Mietta's Review
The Metropolitan is next door to what was the Meat Market Craft Centre. It has a nice front bar with leadlight windows. The charming, Victorian hotel dining room has gone upmarket. New owner/chef Craig McVean has put on a classic gastro-pub menu at very attractive prices. A welcome addition to the gastronomy of this slightly cut off section of North Melbourne.

Herald Sun 21/12/04 Stephen Downes score 14/20 " Judging by some of the fine, subtle cooking I tasted at the Metropolitan a week or so after it reopened, I believe it can only improve. The wine list is limited, but offers a comprehensive range of drops at good prices. Three whites and four reds are available by the glass."
