Restaurants with Function Rooms in Melbourne

Restaurants with function rooms in Melbourne come in all shapes and sizes so there are a few things that you should consider while searching:

• Pricing structure – Many restaurants with function rooms are happy to charge per person, but many others charge a flat hiring fee even if your number of guests are well below the capacity of the room. Always check whether you will need to rent the whole space or can get away with booking just what you need.
• Hours – Restaurants in Melbourne are open for a wide variety of hours, with some venues closing relatively early compared to their next-door neighbours. Double check that the restaurant you’re booking is open late if necessary!
