From the cauliflower crisps (think puffy like a prawn cracker) to the mussel and chorizo salad and delicately prepared atlantic salmon - the shared entree was impressively diverse and flavoursome. The poached cod was a standout and the kale and pancetta salad was crispy in all the right places. Such a great dining experience, I will be sure to return when next in Geetown. Well deserving of the recently awarded good food guide chef's hat too.

I was looking for a good restaurant in Geelong and this one came up on yelp…read more The staffs were really nice. Food sounded good and looked fancy on plates but not as good as I thought. Pan grilled white fish was bit bland and lobster raviolli was not in a bisque like the one in America. Do not get me wrong, it was not bad at all. However, the price is kinda high and you are definitely paying for the ocean view and nice ambiance.

Dainty teapot. ...So goes my original, surprisingly brief, glowing review. This cafe has a minimalist trendy feel and a menu with several dishes having a vegan option. I've just had the current smashed avo, in which the avo wasn't smashed, and which was surprisingly spicy due to the addition of radish and other things that didn't look spicy at all. Still lovely though.

To follow up, after a busy day, we had a 3pm yum cha at the Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant located in the Geelong CBD. What a delight! The kitchen was technically shut when we arrived, but the lovely staff were happy to keep it open for us. We lunched on the classics: ginger prawn dumplings, shark fin and scallop dumplings and vegetarian spring rolls cooked to crispy perfection. When Twosheds' eyes were bigger than what could be eaten, our lovely attentive staff member happily converted remaining food to take away. The surroundings here are fantastic too. Located in an old gold rush bank building. Recommended. 4.0
