“Set in a historic venue MH is one of our favourite venues to enjoy a relaxing glass of wine and nibbles. ”

“We are Hop Temple. A venue enthusiastic about good beer, wine and food. A family orientated environment for everybody to enjoy. We pride ourselves on providing a relaxed atmosphere with no pressure. Situated down Hop Lane, follow the umbrellas and festoon lighting to a hidden laneway delight.”

“Great pizzas. The Armstrong St restaurant has plenty of space with indoor and outdoor dining. Otherwise you can order take-away from the Sturt St venue. ”

“Central Ballarat Great coffee, break and lunch Dinner available on Friday evening - must make a reservation”

“Spanish ex-pat and owner Jose has put together a Spanish restaurant with wonderful hospitality and some really outstanding regional food. Order from the menu or ask for a 'feed me' $59 menu and they will keep sending dishes out of the kitchen until the table groans for a halt. Outstanding dishes include the slow-cooked beef cheek in rich gravy on a creamy mash, prawns in red wine, croquettes filled with jamon and potato, a wonderful cheese board, terrific Creme Catalan and almond torte with cinnamon and lemon zest. Seriously good. ”

“Webster's is one of our favourite coffee and breakfast venue. The cafe is small and can be quite busy, if you want some privacy Webster's may not be the place to go.”

“Extensive range of craft beers. Creative menu. Games, like giant Jenga. Our kids love ‘The Melon’ because they have a 20c lolly machine. It’s hidden in the back lounge, near the door for the beer garden with the table tennis table. ”

“Warm and cosy with scrumptous meals during the cold winter in Ballarat. During summer the outside areas bask in the afternoon soon and watch the sunset over Lake Wendouree with a cold beer or a nice glass of wine. ”

“Directly over the road. We weren't Aldi fans until we moved here! Now we love it. ”
