With a focus on Victorian food and beverage, we take our guests on an exciting culinary journey. From the simplicity of a slice of locally made passionfruit sponge, through to the intricate plating of our 6 or 8 course degustation menus ($110/$140), we have a deliberate commitment to champion the artisans, farmers, makers and growers of our produce, our wines, beers and spirits.

Our Executive chef Jigs Liwanag brings his global experience, and an innate love for beautiful, honest, contemporary food to the plate. An extensive list of artisan, craft and small batch beverage compliments menus in both the restaurant, bar and cafe.

Just a 300m stroll from the iconic Lake Wendouree, we offer a place to lay your head in our tastefully decorated suites, dining and drinking areas. Award Winning Hotel Canberra is continually evolving into a stunning modern regional hotel, and all within 80 minutes of Melbourne's CBD and not much more than an hour from Tullamarine airport

    It felt a bit like an MKR experience- good intentions that lack the discipline of an experienced chef.

    Great breakfast. Some different interesting dishes which is great if you are sick of boring old bacon and eggs like me. One of the best breakfasts I’ve had in Ballarat so I’m surprised the place wasn’t packed!!!
