About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Romantic
  • Great for scenic views
Encapsulating the inspiring and aristocratic history of the 160 year old Como property, The Stables has become a much-needed refuge from the hectic Melbourne city lifestyle, without needing to travel outside of the city fringe. Our gourmet picnic hampers are stacked and piled high with a delectable menu to be devoured amongst 5 acres of manicured gardens.

    Ready on time. A lot of food! Easy to do. Including a coffee option after or as a takeaway would be good.

    Presentation was beautiful. A wonderful idea but the food lacked flavour. Also too much . We would have managed with one lot for four people

    The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were very friendly. It was just a huge disappointment that there was a VERY loud baby shower going on whilst we were there. We asked if the music could be turned down but as it was a private event there wasn't much that could be done. Would have been nice to know in advance so we could have rearranged our afternoon. I would still recommend to a friend though because the food really was delicious and well thought out and the idea is brilliant, just check what other events are going on. We've been before and never had an issue.

    A glorious picnic lunch with friends in the serene Como House gardens. Food was plentiful and delicious. We had everything we needed with a short hop to get coffee from the Stables Cafe. The perfect way to reconnect and relax in the shade of the trees for a few hours. Thank you!

    Food was lovely but very expensive for what we got. $50 per head is too much for a brunch option.

    Too expensive for what was provided. The experience itself was great, but could be replicated with just a couple of sandwiches and drinks for the same value

    Gardens were beautiful food was more than plentiful! You probably do not need to pay per head as there is so much food. Everything was ready to go as soon as we arrived. Would highly recommend.

    We loved our time picnicking in the Como grounds especially after this lockdown. Would definitely recommend this experience to others
