This is the best! They make the best pasta and pizza for such a great price! My friend and I got here with luggage and we were welcomed into the cafe easily by the male barista he was lovely! The pasta is tooooo die for Great stuff !!!!!! Will come here again read more

Very disappointed today... purchased a $16 meal on menu plus a coffee and was charged $30 The cashier said the "wrong price was on the menu". Seriously?? And then a 15% surcharge on Sunday. They didn't bring cutlery or butter for the toast. The meal came out in 2 min so likely wasn't fresh. Won't be coming back. read more

Groovy cafe with a great menu & nice staff. Veg & glutard friendly. My saganaki, potato, rosemary & sea salt pizza was a little light on the rosemary & sea salt but the potato was magnificently thin and crispy, as was the crust... and at $8.90 the price was just as nice! My boss had a prawn spaghetti that was baked in a parcel of baking paper #WHAAAAAAT? i dig it. read more

Banff - Warm cosy cafe - Pizza Near Me - St Kilda, VIC

I love this place. Super chill staff and environment. It's half self service (order at counter and if you want condiments etc grab it yourself) but it's such a chill vibe and woudn't want it any other way. Great pizzas, salads and breakfasts. Cheap prices too, especially during happy hours. Been here a couple times and both times had a really cool experience. You can hang out, grab some cards, play, order food, chat to friends. Reminds me of a lot of locale bars I used to frequent in NYC. read more

Doesn't look like much when you walk past but once you explore the auras within the lovely dimmed jazzy little restaurant. You're immersed in the culture... The locals very nice the food don't get me started.. I came in with one of my good buddies and look we ordered what we wanted every order was wrong!! BUT! What we got was arguably better... which we were surprised about! Only bad thing was that my bud is vego and the thing that came that wasn't we sadly didn't get to try but I assume it was also delicious, there's jugs of free water by the door when you walk in. I wanted to ask if the water was filtered but got too nervous, I think it was though, crisp. The outside dining is beautiful, but keep a close eye on any cigarettes you're trying to hang on to, as the pesky outside locals sometimes are quicker then you'd think. Over all just an exhilarating experience, and one I'd highly recommend read more

Banff - The food we finished - Pizza Near Me - St Kilda, VIC

This had to be one of the best small joints with Happy Hour that I was able to visit on my trip. Pizza and beer were $7 and $3.50 respectively, which was a steal for how tasty everything was. I had the Paper Bag Carbonara and Morrocan Spiced Lamb Pizza which were killer delicious. My only regret was that I didn't have enough room I to try the Saganaki pizza. Mondays and Tuesdays offer the longest periods for Happy Hour which is an insane value. If I had lived in the area this might be one of the kick it spots. read more

Great find in St Kilda close to where we were staying. Had breakfast here a couple of days and enjoyed. With seating in and outside and an open fire inside added a great touch. It is reasonably small and both days we were lucky enough to get a seat but it was busy. The coffee here was amazing!! The breakfast was good too and a reasonable range and a good price. We had zucchini fritters which were yum! The staff were very friendly and happy. There were plenty of staff too so service was quick and smooth. read more

Good coffee. Funky hip place. Good outdoor seating in sun. Limited light food options for morning tea but will return to try 3-6pm happy hour and $6 pizza read more

The Banff is one of my favourite places to go any day of the week for a good catch up with friends. Weather it be a Sunday breakfast of freshly baked banana bread and a glass of one of the best soy latte's around, or for after work drinks to enjoy the happy hour specials with a $2 beer and a tasty pizza. The Banff is lovely and warm inside there is an open fire place to keep you toasty during the colder months and outdoor seating so you can get your dose of vitamin D during Summer. Happy hour at the Banff cannot be beaten, they offer $2 pots, $8 jugs and $3 glasses of wine everyday between 3pm and 6pm, you will often find the cosy little cafe full to the brim with joyous customers drinking and chatting during the late afternoon. The pizza's at Banff are terrific but my favourite meal is the homemade pasta dishes, my favourite is the Spaghetti with roasted garlic prawns, peas & mint, they serve the pasta wrapped up in paper almost like fish and chips giving it a really authentic and homemade feel. The prices at Banff are great with most of their dishes under about $10 it really is a fantastic food and drink option in St Kidla. read more

This place is an order at the bar type restaurant. They have a great happy hour! Their gluten free pizza crust was good but their pizza was pretty small (for $12 a pizza a good deal still!) They had a little fire place so if you want to cozy up and hang out here for a couple ciders it's a good place to do that. read more

I came here for breakfast and it was great. But tonight I came for dinner. When I went up to order two waitresses were talking behind the counter. The first looked up and started to pay attention the 2nd looked at us and ignore us while continuing to talk for another minute or so. My partner and I stood very uncomfortably and waiting for them to stop. Then the very cheap food came out. And you do get what you pay for. It wasn't great. Once the rude waitress came back to collect the food she asked how it was. When we told her it wasn't great she simply replied 'great' and walked away. I'm left feeling unsatisfied and very annoyed. This will stop me from ever coming back and I will now be writing a formal complaint to the restaurant read more

Delicious food, friendly staff, Sunday acoustic session. Great little place for a catch up with the girls. Perfect for winter dinners - it even has a fire in the fireplace. Super cosy! read more

You know when you wander around and get a bit lost and then get hungry and thirsty on a nice sunny day? I did that on one of those beautiful sunny days that never end, and found myself on Fitzroy Street next to Albert Park. There's not much over there that I've ever been to. Closer to the beach a few options, and once you get to St Kilda Road it becomes car-tropolis. Smack between the two there's a little place that I like to call heaven, but others insist have a name: Banff. Simply the best happy hour I've been to, and possibly the only one I've seen in this area. From 3-6pm you may fight for a table out front (it gets almost all-day sunshine) but it is SO worth it. $2 pots, $8 jugs and $3 wines. And if you order before 5:30 you can get a personal pizza for only $5.5!!! My favorite is the long bench style table nearest the building. You can meet fun new people (some of my friendships originated there) and love the arvo sun! read more

I have yet to encounter breakfast here, but this place is great on a Sunday afternoon, for some awesome tastariffic pizza's, and an easy laid back session, with some quality alcoholic based beverages. It is seemingly always busy, and is kind of a game to watch the frenetic pace of comings and goings pan out over the course of one's stay. Unfortunately i have not visited enough, and shall need to come back via various incarnations, whether it be breakfast, lunch, a week day afternoon or late into the depths and darkness of night. Nothing so far to complain about. read more

I'm definitely in love with their food. I've been there twice now and have been quite impressed. The coffees are great and the brownies are to die for! Just recently had a Focaccia and it was delicious. The staff there are very friendly and helpful, definitely would recommend stopping by! Note to parents: They do have colouring books and pencils for kids :) read more

Great local hangout spot all day long. Great deals at most hours of the day! There's always the delicious breakfasts, and don't forget to order a large coffee, because those mugs are massive =) I like the baked dishes. They're always indulgent. Pizzas during the week are generally around the $5.50 mark, and you can get it takeaway as well. The toppings are delicious and varied. The crust is nice and thin. The pasta is cooked in a little bag, although sometimes a little dry. it's very very casual, and the staff are generally in a good mood. Can be confusing. You can order at the bar, and take a number, or sometimes if they're not as busy will provide table service. read more

Sooo I have no idea why we were all the way down in St. Kilda, but I think there was some kind of street fair or festival. Anyway, on a map it looks far away, but it's actually really easy to grab a tram from Flinders St. Station, and it's always fun to check out a new part of town. Once you get down here, it's great. Delicious food, great pizza, and reasonably priced beers (especially during happy hour). This was definitely the cheapest meal I had probably during my entire trip to Sydney/Melbourne/Cairns, so if you're traveling on a budget, be sure to make the trip! Food: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 read more

Cute little restaurant on the St Kilda Road side of Fitzroy Street. Bike rack right out front and it's a bit hard to see a sign. Look for the striped awning. They have great pizzas and pizza deals. It can get very packed on the weekends. I had the bruschetta brekkie. Very nicely done with three, big portabello mushrooms with half a sliced avocado, full grilled tomato all stacked on two slices of sour dough bread with rocket on the side. Yum! read more

Disappointed.. Ordered pizza and nachos for take out while staying in a hotel down the road.. Worst excuse for nachos I've ever seen. Over cooked, dry, cheese was hardened like plastic and the guacamole was disgusting. Pizza was small and over priced. Skip this place. read more

Banff - Hideous - Pizza Near Me - St Kilda, VIC

I love the decor of this restaurant. With plenty of dark wood, a fireplace, and a stack of log cut wood by the fire, it definitely feels like a rustic, homey place, perfect for enjoying a bottle of red! The menu is Italian with hearty pastas and homemade pizzas with plenty of fresh ingredients. Interestingly, the pizzas are only offered in one size, what I would call an individual portion. My guest and I shared two different pizzas and it was perfect.We had the Saganaki and rosemary potatoes pizza, and the bacon and egg with roasted tomatoes pizza. Both were delicious! We also just happened to hit their happy hour - $2 pots, $8 jugs and $3 glasses of house wine. The dinner menu was cheap anyway, but you can never go wrong with a happy hour too! The Banff has been around in St Kilda for almost 70 years ( According to their menu) .That tells me they must be doing something right. I am yet to try their breakfast, but something tells me its worth trying. read more

The Banff has become our go-to spot for a quick (and cheap!) takeaway pizza. Pizzas are normally $9-11 a piece and there are some interesting options. My first pie here was squid, chilli, lemon, and rocket. It was excellent--the squid was tender and the ingredients covered the ground between the tangy lemon, the spicy chili, the sweet and briny squid, the bitter rocket, and savory mozzarella. The crust doesn't have the chewiness of a good neapolitan style pizza, but is a decent delivery system for the rest of the ingredients. My second pizza was the Korean barbecue, with (somewhat scant) delicious beef, sweet carmelized onions, mozzarella, and kewpie mayonnaise. It sounds a big strange, but was actually quite interesting and balanced. I haven't visited for happy hour yet, but it seems to be an excellent value with cheaper jugs than the pints at most places. Beer selection is limited to one tap beer and one cider, so if you're looking for a wide-ranging selection this probably isn't the place. There are some standard-issue bottles (Peroni, Asahi, etc) as well. In short, this goes beyond cheap backpacker food--it's a solid neighborhood place that provides good value for your money. read more

On sunny St Kilda days, The Banff is a perfect place to stop and have a wine and a pizza on the footpath, while taking in the neighbourhood. Much like its Canadian namesake, you are surrounded by wood. Many tables scattered inside will seat groups large (up to around 12) or small. Then there's that outside option, with curb-side seating available. Located on Fitzroy St, many might first be though to stay clear - Fitzroy St is starting to get rundown, with a few stores closing. The Banff and a number of its neighbours have stayed though, and thrived. And, they're worth it! Happy hour runs from 3-6pm, in one of the longest hours you've ever had... and accompanied by a pizza, you will be set. They also do breakfast, and make a great stop on the weekends or even just to grab a latte on the way to work. Stop in, say hi. The staff are warm and friendly. Highly recommended! read more

At no other restaurant in Melbourne have I ever felt more satiated and relaxed than at Banff. In fact, this is truly the one place that I keep coming back to time and time again. Sitting beside the crackling fire place with an unmarked bottle of red, you really do feel as if you've transported to a log cabin high in the Canadian rockies. The atmosphere is endearingly cosy and the food is good italian home-style fare, with an impressive list of pizzas and pastas. At $5.50 during the day the pizzas are super cheap and while there is the occasional complaint that they are a little on the small side, they are still pretty filling. There are also a number of options for gluten free diners, which is a really considerate touch.The desert calzones are heavenly, a super indulgent mix of pastry, mascarpone and chocolate. This is a no fuss restaurant. You collect your own cutlery, the wine is simply classified by grape and you order at the bar. A refreshing addition to the somewhat trashy Fitzroy Street (you'll find Banff right next to the Danish Blue Adult Centre...) this place is an absolute favourite. read more

I have only been to The Banff once but I was instantly drawn in by it's name- my boyfriend and I spent four idyllic months living in it's namesake Canadian village. Sure enough, the decor pays homage to Banff, with posters and maps bringing back some happy memories for me. And then there's the food. I had a gourmet pizza, which set me back, oh, about $5. GREAT value for money. The menu is extensive too and the coffee- EXCELLENT. The Banff has a really relaxed, cosy feel about it and is very friendly for those nursing a laptop and trying to launch their freelance writing career. read more

A great gluten free pizza was consumed. The staff were friendly and the food came fast. However, with having to lineup and pay each time you want to order more, I left it at that, ie no table service. read more

Open air dining in good weather. A little cramped if they can't open the doors. I love a place that has innovative salads as a change from the standard lettuce, tomato and onion. So combine one of the salads with a pizza with scarce toppings and you have yourself a great meal. Yes, I mean empty the salad out of its bowl on top of your pizza then attached with knife and fork or fingers as desired. A healthy feed for a moderate budget. read more

This place is named after a mountaintop town in my Home and Native Land so I had to try it. I like. It's popular with the backpacker set because of the affordable prices ($9 for a pizza!) but unlike a lot of the places they tend to frequent, it's actually, well, good. While the food isn't going to blow your mind or anything, it's decent, solid food. Service is no frills (pick up your own cutlery and water) but whatever - I'm getting used to that now. Definitely on the regular list. read more

Service was slow but the food came out quick. Coffee was good. We had 5 meals. All was reasonable avo smash with feta. Poached eggs with sides...nothing outstanding or extra special but solid. read more

Banff is great, great staff, great location, great food and great deals. Happy hour every day 3-5 meaning 5 dollar pizzas and very cheap drinks. A big variety of pizza's suiting both vegetarian and meat eaters. A funky venue and a relaxed atmosphere. I come here at least once a week to catch up with friends and will continue to do so. read more

Thank you Yelpers for suggest Banff. It was fantastic. It has a casual, very relaxing atmosphere but with charm and good taste. The food was fresh and delicious. I had a veggie pizza, delicious, with a rocket salad. Red wine by the tumbler glass was typical of this delicious and unpretentious restaurant. read more

Sweet as bro! You'll think you just stepped out of 10 feet of fresh powder. Great atmosphere, great food, great prices and great service.

The Banff is what you would expect of an expensive trendy Melbourne restaurant at first glance but if you look a little deeper you will in fact find that you have stumbled across and incredibly cheap, good quality, trendy Melbourne restaurant. The pizza here is really good and cheaper than you thought was possible. The pasta is placed in the pizza oven and served in paper which is quite unique and a pleasant surprise when it reaches the table. Although they do bring the food to your table you do have to go inside to order, this might be their way of getting you closer to the fridge so you see the beer and get tempted to buy one. read more

Quite a small venue without any wait service. You have to get your own cutlery and order at the bar. This would be ok if the food was extraordinary. Unfortunately the wine was served in small glasses, pizza was quite dense and flat and the pasta was quite tasteless. Not a foodie heaven but a ok place to start off a night. read more

I've loved The Banff in the past for a good hangover brunch, but today's visit was a but disappointing. Lacklustre although quick service, and a meal that wasn't quite what the menu stated, and lacking in flavour. Still a nice joint, but definitely wasn't at its finest this morning. read more

One of my favourite cafés! Whether it's for the smashed avocado or the big breakfast in the morning after too many red wines (like last Saturday morning - went for the Big Breakfast) or the night time drinks and pizza specials - always great service and loving the fact that they have brought back table service - a great place to relax and watch the world go by ;) read more

Amazing pizzas, great staff, cool vibe, a nice place for after work drinks and a bite to eat
