About Vlado's

No one could be more certified as a meat specialist than Vlado Gregurek. In a time of varying menus, focus on seasonal cooking and spectacular growth in the Melbourne culinary scene, one man has stood his ground in a daily ritual since 1964, preparing, cooking and delivering one of the best meat menus. And not only for his loyal Melbournian patrons but for visitors from around the globe who've had word of 'the red meat specialist'.

It’s not only the life time experience with the best meat materials that let you know you'll be relishing an excellent meal, it's the ingredients - 'no salt, no pepper, no sauces just meat!'

The formula at Vlado's is simple and unchanging. The staffs are like family. It’s a serious business to them also and you'll be happy to get to know them over the years. The location has also been still since Vlado moved from his original Smith Street, Collingwood premises to the Bridge Road, Richmond location where it became a fully licensed restaurant. Don't expect lavish and modern here, but certainly tradition, a pristine and sparkling interior wallpapered with memories, awards and even a few special gifts from patrons who crossed the special line of friendship with this very passionate establishment. Lucky for them! You will feel special seated in any area of Vlado's restaurant: the main dining room downstairs with view of the grill or the smaller homely dining rooms. The service and flavour is the best for all guests in Vlado's house, everyone who's been, anyone who will return and all new diners will share the same outstanding experience.

And just to clarify, this is not a place just for the boys.
