What a gem. Real counter meals like you used to get. Good portion sizes of super âhome styleâ cooking of favourites including mixed grill, salmon patties, lambs fry, chicken Parma. And deserts to including syrup sponge and trifle. Great cosy bar with several draft beers, cheerful staff and what a place to warm the cockles on a cold Ballarat night.

DUCK SPRING ROLLS: Roasted Peking duck spring rolls served with plum sauce $15 - (good crispy spring rolls with lots of duck inside) STICKY PORK BELLY BITES: Cube of slow cooked pork belly dressed with sticky plum sauce, apple and lime salsa $15 - (the pork belly was tough and the skin was hairy which makes it unpleasant to eat and the hair itself was so pointy and sharp. One of them got caught in my throat and hurt for days. Do not recommend to order!!) PORK RIB EYE: Barkers creek king pork cutlet on creamy mashed potatoes, sautéed leeks, cabbage and cranberry citrus jus $30 - (The pork was over cooked and was very bland. No season whatsoever in the mashed potato and cabbage. The cranberry sauce was nice but they only put a tiny amount on top) Locations: The Lake View Hotel @thelakeviewhotel 22 Wendouree Pde Ballarat, Victoriaâï¸Noey Yummy points: 5/1030/04/2019 #noeyeats IG: Natch27

Excellent in all respects. Central location, heaps of parking. Old fashioned pub with relaxed, very pleasant service, wide range of dishes, reasonably priced and excellent food. Large portions too. Can't fault it.I'm torn about writing a great review because we'd like to keep this our own little secret but these people deserve to prosper.The Munster will become a regular venue for us.

So impressed. Room was clean, huge! Bathroom was excellent. We stayed midweek so was very quiet no pub noises. Staff were amazing so friendly. Only had drinks in the bar which was really relaxing before we went out with friends. Parking out the back if your lucky enough to get, which we did, otherwise street parking could add up. Loved the decor in the bar/cafe. We were so surprised, donât judge the outside. Every staff member was amazing, very high standard of customer service. Wouldnât hesitate to go back. Thanks for a great stayThank you for your generous feedback JudyA99. It's wonderful to hear you enjoyed your stay with us, especially the decor & high quality of customer service. We look forward to seeing you again.

A family evening meal which included two small boys. The meals are always well presented tasty and of good quality. The staff were welcoming and very friendly. Meals are ordered at the bar and served quickly. A request on a meal variation from a chicken to a prawn base went without a hitch. Just makes that much of a difference. Thank you to the kitchen staff.

We unfortunately choose to celebrate our 10 year anniversary here. Both ordered a steak well done, neither were close to Well done. Had to send mine back as it more close to rare! Didnât even get to enjoy our meal together!! Staff were extremely friendly. Meal was good once done right. Very expensive food & drinks. Very disappointed. Hello Yvetteiacobucci Sorry to hear about your experience on your recent visit to the Red Lion. We work hard to serve great food with warm hospitality and it doesn't seem that you got the full Red Lion experience. If you would be kind enough to email [email protected] and speak with Rhys our manager regarding this we would like to offer you a voucher to return and enjoy your anniversary together. Kind Regards

Ballarat Yacht Club is the perfect place to enjoy delicious food, coffee or cheese and wine while enjoying the best Lake Wendouree views. Relax on the deck or inside our recently refurbished restaurant, and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and great views.

Mid way through a long drive, we stopped here for lunch on a Sunday. We were looking forward to a quiet lunch with a lake view but alas this was not to be on this occasion. The wind was blowing a gale so outside on the deck was not an option. Inside the restaurant two large group celebrations were in progress and there were many other diners as well.Our lovely meal of fish and chips was most enjoyable but we were pleased to leave a venue where the noise level was becoming quite wearing. This was partly due to the jam packed nature of the seating in the restaurant, and also the high noise level arising from a combination of chatter, speeches, clapping and general movement around the tables.Will try again.

We hadn't been to eat here for about 8 months but we were confident that the food would still be awesome and it was. We had friends with us that hadn't eaten here before and they loved it too. The food is delicious and served hot. The owner is beautiful and she is so helpful when ordering your dishes. The decor is inviting, parking is not an issue as it is not in the centre of town, the staff are friendly and the food is fantastic. If you love Indian, then give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.Hi Sally, Thanks for this wonderful review, reviews like this motivate us for our future plans for this place. we look forward to see you again
