About this restaurant

Great for fine wines
Neighborhood gem
Charming

We are a Pizza and Wine Bar located just a few strides from Surrey Hills Train station, on Union Road. We think that wine should first and foremost be fun, and therefore we look to showcase avant-garde producers who make wine in a fresh and approachable manner - wines that sit perfectly alongside a delicious slice of pizza.

Great food, beautiful wine, and a lovely atmosphere made for a promising evening. Unfortunately, the service let it down — the staff seemed disengaged, and it was often hard to get their attention. With more attentive service, this place could be exceptional.

Thanks so much for your kind words about our food, wine, and atmosphere — we're thrilled those elements hit the mark! We're really sorry to hear the service didn’t match the rest of your experience. That’s not the standard we aim for, and we’ll definitely be having a team chat (maybe even with extra espressos involved) to sharpen things up. We truly appreciate your honest feedback — it's how we get better. We’d love to welcome you back soon and show you the full experience, start to finish.

I had two issues with The Hills. It offers just one non alcoholic beer. There should be more choice in 2025. The other issue is something beyond the control of The Hills: a quite loud diner sitting nearby who disturbed the ambience to some extent. Of course, that's a random event. Other than that, it was fine.

The Hills is my favourite place for a drink. It has a warm, sophisticated vibe (think artwork and candlelight), great selection of wine, sides and gourmet pizza (I particularly recommend the salmon pizza). What really makes this place a winner for me, though, is the service: they are warm, welcoming and really know their wines! I've brought friends many times to The Hills; this evening I brought my parents, and the lovely manager greeted me by name and thoroughly charmed my folks. This bar is one of Melbourne's best.

I recently visited The Hills Wine Bar and had an absolutely wonderful experience! The service was excellent and incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The wine selection was impressive, and every dish we tried was delicious. The cozy vibe of the bar added to the overall enjoyment, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing evening. Highly recommend!
