Viet Table Malvern: Bringing Authentic Vietnamese Flavours to the Heart of Melbourne’s East

Nestled along the bustling Glenferrie Road in Malvern, Viet Table & Co offers a welcoming escape into the vibrant world of modern Vietnamese cuisine. As the second outpost of the popular Viet Table in Camberwell, this Malvern location elevates the experience with a more spacious, premium setting while staying true to the fresh, flavour-packed dishes that have won over locals in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs.

A Taste of Vietnam in Malvern

Opened as an expanded sister venue, Viet Table Malvern combines authentic Vietnamese traditions with contemporary Australian influences. The interior features warm, inviting decor with thoughtful trinkets and elements that evoke the bustling energy of Vietnamese eateries, creating an ambience perfect for casual lunches, family dinners, or date nights. With seating for around 70 guests, it feels more generous than many suburban spots, making it ideal for groups.

The menu draws from classic Vietnamese street food and home-style cooking, with standout dishes including slow-cooked short rib pho, vermicelli noodle salads, banh mi, beef stew, and roast pork belly. Diners rave about options like the Red Wine Beef Pho, praised for its light yet deeply flavoured broth, tender beef, and high-quality ingredients. Vegan and vegetarian choices abound, such as satay skewers, ensuring broad appeal. Breakfast offerings nod to Australian cafe culture with a Vietnamese twist, while the fully licensed bar serves creative cocktails like the Pho Cocktail alongside Vietnamese-inspired drinks.

 

Reviewers highlight the freshness, generous portions, and balanced flavours. One local described it as a “hidden gem” for authentic cuisine without the trek to traditional Vietnamese hubs like Footscray or Springvale. Service is friendly and efficient, with many noting the warm hospitality that makes repeat visits a must.

• Pho variations: From classic beef to innovative red wine-infused broths.
• Spring rolls and rice paper rolls: Crispy fried or fresh, served with vibrant dipping sauces.
