Welcome to Fitzroy Town Hall Hotel! Fresh new life has been pumped into this classic public house by chef Sean Donovan and his team. A series of cosy and intimate beautifully curated spaces offering a wide range of drinking and dining experiences have been created. The venue offers four distinct areas, a traditional yet stylish public bar complete with vintage tiling, wood panelling and a snug offering premium craft beverages and casual dining spaces. The bistro dining room has a hunting lodge feel with rich tartans, textured wallpaper and ambient lighting alongside a juxtaposing light, green and lush conservatory feel dining area.

Exclusive private dining is offered in the old wine cellar and is perfect for a range of special occasions from intimate wedding parties to corporate events. The upstairs level has been restored to its former glory to offer a flexible and accommodating space. This gorgeous area will cater to dining, functions, bar and lounge areas and access to the balcony which overlooks Johnson Street.

Fitzroy Town Hall Hotel offers a variety of generous, quality driven, unpretentious dining experiences as well as accommodating those who simply wish to come in, pull up a bar stool and enjoy a nice cold beer!

Our menu focuses on seasonal, fresh, artisan ingredients with a European flavour. Premium beef and seafood, smokey wood bbq and rotisserie echo Donovan’s rustic and generous yet finessed style of cooking. Ultimately our goal is to recreate the ambiance of the quintessential corner pub that offers excellent food with Donovan’s well-known generosity in portions and flavour.

Mr Beebe’s eating house and bar is all about sharing: with friends, family or even Mr Beebe. While our food is fresh, local Victorian, and organic.

Our menu is designed to be flexible and we encourage you to eat as much or as little as you like while sharing the experience with the people you came with (or maybe just the stranger sitting next to you – as among other things the infamous Mr Beebe’s is known as an astute match maker).

The food itself is created in a modern European style and we utilise only the very best local and organic produce… Mr Beebe’s wouldn’t have it any other way!

Drop in and experience our menu created using our homegrown produce, sensational coffee, and the beautiful surroundings, all nestled along the banks of the Plenty River.

We have a delectable selection of homemade tapas, tarts, pies, salads, muffins & cakes. And our breakfasts are becoming renowned in the area!

We also cater for children with a great kids menu full of healthy, tasty meals sure to tantalise little tastebuds.

On Friday and Saturday evenings we are now serving our French and Spanish inspired dinner menu.

Full most nights, busy over lunch and a de rigeur dinner spot in certain local circles; bustling, noisy France-Soir has the panache of a Parisian bistro. Wins are celebrated, deals done and rock stars come and go. In this tiny Melbourne restaurant, it's as much about expert service and casual bonhomie from theatrical, French speaking waiters who deftly weave around close-set tables, as it is about the carte that's changed little over 26 years.

Located within Sofitel Melbourne On Collins, No35 is an elegant dining destination designed with rich timbers, vibrant tones, contemporary artworks and breathtaking views of Melbourne. The restaurant serves modern cuisine using fresh local ingredients matched with attentive service and an outstanding wine selection.

Frenchy's has been at its current Location for over ten years now. Owned and operated by Chef Klaus Lemm.

French Cuisine has always been Klaus forte and with over twenty years of experience in Europe and Australia his love for cooking shows in the meticulously authentic execution of his food.

Frenchy's eclectic collection of bronze statues, wooden ducks and wine bottles (reminiscing of past diners) gives it his charming ambience.

Utilising the best in local and seasonal produce to bring you an accessible dining experience where technique and quality of ingredients is uncompromised.

"The people of Lyon are on to a good thing. They invented the Bouchon, an eatery built on warm service and well-cooked produce. Chef Travis Rodwell has brought this concept to Bendigo, where he has earned an excellent reputation for French classics, such as snails with garlic butter and chargrilled quail with punchy bois boudran sauce. Mains such as 'Everything Wagyu' porterhouse are a worthy match for Heathcote Shiraz."

Bistro Guillaume has been inspired by France’s most popular neighbourhood bistros.

The natural light-filled bistro’s design pays homage to the traditional bistros of France by featuring timber panelling and mouldings with the richness and warmth of French oak timber, and incorporates Bistro Guillaume’s whimsical grass green colour in both the bar area and entrance. Featuring an extensive outdoor terrace (a hallmark of the world’s best bistros), a zinc-topped bar, and a dramatic private room, the spacious, welcoming dining area is complete with Bistro Guillaume’s signature chefs’ hats pendant lights – its ‘French petticoats’. As well as the terrace, indoor dining and private room, guests may also meet at the zinc-topped bar and enjoy a glass of Champagne, a classic cocktail or try one of the bistro’s specially created cocktails.

Not only can guests select from a daily ‘plat du jour’, the menu also features French bistro classics such as duck confit, expertly prepared simple steak dishes, and a range of main course size salads, making Bistro Guillaume a must-try venue for any health conscious diner. With its relaxed service style, guests are encouraged to pour their own wine from the unadorned tables. The bistro’s wine list is a tightly edited selection, with half of the selection sourced from France; the other half is sourced locally from boutique Victorian wineries, with all wines available by the glass or bottle.
