The Perch at Lavers Hill

Klebriger Tisch (Lack?), schales Bier vom Fass, überteuertes Essen: Kohl-Achtel, oben verbrannt und unten kalt mit Sauce Hollandaise, zäher Antarctic Toothfish, Rösti mit Aioli (!!!) und langweiliges gummiartiges „türkisches“ Brot mit saurer, schmieriger Baba Ganoush. Unterwältigendes teures Essen, für das wir eine Stunde Anfahrt in Kauf nahmen. Ein schlechter Witz zum 15.Hochzeitstag.

Was told we must have a meal at the Perch by a friend who lives near me in Northern Rivers NSW. So glad we did and we highly recommend to anyone doing the Great Ocean Rd

Everything delicious and the surroundings are beautiful ! Thanks for a great experience

Had a beautiful lunch here! Amazing food, great service and gorgeous location. Highly recommend!

Always a pleasure to return to The Perch, fantastic in every way as always.

Stunning spot with a venue that blends into nature. Delicious food and friendly service.

Delicious meal. The 🥑 dessert was a standout ✨️ Service could do with some fine tuning. I felt we needed more time to settle into the lovely space before being asked if we were ready to order a few minutes after being seated. Multiple staff members then came to ask if we were ready every couple of minutes. Feeling rushed detracted from what otherwise was a lovely restaurant.

Loved the outlook, and the starter and mains were excellent. Desserts were a little disappointing. Service good but a bit slow. However, overall a good experience.

Delicious food and great ambience ! Highly recommended for everyone

Wedding Anniversary dinner at our favourite restaurant, never disappoints. Menu changes regularly so trying something new almost every time.

Great venue, service and food. Strongly recommend this in Lavers Hill

Unfortunately we did not have a good experience. We booked a table, and called ahead to see if we could arrive 15 mins early, we were advised this was fine, and to come in. On arrival we were seated, and asked if we would like sparkling/ tap water. We approached the staff to order our meal approximately 30 mins after we arrived, and were advised they would be a moment. The table next to us who arrived earlier also had not ordered. Another 15 mins passed, and a table we arrived just 10 minutes prior, were served and had their order taken. So after waiting 45 mins, we had not had any drinks or food ordered, or bought any water, or advised there was a delay. At this point we decided to leave and try and get lunch elsewhere, which was most disappointing.

Excellent starters, decor and champagne! Could improve on service…and mains!!

Very pleasant dining experience at lunch today. Broke up our GOR trip nicely. Beers paired well with the Sardine entree and an Alsace wine with the fish.

Lovely lovely lovely! Every part of this stay was fantastic until I lost at chess.

The Pasta with pork cube is good and the seafood Risotto is delicious. .

Great food, quick and friendly service. Lots of veggie friendly options.

We had a lovely dinner and the staff were fabulous. The pate is a must!

Great food and wine, nice warm stop on a cold winters day!

Had the Kangaroo Tartare and yellow fish for entrees which were amazing. Pork sirloin and lamb for mains, with good meat portions and honestly one of the best cooked I’ve had. Highly recommended 😀

This was our first visit to The Perch. As new locals to Lavers Hill we have heard positive comments. Sunday night dinner did not disappoint, and The Perch lived up to its reputation. We loved it !!!

Food was good and service was great! Very nice environment.

very friendly staff, quick service & great food & drinks.

Would definitely go back - absolutely excellent and were amazing with allergies

Amazing restaurant and excellent food. Fond memory and will definitely want to come back.

Beautiful setting. And simply delicious food. We chose a wide range of dishes to share for our party of seven. All outstanding. Great service from a team of young servers. We’ll definitely be back.

Wonderful food destination, great food very fresh, service was great & overall a great food experience Thank you

Fabulous spot for a birthday dinner - thank you 🤩

Food was delicious, and plentiful. Sides were amazing with baked cauliflower a standout. Service was excellent, drink selection was perfect!

Good food, good service, good price, as we have found every time we have been there. Would recommend!

Excellent food, high quality, great taste, excellent service and facilities. New menu: Mushroom gnocchi are to die for!

Food and drinks were delicious. The homemade gnocchi was incredible. The service was so attentive. Had an excellent dinner - the best of our holiday!

Firstly, the carpark is a disgrace. It's a mud bath that now requires us to clean our shoes and the carpet in our car! Secondly to serve expensive food on chipped K-Mart crockery is a disgrace. We were also served a drink in a chipped glass and I walked to the bar to get a straw. These are our first impressions. The food and service was ok. Unfortunately we won't be back nor can we recommend.

Epic find on our way around the coast. Food was amazing. Well worth stopping in if you're driving past.

Couldn’t fault it . Food was amazing and the service was brilliant. Lovely spot with loads of bird wildlife to watch

It is a good restaurant with good manner and good food.

Heerlijk! En super bediening. Vriendelijke en zeer attent! We komen terug

What a lovely place. Great outlook over the paddocks and some bush with plenty of birds flying about. Service was great, attentive but not always interrupting. Food was fantastic! Not the cheapest but we could not fault what we had. We will be back.

Amazing service food and atmosphere, would love to visit again and try some of the other menu items. Staff were very accommodating, food was generous and delicious. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Food quality was amazing. Was after some more quantity with food

thanx very much for a great experience with good food and great view.

Everything was perfection at this restaurant - the food, the service, the atmosphere 10/10

We each had a different dish. They were all fabulous and our server was very helpful. Really excellent!

Great service and fabulous creative food. Very fresh local produce - a delight

Haven't visited for a long time. Wanted to see and taste if it was a great place to enjoy a meal. Well, it lived up our expectations. Very enjoyable.

Great food and a nice stop on the great ocean road

Always have amazing food and service. Would highly recommend going here for a meal.

Really enjoyed The Perch! eBay the baked Brie cheese and the olives with the potato bread. Also had a lemon meringue martini, which was a great dessert. Delicious. Service was great too. Will definitely come back when I return to the Otways

It was a nice "surprise" to find such a fine restaurant in a remote part of Victoria. Compared to the motel we stayed in and other places to eat around it - it is a Rolles-Royce outlet which deserves more visitors. We had a great dinner made from local produce and the service was very good too. It is slightly pricy, but people should appreciate that such high-class food costs more to source and produce.

My only slight gripe is that some e-mails in the lead-up were not answered but I'll put that down to the renovations. Otherwise we were very happy with the experience on all levels. Quite a gem where you might not expect to find one.
