Book NowAbout The Leveson
A North Melbourne staple for hefty parmas, icy pints, and relaxed gatherings under a retractable courtyard roof. Regulars drop in for the Tuesday parma ritual—thick, crisp chicken laden with melted cheese over an avalanche of chips. The kitchen turns out pub classics with care, from winter sausages over silky mash and onion gravy to Wednesday steak specials with peppercorn sauce. Screens run the footy in the background without drowning out conversation, and late plates keep coming past 8:30pm. The meal closes nicely on warm ricotta donuts or sticky date pudding with ginger caramel sauce.
- Classic Chicken Parma: Hefty portions served with crisp fries, celebrated on dedicated Tuesday promotional nights.
- Covered Courtyard: All-weather rear event space featuring a retractable roof and dedicated bar service.
- Late Kitchen Service: One of the neighborhood spots keeping dinner orders rolling well past 8:30pm.
