Welcome to The Gilroy, Bar & Eatery, your neighbourhood haven in the heart of Port Melbourne. Everything we do begins with connection to our people, our produce and our community.
At our heart, we’re about relationships. From the farmers, fishermen, and producers we know by name, to the guests we welcome through our doors each day. The Gilroy is built on trust, care and shared passion.
Our menu is a heartfelt celebration of the seasons and the incredible produce our beautiful country offers. From the freshest seafood to sustainable meats all sourced locally, every dish is thoughtfully prepared to honour the ingredients and to bring joy to your table.
Our menu is curated by our incredible kitchen team, by what’s in season and at its absolute best. It’s always fresh, full of flavour but with a little extra magic.
The Gilroy is our love letter to food, wine, and the simple pleasure of sharing a meal. It’s where quality meets comfort and every detail from your first sip to your last bite is crafted with passion.
Step into our space and you’ll feel the warmth, the easy elegance, the kind of welcome that makes you want to settle in. Once settled you will see our menu has the romance of French cuisine and the soulful flavours of Italy, all served with genuine hospitality in a setting that’s as relaxed as it is refined.
Whether it’s a spontaneous weeknight dinner, a long-overdue catch-up, or a special celebration, The Gilroy is your place. We’re here to make every visit full of joyful memories and those moments you’ll want to return to again and again.
Come as you are. Stay a while. And let us take care of the rest.
