Jimmy Watson's Restaurant

Superb location, wonderful staff, excellent service. Good collection of food and drinks. Food arrived quickly, large portion and delicious. Heaps of car park nearby the restaurant, it is free to park there, just be mindful of the timings. Usually after 6.30pm it is free to park. We had our dinner with friends on the Freedom day after lockdown. Spent close to 4 hrs. Highly recommend it.

A rustic setting filled with incredible memorabilia. The food is exquisite and the wine selection is world class. The staff are friendly and make the whole experience a delight.

What a fantastic establishment. This family owned business could train how to welcome and serve up the best service..welcomed at the door seated.. given advice on wines we had chosen...we ordered our entrees which came out allowing for a little time for our group to settle in...then a break perfectly timed for our mains. Food was great... hot and tasty..we thoughly enjoyed our day which ended in the cocktail bar..highly recommended this place

It was a late lunch and the guys at Jimmy Watson's made no fuss to keep the kitchen open and running. Smiles and recommendations on cocktails, wine and beer. Very tasty food selections and it was a great atmosphere to enjoy ourselves in and while there was a good crowd, it wasn't noisy and conversation was able to be had and heard. Was good before and still is now!

Great way to enjoy Lygon Street; time spent at Readings followed by the mandatory visit to Jimmy Watson's for nibbles and wine. Mmmmm. This is the view from our outdoor table.

Fabulous venue, food perfect, house wine was delish, service outstandingthanks Nick . Vegetarian options: Good selection to choose from

Grand Old Institution. Old school institution menu; high price and ordinary taste, complemented by their fantastic wine list. 4/10 $30.00 Roast Lamb tough, inconsistent serving and bland gravy served in beautiful rustic first floor room, 8/10 wine by the glass around $11.00, great collection.

Institution of a wine bar on Lygon Street with a long history of great wine, food, atmosphere and service. Enjoyed the antipasto, osso bucco and creme brûlée with muscat. On the pricier end of the market but a nice special occasion place

Fantastic food and a big shout out to Joe. He made our evening with his service and humour. Staff like Joe are gold and make the dining experience so enjoyable. We will definitely be back.

The most reliable, wonderful and friendly service I have ever had. The staff checked on us throughout the night with amazing consistency, and were friendly and warm. We chatted to them lots and they made the night wonderful. The food was also really tasty!
