Clifton Hill is a quiet, leafy suburb with most of its restaurants dotted along Queens Parade. The handful of venues there emulate the feel of the suburb itself – laidback, cosy and comfortable.

From a new-wave wine bar with contemporary share plates to authentic Italian pizzerias – these are the best restaurants in Clifton Hill.

Looking for something specific?

Pizza Shop
Restaurant
Follow the red-neon glow to one of Melbourne’s best pizzerias, attached to an already-excellent neighbourhood bar. Perfectly blistered sourdough pies, left-field toppings and gluten-free options await.

Queen Margaret
Restaurant
The Margherita pizza was named after Italian royal Regina Margherita. Now there’s a new pizzeria in Clifton Hill bearing her name, albeit in English.
Spensley’s
Restaurant
Visit this light and airy wine bar, in a quiet northside backstreet, for the well-executed food. Stay for the sculptural timber, brass accents, and warm, classic feel.
