Correction (2 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten, and every place below was checked against its own current information.
It is late. You want food. Most of the late listings we could confirm sit just over the border in Hawthorn, so this page runs in and around Kew.
Seven places list a closing time past 11pm: two in Kew, five in Hawthorn. Every time below is a listed time, and each entry says whose listing it is. Listings drift. Check the venue’s own page before you walk.
The 3am rule: none of the listings we read says whether a place takes cash or card, or how long the queue runs. Ask at the counter.

McDonald’s Hawthorn — 692 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
Open past 2am (listed): yes. The Glenferrie Traders Association directory lists every day as “Open 24 hours”, and OpenStreetMap’s hours tag points the same way. Maccas is the only place on this list with no closing time at all.
Hawthorn Grill and Kebab House — 347-349 Burwood Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
Listed hours (directory): Monday 4pm to 1am; Tuesday 11am to 3am; Wednesday 11am to 2am; Thursday 11am to 2:30am; Friday and Saturday 11am to 3am; Sunday 11am to 2am. Open past 2am (listed): yes, on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. OpenStreetMap tags it as burgers and kebabs, which is the late-night wrap and burger menu in one shop.
Amalfi Pizza & Pasta Hawthorn — 4/813 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
A takeaway pizzeria. Its own ordering page shows store hours of 11:30am to 2:45am for Monday and Tuesday, and its “Open Today” line read 11:30am - 03:45am when we captured it on 2 October. The Glenferrie directory lists 3:00am for Monday and Tuesday. The three figures don’t agree, so treat “after 2am” as the safe reading and ring ahead. Delivery is listed 6pm to 12am. Open past 2am (listed): yes. Monday deal: a large classic pizza for $14, “available every Monday only”.
Huxtaburger Hawthorn — 681 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
Listed hours (directory): 11:30am to 1am, every day. Open past 2am (listed): no. A burger place per OpenStreetMap’s cuisine tag, so late here means 1am.
Guzman y Gomez Hawthorn — Shop 1, 674-680 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn VIC 3122
Listed hours (directory): 7am to 1am, every day. Open past 2am (listed): no. Mexican fast food, with a listed day that starts at 7am.
McDonald’s Kew — 261-267 High Street, Kew VIC 3101
Listed hours (OpenStreetMap only): Monday to Wednesday 6:00 to 24:00; Thursday to Saturday 6:00 to 25:00, which in OpenStreetMap’s notation is 1am the next morning; Sunday 6:00 to 24:00. The chain’s site returned an error page on 2 October, so these hours come from OpenStreetMap volunteers, not from the venue. Open past 2am (listed): no. The Kew Junction directory lists it as dining and take away.
Subway Kew — 221 High Street, Kew VIC 3101
Listed hours (Kew Junction directory): Monday to Sunday 7:30am to midnight, and OpenStreetMap agrees. Open past 2am (listed): no. Past 11pm: yes, by an hour.

How we checked
On 2 October 2026 we confirmed each place at two independent sources: OpenStreetMap plus the Glenferrie Traders Association directory for the Hawthorn places, OpenStreetMap plus the Kew Junction Business Association directory for the two in Kew, and Amalfi’s own ordering page plus the Glenferrie directory for Amalfi. For Huxtaburger, Guzman y Gomez and a few others the OpenStreetMap entry carries only a name, so the street address rests on the directory. Hours are the directories’ listings, except Amalfi (its own ordering page, with the directory shown alongside) and McDonald’s Kew (OpenStreetMap only). Hours were not checked against a live trading day. No prices were taken from delivery apps, and we use no star ratings.
