Discover hearty pasta, traditional family recipes and an old-school Melbourne dining experience upstairs on Meyers Place.
Our Story
A Family-Run Melbourne Institution
Tucked away upstairs on Meyers Place, The Waiters Restaurant has been serving traditional Italian food to Melbourne diners since 1947. It's the kind of old-school, unpretentious dining room where the recipes are handed down, the welcome is warm and the laneway location feels like a well-kept local secret.
Expect hearty, home-style Italian cooking — the same rustic, heritage-led approach that has made this Melbourne CBD laneway favourite a nostalgic favourite for generations of regulars.
