Had lunch here a few times. The coffee is not bad and the food is good. Went there one day when it…read morewas hot and it was very warm inside and almost uncomfortable. The staff are friendly and attentive. They bring the food out reasonably quick and they serve water with ice and lemon as a nice touch. Happy to return here again as it's simple food that satisfies some of the fussy eaters ( Childrens) needs that don't like spicy or exotic or fancy foods. It's an easy option when going out with several people that maybe fussy or have plain tastes but still nice enough to enjoy.

Nice decor and atmosphere but food flavour and quality let them down badly. Pork sliders spicy hot but bland in flavour and coleslaw dry lacking dressing. Falafels very grainy and dry with a spicy sweet sour sauce that came with no rice??? Curry beef rangdan nothing special. Disappointed compared to previously enjoyed visits.

If I could give a zero, I would. I was here yesterday with my partner (we're both female) and a…read morefriend, and the staff were extremely rude. We ordered some coffees, specifically requesting soy milk. No worries, happy to pay extra for it, whatever. When the coffees arrived, the person serving them was extremely short with us. They then returned to the kitchen (which can be seen from the table we were sitting at), and proceeded to physically POINT at us while in conversation with another staff member. The other staff member then visibly rolled her eyes. I'm not sure whether it was because we specifically checked to make sure soy milk was used (sorry for being lactose intolerant, I guess?), but I would definitely prefer to think it was that over the alternative, which is that the staff were discriminating against us based on our relationship. If it was the fact we're lesbians, frankly I am disgusted. It's 2017. Do better.

I'm a huge fan of this pub. And I do not say that often…read more The food menu really had me at hello and pushed the Bridge to be my top choice pub in Castlemaine. The food was so good in fact, that we came nearly every week for the time we stayed in Castlemaine. There's options for vegetarians as well, it's not your traditional pub food fare. I really liked the feel of the place. It feels familiar and welcoming, vibrant and chill all at the same time. The staff here make you feel at home. It's bustling with locals, there's heaps of live music. And there's a vibin' beer garden back patio. The Bridge Hotel is located right across from the Castlemaine botanic gardens. Just a stone's throw away from the station but away enough from anything that it seems to stand alone. Can't wait to venture back for Mondays in Mexico!

Okay, this is the first pub that you hit when you enter Kyneton from the railway station side, so…read moreit was not surprising that as I was dragging my suitcase into town that this was the first place that I ended up stopping at (even if only for a drink). Well, it turned out that I was going to stay here for a lot longer that I expected because even though it was going to take a little time for my meal to be cooked, as soon as I sat down I heard my name called out and sure enough, sitting at a table around the corner, were a group of friends. The steak was okay, but not really the best that I have, but the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff certainly made up for that. I also have to admit that it was a pretty nice pub, with a typical country atmosphere, and while they did have a craft beer on tap, it happen to be James Squire, so I tend not to consider that to be a member of the craft beer family.

I went for lunch with my folks. I ordered a scotch fillet that was listed at $29, I was expecting…read moresomething to fill me up. Firstly the steak wasn't a scotch (I'm a local cattle farmer and know my beef). It was cooked to my order (well done) but the portion size wouldn't have filled a 10 year old kid. It came with a salad (a bit of lettuce, maybe half a tomato and a slice or two of onion - very basic). Dad had the lambs fry, it hardly had any lambs fry in the meal, he was most disappointed. Mum had the fish which was ok. We all left disappointed (Mum included cause of my and Dads meals) and will not return.

Visiting from the US, I tried my best to find good breakfast options that weren't just pastries and…read morecoffee, which is not a good option for me or my son. This was one of very few options, so we trekked over. The service wasn't great at the start as we were given menus and forgotten about as the rest of the cafe filled up. I had to track down the waitress who promptly passed me off to another waitress to order. The food, however, was great. We had hot chocolate and chai to drink, which came quickly and was frothy and good. My son ordered the pancakes, which for some reason comes with ice cream in the breakfast menu. Hold the ice cream, but added sausage for some protein. There wasn't a lot of syrup, but the pancakes were fluffy and tasty. I got the sourdough toast with scrambled eggs, add smoked salmon. The portion was large and all of it was very good. I would have liked some jam for the toast, but maybe that's not how it's done here. To be fair I didn't ask for any, and it was very good with just butter.

The food is alright and the coffee looks like it is just made by high school students (no offence to high school student, there might even be some high school students who make beautiful coffee but they are rare to find and if there are any they are not found in this cafe) who on the minimum wage have nothing to worry about but there homework (this is all just speculation). However the store does put some efforts in trying to be as fresh as possible and to some extent it achieves that but not to an extent where I can be a fan of. As the stars say it is A-OK

We found this gem completely randomly, driving north on the Hume Highway, and deciding to stop in…read moreEuroa because it was the right time for lunch. This restaurant is wonderful! It's good old comfort food (fish and chips, steaks, salads), cooked exquisitely, with very high quality ingredients. The restaurant is wholly unassuming, its dining room feels like my grandmother's 1950s era living room. But don't be led astray by the low key appearance. This restaurant serves some of the best food I've ever had in Victoria. Whenever I'm within a 30 minute radius of Euroa in the future, I'll be sure to stop by this gem. The Porterhouse steak is only 17$, extraordinarily juicy, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. The fries are all hand cut, thin, and scrumptious. I'm in awe about how their one chef can be so good at so many things! The portions are also HUGE, so go hungry or be ready for sharing.
