Best places: Bistros in Victoria

👍👍 Really recommend The Recreation — we had a magnificent lunch there to celebrate another stage in our renovation. After a tough day cleaning and sanding and having some success, we were hungry. Thirsty, too! The meals did not disappoint. And what a dessert! Go to The Recreation — smart casual, a bit...

👍👍 Great lunch with amazing flavours with each dish. Fabulous service that was exceptionally fast in bringing out piping hot dishes that tasted fabulous. Would highly recommend stopping here for a meal. Will most definitely visit again.

Traditional meals & wines served in a simple space with old-world charm & a cosy courtyard.

👍👍 Lovely place, friendly owners, stylish interior, good music, and a delicious coffee! A place where you get inspiration and travel/escape out of daily routine.

Laid-back, family-run tavern with a smart bistro and a courtyard, plus live music and sports.

This old-school pub with a spacious deck & lake views offers bar food & live music on weekends.

👍👍 Booked for our anniversary and we had a great time ! We are already planning our next visit. The food, service and beverage selection at this venue is easily a 10/10.

👍👍 Staff were extremely accommodating despite us being 30 minutes late as we've travelled from Melbourne. Had the Sunday lunch set menu. Food was great and of good value. Will not hesitate to eat there again if I'm at Geelong!

👍👍 Great prices for a lot of food. Friendly quick service. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Burger was the best I've had in a long time!

👍👍 Wonderful place where you will get your moneys worth. Creative menu mixing some very unique flavours; honey roasted duck is an absolute winner. Comes with a unique cherry duck accompaniment. The cheesecake is also very good as other reviewers have said. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Definit...

Classic pub grub and regional wines in an old-timey pub with large windows and a garden terrace.

🫤 Firstly this was our favourite place to come for a Sunday drive and lunch Today we left with the words “we won’t be back “ Our young waitress was beautiful the older lady how ever was quite rude we waited a hr and 40 mins for our food adults all got their meals before the kids 12.30 booking and it...

👍 Quick coffee stop, which was really good. Keen to try the menu next time. Tried the menu 👍 Generous meals, Little mix up on the drinks ordered, but a decent location. Beer garden out back.

👍👍 I am delighted to leave a 5-star review for Bistro Voliere. As SIFA Events, we recently had the privilege of hosting an event for our clients at this charming venue. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. Bistro Voliere provided the perfect setting for our shared client's 50th Wedding Ann...

👍👍 This was a 5 star burger. Just the perfect pub burger and chips. Went down well with a pot of amber juice. Freekin delicious. I lay awake at night and wonder if I'll ever feel that way about a burger again. 🍔 at least we had that one brief but incredible time together. I'll never forget you unio...

👍👍 Love Mr Grubb. Visited a few years ago with a friend. Stayed at Oakdene accommodation this time and it made a weekend away on Bellarine Peninsula. Had lunch and dinner at Mr Grubb last Saturday. Enjoyed the pork belly for lunch and pumpkin and potato gnocchi for dinner. Bang bang chicken is awesome,...

👍👍 Bloody fantastic. Loved the cocktails and beers. Food was just the ticket (including the presence of Vegemite!) And let's not ignore the elephant in the room, the fantastic waterfall sculptured bar, which just sent me back home to the banks of the Plenty River.

👍👍 We had a function on Sunday and it was so fabulous. In the lead up to Sheron was so helpful in ensuring the day ran smoothly and was insightful into the popular items on the menu to help us determine what to choose. Staff were friendly, accommodating and the food was delicious. We all rolled out of...
