The thing was that when I came here we didn't have all that much time so I just grabbed a take-away tea and ran to catch the train, but looking around I really wanted to spend some more time here. Oh, and the staff were awesome, which is probably why I want to come back.

The patio is wonderful on a sunny day for coffee or lunch (canine companions permitted on the patio) - a stunning setting a throw back to southern Europe where lazy lunches are order of the day. The restaurant is small so wise to book.It has a wonderful french provincial ambiance and the outlook to Monsalvat's artsy buildings, stunning flora and fauna, peacocks etc makes it feel like a vacation... at least for the duration of your coffee or lunch.

The TFC (Templestowe Fried Chicken) Sliders were great and my little girl liked them too. I probably over ordered when I got the Yuzu Benedict as well. I feel like I ordered a watermelon juice with mint because I remember it being a super hot day as we sat in their outdoor area with my dog. Very easy spot to come and go from or meet up with friends, ample parking around too. A hidden gem if you want a menu with a difference.

A minimal disappointment for fine dining. All in all, a good meal.

This part of the hotel is also home to a large bar and TAB, but you can order food from the bistro to enjoy in the more casual setting. Fridays here go from relaxed to party HQ as the DJ livens things up as young and old head past security into the hot spot Terrace Bar. Saturday night is 80's music night so head here to get your retro dance moves out! To enjoy the bistro on weekends or in groups it is best to book as it gets busy. It is worth the prep time though as the food is good pub grub. The large dining room is loud and casual and you will have to head up to the counter to order your meal and the bar to grab a drink. If your toting kids then the games area at the back of the bistro should distract them while you linger over coffee or desert. The LP Hotel has a gaming area which is filled with pokies if your into that type of thing (I'm not) which also has a separate bar. My tip? Drop by the bistro on a Wednesday night for $12 Parma and Pot! If your taking your party on the road then the LP Hotel Bottle shop is located 200 metres down the road, to the right as you exit the upper car park.

I've been wanting to come here ever since I went past it years ago to seem them redeveloping it, and while it was quite hike to get to (especially if you don't have a car) I was really glad that I did. The bush setting certainly gives it a lot of character, and the beer garden, which looks out over the creek, is a great place to spend your time. It appears that it turns into a night spot after 7:00 pm because they bring out the ID checker and station a bouncer at the entrance. This is certainly a place I would like to return to some time.
