North & Central Victoria Restaurants

We decided to treat ourselves with an evening meal at one of our favourite gastropubs last night - and as usual we weren’t disappointed! Promptly seated in a quieter section of the spacious dining area, the Specials observed and the modified menu perused, we decided on a shared plate of Duck Spring Rolls with Davidson Plum Sauce (and a tangy salad on the side - YUM), while I had the Tuna Sashimi Main Course, and hubby chose the Mediterranean Chicken Breast. Since both dishes had ample accompaniments, sides weren’t considered. Both dishes satisfied us, mine especially, both in taste and presentation - faultless! Our glasses of wine also matched comfortably - Pinot Gris for me, Clare Valley Riesling for him. Two very happy customers - thanks to an effective kitchen team led by a wonderful chef and an efficient and friendly front of house team. Watching all of them at work shows just how important they all are to successful operations like this- may it long continue.

Service was excellent and quick. Enjoyed environment. Good value for money. Will be visiting again.

Easy online booking process. Friendly front of house staff to greet us and show us to our table. Waitress Mackenzie, was very informative about the menu and guided us through some slight changes to suit us. The food was the best I've had.

My husband and I did the wine tasting, everything we tried was amazing and explained in detail. Staff were very helpful. We had lunch and the pizza was cooked perfectly. We stayed in the safari tent for the night that I highly recommend. Aircon, mini bar, kitchenette, double bed, bath and en-suite made it very comfortable. We also spotted kangaroos from the front of our tent. Breakfast was included. Staff gave us tips for places to see in Bendigo. Will definitely return.

Nice ambience in the bar area. Bit more relaxed and intimate. Great area if you want privacy. Steaks cooked to perfection, wine list extensive, excellent wait staff.
