The Drawing Room

We were welcomed by Deacon who showed us to a lovely table suited to my hearing issue. Deacon looked after us beautifully and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

Love what you have done to the building. Just a bit noisy.

Noisy and flies around food, particularly uncovered food on counter where people queued to pay.

Lovely meal, I am glad we were in the small room. The large room is very noisy and I would not have enjoyed it.

Loved everything except it is too noisy …can’t have a conversations with friends.

So friendly. Delicious food. So happy with it all and will be back again!

Food and service were outstanding. The only issue was the noise level- it made it difficult to have a conversation

A very enjoyable experience with good food and service. Thanks.

Great food in a pleasant environment. Will go back again.

The pumpkin - halumi dish was yummy but bit sweet/rich with the mashed pumpkin. I was expecting roasted with dukkah Really enjoyed our time - friendly efficient service. Congrats on great new venue!!

Food was ok but menu was the same as any other cafe in town. I booked my table and we had just finished eating and we’re having a chat when the the waiter said you have 5 minutes guys we have rebooked your table. I find this extremely rude and poor customer service, especially considering the table next to us was empty. We were thinking of having another coffee but left in disgust.

Meal and service was outstanding. The ambiance of the room was also very good

Beautiful decor,excellent friendly service,delicious meal. Just a bit echoey. Overall fantastic experience Looking forward to next visit Thankyou

I had the crispy skin Barramundi and it was delicious - so fresh! My partner had the steak sandwich which he said was good. Lunch menu quite limited . A bit noisy until the numbers died down. We will return .

We had a delicious breakfast, the staff were extremely professional and the surrounds (decor) was absolutely enviable lol 😂

Had an amazing meal here with my Mum. The staff were friendly and we will be going back.

The food was great, but it’s such a noisy space, then with music and the coffee machine next to us it was hard to have a conversation. The option of some smaller dishes would be good, most of my friends only want something light for lunch.

The service was amazing, very welcoming! Food was absolutely delicious, will be back again soon 😊

Beautiful renovation, atmosphere, attentive staff and delicious food- ad the best coffee in Bendigo!

We came for a team breakfast with colleagues from work. The booking process was easy and our colleagues with dietaries were accommodated with ease. We all enjoyed the dishes we had and also the coffee. Service was great, really friendly. The atmosphere was lovely - the decor is absolutely lush - and our only comment was that it was pretty noisy even though there were only two tables in when we were in, so it was hard to hear each other sometimes. But that was just a really small note on an excellent experience,

Beautiful venue, tasty food and warm and welcoming staff. An amazing lunch experience. Will be back soon!

Just felt the noise level a little high mainly because it seemed to bounce off the floor to ceiling. However our group was very elderly and therefore for two of us their hearing was impaired. Excellent dining experience all round.

My only complaint is that it was very noisy. We found it hard to hear each other over the music and conversation of other tables. It wont stop me coming back, but maybe the music can be turned right down or off.

Lovely atmosphere, great staff and great food. Only negative is that it’s quite noisy.

Excellent dining experience. Spacious and modern with excellent cuisine and wait staff. Highly recommend

it was great customer service ,great food and the love the black and white theme smiles

We really enjoyed our whole visit. The noise levels were a little high but as we had a lot to catch up on we didn’t let it stop us from talking.

Fabulous space, attentive wait staff, and the food was delicious! Real tea in a pot was an added bonus for us! Well done all round to the Drawing Room, we will be back! :)

Chia pudding was fabulous! Citrusy and different. Great coffee too

Bit too much noise, but I understand plans are in hand to lessen the noise factor. Otherwise all else was excellent. Wishing you every success.we will be back!

We have watched this building be renovated over the past months and were excited to see it open for dining. Our visit exceeded our expectations. The fit out & decor are luxurious and elegant, the service friendly and prompt, and the food was 10/10. A small menu had me hopeful that the chef was narrowing in on their specialty dishes and I suspect that is the case. The two dishes we ordered, crispy barramundi on angel hair pasta & pork belly salad were fresh, hot, packed with flavour and fresh herbs as well as being plated beautifully. The wine list was curated with some of our favourites, the whole lunch experience was perfect! Cannot wait to return

It was quite loud, service was great. One slice of bread with eggs Benedict was not enough.

First visit ,loved the place and will be back to have lunch next time when perhaps it’s quieter

The service was fantastic. Beautifully restored building which is lovely to see.

Great breakfast, friendly & timely service, large & attractive dining area; spacious, clean restrooms with thoughtful decor.

The owners have kept wonderful safe GF options from their last cafe, I got the brekky burger and actually got a GF bun instead of bread! It was so delicious & so was the smoothie.

Great menu, great staff. Excellent service. Pretty loud inside when there’s lots of people in but still highly recommend.

An excellent experience! Food was sensational- attentive service! The wine list was very good with many local and regional wines listed.

Our lunch was very nice but the noise in the restaurant made conversation very difficult and we had to find another area in the restaurant that was more suited to conversation
