    The Woodhouse Restaurant is an unexpectedly delightful find a few streets back off the main drag in Bendigo, a very real diamond in the rough, you might say. At 5.30pm on a Saturday it was already filling up and it soon became apparent to us both why. It’s great! The ambience is kinda New York speakeasy meets Paris sophisticate, dark tones, simple decor, unobtrusive but attentive staff. Vegans beware! This is a carnivore’s paradise. Aged slabs of Wagyu are on view in the entry and lobby and the smells are divine (and positively appetising). The menus are fairly simple with dishes described in simple and understandable terms. Prices are somewhat “big city” but well worth the experience. Despite the emphasis on beefsteak, I was tempted by the lamb shoulder, the pork cutlet and the blue-eye. We may have to visit again - several times maybe - to explore the menu in full. The drinks menu was also quite extensive with a good selection of local varietals. We settled on the Occams Shiraz from Heathcote, a very nice drop. We also settled on the steak; 200g O’Connor fillet for madame, 300g O’C porterhouse for me, both medium rare. Both were perfectly and expertly cooked and arrived moments after we finished our scallops it seemed. Desserts were equally delightful and I finished with a latte as I was driving. A special shout-out to Jasmine who guided us through the menus, explained some of the finer details and generally kept a watchful eye on us throughout our stay. She was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable.

    We had the degustation menu with paired wines. Wagu beef 9 marbling, best steak we've ever had. Great service and the wine was expertly paired.

    Amazing venue and fabulous food. Beautiful and intimate setting. Steaks were mouthwatering and all the starters were to die for. I’d definitely go back again and again.

    We love the Woodhouse. Everything we have ever ordered has been delicious 😋. Fantastic staff with great knowledge of what is being offered. This time was no exception. We had a friend from the Gold Coast who couldn't believe how wonderful the meal was . Definitely can't wait to return.
