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.

You'll have noticed that Twosheds has been spending quite a bit of time in Geelong recently. It's…read moreturning into a serious food city down here: reference our recent review of Bistrot Plume. 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

The pork dumplings are always so juicy inside and the staff are super friendly. The interior design harks back to when the building used to be a bank and it is well lit with lots of natural lighting.

I hadn't eaten here in years and years (my teenage days are sadly long gone), but when I visited home last year a friend suggested we meet at Lipari for dinner. We were a party of 5 and seated above the crowd in the restaurant. Our food arrived quickly and our wine glasses were generously filled (just how I like it!). It can be loud at times here, but I think it adds to the atmosphere of Lipari. Everyone should eat here - it's a Geelong staple!

Not the typical Geelong Mexican restaurant. Great decor, very cool…read more Food was ok. Nothing special. Was disappointed with the pricing. $15 for 3 tiny churros and a smear of sauce. Really? $7 for a small taco. Drinks exxy too. I wont be back.

Probably my worst dining experience in Geelong in 4-years living here. Service was poor - had to…read moreflag people down just to get a menu; food took 60-minutes to hit the table after ordering; and food was overpriced and generally a poor quality (highlight was the bottled hot sauce). Interestingly despite many empty tables, staff were sending people away because the kitchen couldn't keep up...didn't seem to stop the uber drivers popping in to pick up orders during our stay. Really disappointing...I hope we just got them on a particularly bad night.

The tapas variety was plentiful and of good quality. The manchengo croquettes were particularly perfect, but was is there not to love about a warm runny cheese filling? The standout for me was the duck. This main dish was cooked delicately to perfection and I don't think I will be able to look past it when I return next. A great selection of desserts and a cheery atmosphere complete this great pick in Geelong.

They were plump and juicy served with the most delectable shoe string fries I've had in a long time. The organic or natural wine is great too.  Start with your colour of choice and ask to sample the wines de  jour.  You'll be enjoying a healthy glass of your new favourite drop in no time. The ambience is casual and friendly, with excellent attentive and passionate staff.   Talk about winner, winner chicken dinner!  The chicken project is boldly fresh and fun and a supurb addition to Geelong's emerging foodie scene.

Caruggi is excellent Italian. Authentic, provincial and perfetto! I can count the number of good…read moreItalian restaurants I know on one hand and Caruggi is now certainly on the list. For entree I ordered the focaccia with pomodoro (tomato), anchovies and capers. I was expecting some tasteless slab of salty bread plied with a few toppings. Hardly. The focaccia was wafer thin, crispy to bite and filled with melted cheese. The tomato topping was amazing, appropriately accompanied with salty anchovies. A provincial dish that I will be coming back for. My pork parpadelle was also perfetto (yep, perfect). I loved the diversity of the rustic Italian dishes on the menu. Generous in proportion, lovingly prepared and a far cry from the 80s style Lygon St Italiano machine. Caruggi Is yet another surprising made in Geelong culinary treat. Excellent hospitality too. I really can't wait to return.

The cafe is full of all sorts of interesting southern and American style adornments. Also, there was great music playing. Overall it's a fun place with great inside and outside areas.

Better than any gumbo I've had in Melbourne. My companions enjoyed their dishes too, two burgers and one rice dish. Good place. Recommended.
