Wayside Inn

Best Known For

Baby Back Pork Ribs: smoked, slow-cooked and char-grilled pork ribs with sticky Bourbon glaze, with sides of Wayside chips and market vegetables.

Cold beer, fine wine and quality food are what Melbourne foodies find at new pub dining destination the Wayside Inn on City Road. Nestled between Southbank and South Melbourne, the Wayside offers a relaxed, informal bar to enjoy a counter lunch and icy ale; dine in the spacious restaurant area, or take to a leafy courtyard outdoors, ideal for lapping up the afternoon sun. Graze on starters of crispy sesame fried chicken strips, tossed in Bourbon glaze; before sharing a Texas Platter of BBQ ribs, buffalo wings, potato skins, sour cream, blue cheese and BBQ sauce. Be tempted by pan-seared salmon, garlic mash, herb-tossed vegetables and creamy seeded mustard sauce; or wrap your hands around an Indian-fusion lamb burger, pickled onions, daikon, tomato, lettuce, cumin yoghurt and mint relish.
