfectly cooked Porterhouse steak with mushroom sauce hits the mark, or housemade lasagne with chips and salad; before indulgent desserts like white chocolate and raspberry lava cake and individual citrus tarts.
