Harry's Restaurant Cafe & Bar

After abandoning breakfast as another location, we defaulted to our hotel's buffet restaurant...hang it, we were hungry and upset and figured we'd probaby end up spending at least the same amount anywhere else as for the full buffet...so in we go. Busy, lots of young families, homely. Unfortunately that's about it. Cold plates, cold scrambled eggs, cold (and barely cooked) bacon, cold mushrooms, cold hash browns. Coffee (machine) was very strong and quite good. Usual juices but loads of condiments (seeds, nuts, salads, yoghurts, cereals, etc). Problem was with the kids using the place as a playground and slack a@#e parents no looking after them. We caught on kid eat cream off the serving spoon and put it back in the bowl. We told the parents...they left, and the staff replaced. So, on the expensive side for what we had but the food should DEFINITELY be hot and steamy when coming from the servery. I'll be doing the continental in future...way more variety...besides...how do they check if you've paid continental and helped yourself to full buffet??

Had a great weekend stay next to Harry's - at The Stamford - so had a couple of meals here in the bar section. Wonderful warm outdoor setting with umbrellas, benches, blankies, mulled wine and great entertainment in the laneway. Indoors for good value happy hour drinks and Thursday night meal specials for wonton soup and laksa. Great service and welcome. Definitely will return next visit to Melbourne.

We stayed at the Stamford Plaza where Harry's is located. Don't bother with the breakfast buffet. You can get a better breakfast in any of the surrounding cafes

Good choice of beverages and couple that with a good range of nibbles- nice! Part of Stamford Plaza on street level. After shopping or shows its a nice stop for a refresher or maybe feeling like a lighter dinner option rather than the full dine out thing. The dim Sims in rice paper was very tasty.

Great place for a quiet beer or vine to relax.Attentive and friendly serviceWill be back.We loved the happy hour.
