Historical ads and pages from the Woman's Weekly Magazine paper the walls (think 1950s and earlier) and you must make a quick trip to the restroom to check out the decor! Lamb, feta and spinach sausage roll was absolutely delicious - big enough for a decent snack for two and perfectly balanced with the gaminess of the lamb and the saltiness of the feta! Tempted by the HUGE biscuits but needed to get back on the road and not in a food coma!! Stop by.. The food and the atmosphere is awesome!!

Service is great. We enjoyed Smashed Avocado with poached eggs, Ham and Cheese Croissant and Parmesan Scrambled Eggs. Everything was great. Coffee is very good. There is no question as to why this place is so popular. It seems to have a pastry specialty, particularly croissants. I would definitely come back here again. Thank you.

As a coffee shop it wasn't too bad, and I was able to get a seat rather promptly, and the service really wasn't all that bad either. However, my gripe probably comes more from the fact that the tea turned out to be just that little bit too strong.

Chef Shannon Easton and Executive Consultant Chef Ian Curley have developed an imaginative menu and decisions and choices are hard. I chose the award-winning duck and mushroom pie with orange, prune and watercress sauce - a signature dish! My wife chose the Cypriot Haloumi with fresh figs - outstanding. Service was exemplary and Suzanne welcomed us warmly to this delightful venue, redolent of the colourful history of the hotel and Ballarat itself. A comprehensive wine list featuring a good representation of local wines is excellent. We'll be back, next time with friends, to enjoy The Gallery and the plethora of interesting activities and sights that Ballarat and environs boast of.
