The Kent Hotel The Kent Hotel

Carlton North gastropub with bistro and al fresco dining

A place like The Kent Hotel doesn't happen overnight. You need a quiet setting on the doorstep to the city yet faraway from the everyday.

You need a restaurant that dazzles you with deliciously inventive market fresh Mediterranean dishes. And a wine list that charms you with a choice of more than two hundred fine wines. You need the option of dining al fresco beneath a leafy canopy opposite one of Melbourne's more picturesque parklands. And function rooms that cater for special occasions for up to a hundred and forty people. You need a place where you can enjoy everything from a quiet coffee to an enchanted evening.

OPEN 7 DAYS
Monday -Thursday 12 pm - late
Friday - Sunday 11 am - late

We’d like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, the traditional custodians of the land on which we operate today and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future, and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
