Beretta’s Vaucluse Hotel

Great place to stop in for steak night as the meals are a decent size. Close to home so great place to stop in for a decently priced pub meal. Great place to grab a drink and sit outside in the sun. Staff are also really nice! Place just needs a bit of oomph added to the atmosphere.

I actually used to work here so it will always have a place in my heart. The owners changed a few months after I left and I have noticed the prices slowly increase BUT in saying that it is still very cheap compared to most pubs in Richmond. It lacks atmosphere slightly as they are trying for a pub/​bistro feel but kind of get stuck in the middle.
Recently they have been licensed to have bar tables outside along the street which I think it just fantastic and really opens the place up a lot. They do cheap parma deals most days and the food while nothing to write home about is good, decent sized pub food.
Great place to go before the footy for a feed and some pre game cheap drinks.

Came here to meet a friend, this is your run of the mill pub. Fully equipped with TAB, pokies, tradesmen and average bar attendants. Wasn’t impressed but as I said its your run of the mill pub. We were short on time & ordered a serving of ‘special wedges’ to share. Eeeew, soggy extra extra cheese dribbling off the plate and the tiniest amount of sour cream I’ve ever seen. Wont be going back.

The Vaucluse Hotel is one of the best places to eat for lunch if you happen to be in Swan Street Richmond.
The menu caters for all tastes at great prices.
I have had the Porterhouse 350gm with fresh garden salad, chips and mushroom sauce twice. I do ask for the porterhouse steak to be well done and it has been tender to cut through on both occasions. When you ask for well done and the steak comes out juicy with no blood, you know they have a great chief! The taste has been consistently nice and it has yet to disappoint. The salad could have had more dressing, but doesn’t affected the overall quality of the meal. The portion is a good size, however if you’re a big eater than you still might have room left for a small snack, maybe order another side?
The environment is what you would expect from a bar and bistro venue, however, it’s nicer than expected.
It does get busy during lunchtime, so if you don’t want to line up, I suggest coming in after 1 – 2 PM.
The service is relatively fast and the staff are friendly. You can help yourself to a glass of cold water whenever you like.
I will be coming here often as there’s so much more I would like to try on the menu.
