Let's Dine at Howard Smith Wharves
Tuck into meals from $25, complete with a riverside view, from Monday–Thursday at Howard Smith Wharves.
Overview
No one should spend their lunch break eating at their desk, but stopping that habit isn't always easy. From Monday, February 3–Thursday, April 3, 2025, the Howard Smith Wharves precinct is giving you plenty of motivation to step away from the computer. Head to the riverside spot from Monday–Thursday for a middle-of-the-day meal and your lunch costs will start at $25.
Seven HSW venues are getting in on the deal, with most serving up multiple options — so you can pick between several dishes at Felons Brewing Co, Felons Barrel Hall, Mr Percival's, Stanley, Greca, Yoko Dining and Ciao Papi. Or, you can work your way through them all (and stare at their slightly different views of the water) across two months. You'll just need to keep an eye on each eatery's opening hours — and, while you can just rock up, bookings are recommended.
As for what you'll be eating during the Let's Dine festivities, the specials are varied. Double smash burgers, baked fish and char-grilled eggplant parmigianas are on offer at Felons, while chicken and cashew stir fry, warm pork salad and noodles in beef curry broth are on the menu at the brewery's Barrel Hall — all for $25 each, and not just for lunch, with the deal running from 11am–late.
For dining over the water, Mr Percival's is doing grilled fish, pork cutlets and pumpkin lasagne for between $25–29 — and also from 11am–late.
If you're keen on Ciao Papi, you'll be eating a two-course menu for $49 from 12–3pm that includes a glass of wine or beer, plus a pick of dishes such as kingfish crudo and roast chicken. Stanley also has a two-dish spread for the same price from 12–4pm, but with selections including duck spring rolls and Beijing shredded beef. Opt for Greca or Yoko and you'll be paying $35 — for a souvlaki platter at the former from 12–3pm, with your choice of chicken, haloumi or seasonal vegetables; and for a bento box at the latter from 12–4pm, with a vegan option available.
