Plus 5

"The outdoor seating area is an excellent place to enjoy a beautiful Melbourne day. Food and drinks are reasonably priced and service is fast too!"

"We stopped in here without a reservation on Friday night of 21 April 23 for a birthday meal with four. The place was packed and we were greeted by Christian who took our number letting us know that a couple of tables were done and he’d call us within 20mins. We walked for about 5 mins when we received a call letting us know our table was ready. On return we were greeted again by Christian and taken to our outside river view table. Ordering by the QR we ordered some drinks inclusive of a tasty (one of the best I’ve had) Bloody Mary mock tail. We ordered the entree calamari, arancini balls, chicken sliders and for main a pepperoni and cappricosa pizza for the main. All were tasty and filling, with the pizzas fresh and really flavourful. With the view of the river, the excellent service and great quality food, plus 5 is a great place for cocktails, food and the view. Shout out to Christian for excellent service and accommodating us when they were so busy!"

"Foolishly overlooked this place for two entire years but once we tried it, we have literally gone nowhere else since. Plus 5 is a comfortable, consistent waterside bar with a very relaxed atmosphere. It’s a reliable option no matter the weather; if it’s raining or windy they’ll just put the covers up and you stay cozy and dry while still feeling like you’re outside and with a view of the river. Plenty of heater coverage for the winter time too. Music is chill and background level. The staff are kind and lovely and service is always fast. They started to recognise us way too fast haha. You can order by QR code or at the bar, whatever you prefer. On to the menus. Both the food and drink menus are extensive, and apparently not in the way that everything is average. Lots and lots of interesting and tasty cocktails with regular specials. Everything we’ve ever eaten there has exceeded expectations and is always perfectly cooked. The best thing by a mile is the buffalo cauliflower which makes it a great place if you want vegetarian or vegan options (of which there are a lot, including a delicious bruschetta pizza). They do a good chip too - obviously very important. Last but not least, they do a generous Happy Hour with $10 Espresso Martinis (some of the best in town, the coffee is rich and almost chocolately), as well as a variety of other half price or discounted cocktails/sprtizes. Runs from 3pm - 6pm Wednesday through Friday. Their cocktail jugs are also great value if you’re there on the weekend (around $36 which is almost $20 cheaper than some nearby venues). Highly, highly recommend this place."

"Great location. Sitting outside with nice city view. Its nice to have some drink and snack before the event. Staff are friendly and welcoming, foods are great value for money ."

"Nice chill place to grab a relaxed lunch. For a late small lunch we got the Chefs Selection Tapas and a serve of the Agnello pizza. Pizza was great, but the good surprise was the selection, which on our day came with Aranchini, Meatballs, Calamari, Rocket Salad and the Smokey Chipotle Wings (we think). Whilst it says for two, it more than enough for the four of us to snack on as a light lunch. And funnily enough most of the items came in 4's. Staff were friendly, but unfortunately there was a bit of a wait for our order. Being expo centre adjacent, just we wary of convention goers booking the place out!"
