Bridge Hotel

Top choice in Victoria


While the Bridge earned respect as a live-music venue, its new owners have added quality food to the mix, bringing in chefs from the highly regarded Public Bar. The Sunday Brazilian barbecues are what the kitchen's most famous for, but it's all good: sourdough fish and chips, Wagyu burgers or tagliatelle marinara bianco.
