Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Upwey

Cacao elixers are the thing of dreams. The whole menu is gorgeous. Sight, taste, smell... all delightful. The place itself is made with pure love. It's a nurturing space and nurturing food. A lovely place to go with soul mates and good friends, or by yourself, equally nourishing. Staff are gorgeous.

We dine at Kelly's a bit because they have the best cooked eye fillet steaks, the staff are so friendly and accommodating and the atmosphere is so quant and inviting always have the best experience dinning here.

We absolutely love Gilson. Fun atmosphere and the most delicious Italian food. Great value for money and can't wait to come back. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. A special shout out to Fay who goes above and beyond to make your dining experience memorable.

By far one of the best restaurants in Melbourne. We rocked up on a Monday evening at 8:45pm, late to our booking 8:30pm, in which we thought the restaurant closed at 12pm but no- it closed at 9pm! So automatically I thought they would apologise and say that we had come too late or give us a time of which we had to leave but instead they catered us, looked after us and told us to take our time. Lucas, the manager and our waiter was so very accomodating. Midway through the dinner, we (me and my date) were the only ones in the restaurant. Was truly an experience I am very grateful for, and all the food was 10/10. I do recommend the ebi mayo, okonomiyaki and yakitori AND the HOT CHOCOLATE - it's one of the best I've had. No joke. 100% recommend.

If you want a great vibe from beginning to end - go to Neighbourhood Pizza. The energy is electric and the staff are young and vibrant. We had 2 pizzas and a rocket salad to share (3) and a glass of wine each - we were not disappointed. Arrived at 6.30 and knew had to leave table at 8 but was perfect for 3 work colleagues catching up. Would go again … and again.
