A refreshing space and welcome addition to the Bendigo dining scene. Excellent service and reasonable prices. Recommend making a booking. If you enjoy a glass of bubbles over breakfast then this place is for you. Definitely will be back.

It was a last minute decision to go to The Drawing Room today for lunch, the online booking was so simple, the service and meal were excellent. We were seated immediately and felt we were valued new diners. Our food arrived promptly. We ordered a steak sandwich, which when it arrived was exceptionally different and a delightful meal to remember. Nothing like we had had before. We can totally recommend The DRAWING ROOM to all those who want a delicious dining experience.

The good and service were excellent. The environment is good but can be a bit to noisy, which lets the experience a little . However it is good enough for us to overlook this and be a regular customer .

First timers, in for breakfast. Wowie! What a spiffingly nice venue. Service with a warm and friendly smile from the outset. Coffee, sublime. Eggs, poached perfectly. And the decor was absolutely top notch. Might have been our first time, certainly won't be our last!

Hi. The food and atmosphere was fantastic and we loved the renovation. The only negative is the noise level. We feel if the music was turned down (the bass was loud) then all the diners would not have to speak so loudly to be able to hear each other. It was hard to hear our other guests at our table. Everyone at our table felt the same.

All three of us were very pleased with our food, and the service was great. Sadly, the volume of the 'background ' music made our conversation difficult, and was very trying. A quiet restaurant is a treasure when you find one, and happily there are still a few. But not this one.

First time visit & we loved it. The decor & setting just beautiful . Our only complaint was we were seated in front of the kitchen & when the back door was opened the cool breeze blew in & made it uncomfortable

Third time having lunch at The Drawing Room - never disappoints. Delicious food, presented beautifully with care and attention by the amazing chefs. Service staff incredibly welcoming, friendly and efficient - always. Could not recommend this venue for breakfast and lunch strongly enough.
