Alpine Hotel, Warburton — mamma knows east

You can’t go past a pub meal when you have hungry kids in the car and a weekend adventure to complete. The Alpine Hotel in Warburton offer amazing food and great spaces to enjoy it.

You can’t miss the beautiful big building that overlooks the Yarra River from the hillside. The Alpine has both chilled and laid back family vibes, but also would work beautifully as a date night destination. We love eating outdoors - either on the Warburton side on the deck or by the lawn and bocce court in the beer garden.

Food is wonderful and a step up from your usual pub grub. On the bistro menu, there are plenty of options to share, so mix it up and spread the good stuff around the table. The carrots are to die for and the kids can’t go past the party pies or the chicken and veg.

PLUS - kids eat FREE on Thursday nights!
