Conveniently located in East Melbourne, GG Restaurant offers sweeping views of the city and Fitzroy Gardens. With an extensive European menu and a wine list thoughtfully created to enhance the offering, GG is a perfect spot for a business lunch, dinner celebration, or can be privately booked for up to 200 guests for events.

Seasonal menus are designed by our kitchen team, which is led by well respected Melbourne chef, Paul Dunlop. Hand-made pasta, wood-fired pizza, and meats slow-roasted over coal and wood from our rotisserie are available to share. Vegetarians are also well catered for with many meat-free dishes.

A comprehensive wine list offers a vast selection of both local and international wines as well as European style aperitifs and craft beers. A bespoke cocktail list includes both classic and modern cocktails with a GG Restaurant twist.

Situated a stone’s throw from the MCG, GG Restaurant is open from 11am, 7 days a week.

    Prices have gone up but service has not improved, still have to ask for the wine to be filled up water refilled etc. At these prices I will go elsewhere even though it’s on my doorstep.

    I'm a huge fan of traditional Italian food - simple ingredients combined and cooked with plenty of flavour. GGs delivers a menu packed full of dishes that meet this brief. I wanted to try everything. We'll be back.

    Long & relaxing lunch at GG's with friends. Never fails to impress. We had a minor issue with service at the start, however staff were incredibly apologetic and more than made up for the shortcomings. We would highly recommend GG's to anyone wanting a quality meal or equally just a few lazy afternoon coffees or cocktails.

    The food was delicious and we had a lovely night until they charged a surcharge for using credit card. To me, this is one of the most annoying things a restaurant can do and turns me off coming back.
