Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Two places. That’s the list.
Postmaster Hotel is at 186 High Street in Kew. Kati Thai Restaurant is at 66A Doncaster Road in Balwyn North. Neither has a Kew East address, so this is late food in and around the suburb.
Both have listed hours into the evening. Nothing we verified runs past midnight. The latest listed closing time is 11:30 PM, on Friday and Saturday at Postmaster. Those are opening hours from AGFG, an owner-maintained directory, not kitchen hours. Check the kitchen before you go.

AGFG lists Postmaster open 11:30 AM to 10:30 PM Monday to Thursday and Sunday. Friday and Saturday run 11:30 AM to 11:30 PM.
Those are opening hours. We hold no separate kitchen times, and AGFG may be out of date. The venue’s own site mentions “Friday night at our sports bar” and “afternoon cocktails in our beer garden”. AGFG tags it “Child Friendly”, “Takeaway” and “Alfresco Dining”.
The menu we copied is a PDF whose file name carries May 2026. We copied chips and two desserts from it.

Kati Thai Restaurant — 66A Doncaster Road, Balwyn North VIC 3104

AGFG tags it “Child Friendly”, “Takeaway” and “Alfresco Dining”. We could not read a priced menu.
