I have been visiting Athelstane for several years, it was always a great little gem when Queenscliff let the tourist crowds overwhelm its many normally charming venues... but lately Athelstane had lost its mojo.
So my recent visit, in which I ended up having coffee with the NEW owners, revealed that the former owners had been winding down towards selling the place - bingo, that's why!
I am glad to report that Athelstane is now back baby ! The staff seem re-energised, the coffee is great, the food amazing and that charming atmosphere remains.
Whether you have been here before or not try the new Athelstane for the first time ! read more
