Great little cafe with a wonderful selection of gluten free mains and desserts and a good selection of wines and beers, perfect for our 25th wedding anniversary celebrations with our bridal party. Thanks

Enjoyed the evening at Trotters, just one comment, we'd booked & the table prepared for us was right in front of the coffee machine, so a bit noisy, However we were offered a window table when we arrived, if I'd realised would have accepted & changed. Otherwise all good.

Great food, efficient and friendly service. Food options are suited to sharing (pizza is great for this) or ordering the traditional one main per person. Service staff are attentive without hovering, and warm without being disingenuous.

they accommodated 10 of us upstairs with a few hours notice. Food and wine and service were all great. Highly recommended for pizza, gnocchi and probably everything else as well

Trotters is by far the most reliably excellent restaurant on the Lygon Street precinct. The menu is safe and reliable, neither experimental nor gastronomic. The service is usually first-rate. It is my go-to place to eat.

We went on a busy Saturday night and everything was exceptional. Our waitress Kimberly made wonderful suggestions to match food with the wine we brought. Being BYO is just an added bonus.

The food was really good...veal scallopino yummy, barimundi lovely, good hamburger & kangaroo salad. We are regulars (weekly / fortnightly) at Trotter's it was disappointing that the waitress kept asking us if we wanted the bill and seemed keen to move our table of 4 out after arrival at 6.30 - we left at 8 and had dessert & coffee nearby.

Have not been there in a while but service and food was decent. I would say slightly above average. Nothing too special but the downside is there is a surcharge for any form of cashless payment which is not great.

Trotters is a neighbourhood gem that serves good food at reasonable prices with friendly service too. Our group enjoyed pizza, fettucine, calamari, ravioli and risotto as well as kahlua creme brulee and sticky date pudding. It is great that they take bookings for large groups but we appreciate that we have always been fitted in when we visit as a couple.

I have been going to Trotters for many, many years. It is such a Lygon St icon, it is always a lovely experience with great food. The meal I enjoyed last night was one of the best dishes I have ever had anywhere. Tasty crispy skin salmon, cooked to perfection, with black rice and clams. It was so delicious. Trotters should be your on Lygon St favourites list.

Trotters is an extremely welcoming, friendly environment with scrumptious yummies that also cater for G/F peeps. Lovely staff. Great wines. A delicious experience was had every time I've been there. Highly recommend this casual yet salubrious eatery!

Food was tasty and a fair price. Atmosphere was perfect but our waitress just was not interested, we didn't receive our water jugs refilled, I had to ask more than once for an additional drink, we waited for a too long for her to take our order and wanted to order additional drinks and couldnt locate her. I probably wouldn't return based on this and the abundance of restaurants on Lygon St,
