Melba at The Langham - Southbank

We stayed at the Hotel and had free breakfast as part of our booking, but we only went for breakfast once and are regretting not going more often. We loved the available range of food. The fruit juicers were the best, though I think I...need more practice putting enough fruit and veggies in. The mini-croissants were a perfect size and once of the best we had in Melbourne. I also had two poached eggs and I added about the same amount of delicious hollandaise sauce to the horror of all onlookers. Best hollandaise with poached eggs ever! I also had one of those tiny and enjoyable glasses of bircher muesli to offset the hollandaise eggs. My wife had fruit. The sizes of food portions were smallish which is great, because you could try a lot of different things.

After a 3-year break because of Covid-19 it was great to be back in the langham and celebrate the melbourne cup with friends. eating was sensational, with the usual wide choice of seafood to roast, Indian cuisine and so much more, not to the sinful dessert selection. this year the TV screens remained until after the conclusion of all races, an improvement at our last visit. our only disappointment was that the venue was not as full as usual and therefore lacked a little atmosphere. this could be due to the requirement to pay in full in booking with a no refund policy this year. hopefully this is reviewed and next year a whole house can enjoy this wonderful opportunity.

Everyone needs to do the buffet breakfast! Great value for the familyLots of healthy options and food prepared while you wait.

You pay for the environment and to a degree the service..

Felt in a grazing mood so headed into Southbank for the buffet lunch at the lovely Langham's Melba Restaurant.
