The Woodhouse Restaurant

An excellent selection of local and Victorian food and beverages, including a great selection of local craft beers. The steak was cooked to perfection, full of flavour and expertly prepared. Service was fantastic and their dessert tasting menu looked beautiful and was full of interesting mixtures of textures and flavours.

The mood in the restaurant was relaxed, but still quiet enough to have a conversation.

I highly recommend trying their steaks, but you will probably need to pre-book a week or so in advance if you want an early evening setting. We are definitely going back.

always a great pleasure to dine at this goumet temple, nice service excellent food, good wine selection and all this at a fair value price.

Beautiful as always , my favourite restaurant in Bendigo

From the warm and professional welcoming to the outstanding food and wine we were treated to a wonderful and memorable experience. Well done and thank you.

Best steak, cooked perfectly. Excellent service. Made our 25th wedding anniversary a memorable occasion.

Had one of the most amazing steaks, cooked to perfection and sides were delicious. Staff well presented and overall dining experience was on point. Thank you. Will definitely be back!

This was a fantastic meal, great service and amazing beef.

It is a regular for us we are lucky to have this restaurant in our neighbourhood

Excellent table service. Waiter had a great knowledge of beer and my husband tried a "couple" of his suggestions and really enjoyed it. Well presented meal and well cooked. Probably would have like a better choice of food for myself, not a big meat eater. Overall we had a lovely date night and will be going again.

The service was exceptional. The waiting staff had a great understanding of the menu and they listened. The food was exactly as described and the portions were ideal. Excellently set out space.

On booking I mentioned that we were coming for dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It would have been a nice touch if our celebration had been acknowledged. A simple 'Happy Anniversary' would have been sufficient.

Service was amazing, very attentive to my specific needs. Atmosphere was great as always. Food was delicious and awesome value. However, my cut of the Inglewood Porterhouse steak wasn’t so tender - no fault of The Woodhouse. Overall, an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. Loved it!

The food was very good and demonstrated a thorough knowledge of how to prepare a full dinner and cognisance of how tastes can be combined to produce something bigger than the sum of their parts. The entree (stuffed zucchini flowers and pickled zucchini) was excellent - balanced, a good size (not an artistic smear on the white plates) and yet not too large to intrude on the following main course. My portobello mushroom & taleggio pizza was somewhat oily, and would have benefited from a more intrusive signature from the truffle oil, but was decidedly acceptable all the same. The desserts were outstanding (& this comment from someone who's usually happy to skip dessert) and the selection platter is recommended. The selection for the cheese platter was uninspiring (but we have a lot to learn of our often excellent cheeses in this country). The wine list was dominated by a very good range of quality local wines. In all, a thoroughly enjoyable evening, in a good location. I'd be very happy to eat at the Woodhouse again (altho at a different table, as this vegetarian was confronted with a huge wall mural extolling all the possible cuts of beef from an animal ...).

Steak is amazing and love the different sides available, only place to ever have a steak. Dessert tasting plate is delicious. My husband and I had a wonderful evening, can’t wait to go back.

I wouldn't go as we couldn't afford the price that you are asking.
We had a voucher given to us, so we thought we will try it.
I guess we are just meat and 4 vegies.
The waiter was just fantastic, anyone would silly to let him go, he knows his food and drinks.
Very pleasant evening.

The Woodhouse has a way of doing things perfectly every time ,our night was sensational as has every dining experience we have had there!😂

My partner and I came here to celebrate his birthday. As passionate foodies, we were blown away by the exceptional food, sharing the lamb shoulder with sides, and the dessert platter. Our only gripe was the room we were seated was very hot, almost uncomfortable, and the noise level in there rendered us to almost have to yell to have a conversation. The wait staff were excellent, extremely attentive without being overbearing and knowledgeable and confident about the menu. We will return.

Fantastic restaurant in Bendigo. We had lunch there and it was 3 courses for $50 which is fantastic value. The service was brilliant and they were very accomodating for my 2 year old niece. Really enjoyed the food and experience, would definitely go back.

Venue and meal was excellent- can’t wait to come back again

The food at The Woodhouse is consistently very good. Modern Australian cuisine I guess, but great quality, and very well prepared and presented. the service is attentive but discreet, and I never have to crane my neck looking for someone to come to the table. The open fireplaces and the wood fired oven give a cosy ambience, (although it is cool and shady on a hot day). While the prices reflect the quality of the food and wine, there are menu specials, and inexpensive servings as well. This is one of the handful of top restaurants in Bendigo.

I took my sister here for a special birthday lunch and the food was so fabulous! They were also so thoughtful by putting a candle in her dessert. Highly recommend

Great lunch with friends. Definitely go back again.

Food and service was fabulous. Perfect for our group to celebrate as there’s something for everyone. Cocktails 👌🏻👌🏻

I sent you an email. Thanks again for a wonderful time. (Michael McNeill)

Loved our evening at WOODHOUSE Bendigo. Waiting really attentive without being "in your face". Food was fabulous and solid beer and wine list.

Amazing, friendly, knowledgeable & delicious. The Woodhouse never disappoints.

Enjoyed the overall experience at the Woodhouse, the lunchtime deal for 2 courses was a good, thought the baby chicken dish tasted great but was very small, the molten cake desert was great!

The experience at The Woodhouse is nothing short of spectacular, the best food in town and staff who know the real meaning of service, definitely a five star restaurant in my eyes.

Fantastic service and great menu options. We follow a Ketogenic diet which can make eating out difficult yet were able to pick suitable dishes from your menu.
Thank you for a wonderful lunch! We will be back.

Great meal especially if you’re a meat lover.
Cooked the way you want, and exceptional help from the wait staff on what to select and drink.

Food and service was incredible as always, worth coming here for one of the best steaks you will ever have

The seating was hard after short period, for older person.

Staggeringly delicious food delivered with personable and informative service. Pricey but well worth the cost, a great treat for a special occasion.

Venue was lovely - staff were very welcoming and attentive - meals was exceptional- certainly can’t wait to come back for date night again. Cheers

WOW, what an amazing meal. We were a group of four and two of us shared the lamb shoulder. It came whole and the waitress pulled it apart with a spoon and fork. It was absolutely delicious, its was served with potatoes and greens. We also shared a side of cauliflower, roasted pumpkin and mac and cheese. Everything was cooked to perfection. Both couples shared a dessert tasting plate which was fantastic, a great way to pick your favourites which is all of them.

Always a pleasure to come here. Bendigo’s best diamond for sure!

The Wood house is ever reliable and always offers a special dining experience. The food is delicious, the service attentive without being over bearing and there is always something of interest on the wine list.

Attentive service, timely serving of courses, wonderful steaks and desserts.

The menu can be a bit expensive, but if you go for lunch and do the express lunch it is great value for money and makes picking your meal a bit easier. The staff are very helpful and friendly without being in your face like some staff at certain restaurants are. Most definitely will be going again.

I had out-of-town guests and needed to impress them. Ideal place to do this; they were raving about it. Perfect.
