The Best Places to Eat Near The Mitchelton Hotel Nagambie, by the Record




  1. Red gum from the Bendigo region does the real work here, burning in the wood grill and oven that give this refined steakhouse its whole reason for being. The menu runs wagyu, dry-aged rib eye, and premium grass-fed cuts, backed by a bar stocked with 28 wines by the glass and a seasonal cocktail list. An Australian Good Food Guide One Chef Hat. Dress up a little; the room expects it.


  2. Rank 5. Le Foyer

    Australian

    An open fire anchors the dining room at Le Foyer, and the kitchen leans into it hard, running wood-fired meats and fresh-shucked oysters through a menu that changes with what's good and in season. It's a relaxed but polished Modern Australian restaurant where the bar pulls equal weight, with solid cocktails and a thoughtful wine list. The kind of place you settle into for the evening without quite meaning to.


  3. Rank 6. Alium Dining

    Modern Australian

    Perched on View Point in central Bendigo, Alium is a modern Australian restaurant built around seasonal produce and a dining room that actually feels like it wants you there. The menu shifts with what's good rather than what's expected, and the team runs service with enough warmth to soften even the most reluctant regional-city dinner guest.
