What Subinspd likes about The Duke of Wellington:
The food was great and the ambiance was good too. Ordered several items from the menu including Parmi,fish&chips. The food was in good quantity and was delicious (except for the meal similar to chicken wings too salty for us that use a reasonable amount of salt in our meal). The staff was very friendly and approachable. Ordering from the menu only online through a QR code so need to have some tech grasp to eat some f... View all feedback.

We had booked a table on a Friday night, upstairs in the section next to the wine bar (which was sadly booked for a private function the night we were).

The Duke of Wellington serves Modern Australian cuisine There is a number small dishes which end up sharing like tapas style dining.

Located not far from Flinders St Railway Station, Duke offers a mix of experiences for diners. While some have found the food disappointing or overpriced, others have enjoyed the generous portions and tasty dishes. The service has been described as friendly and attentive, with some highlighting the accommodating nature of the staff. The ambiance and location make it a great spot for pre-concert drinks or a casual meal with friends. While some have had mixed experiences with the food and pricing, others have praised the team for their professionalism and genuine service, making Duke a place worth revisiting for many.

Enormous parma good to fit 3 people! Other foods are ok. Great variety of craft beers and a nice rooftop bar to chillout and have a chat with colleagues.

The pub grub is always fresh and tasty at the Duke. Enjoyed the Pork chop this trip, a change from my usual chicken parmigiana, which is always excellent.
