The Quarry Hotel

Lygon Street’s classic corner local has quietly hit its stride again, pairing vintage pub bones with genuinely generous feeds. Regulars head straight for the chicken parma—a monster cutlet layered with gooey cheese and rich napoli that dwarfs standard pub sizing. Come Tuesday, kitchen attention shifts to tender cuts served alongside crunchy chips and mushroom sauce for a steady steak night crowd. Between pours of cold tap beer, the roomy floor plan gives plenty of breathing room for groups to settle in around the footy screens.
