The bruschetta was the absolute standout of the meal, and the desserts were pretty darn delicious and satisfying too! But we would suggest giving the spaghetti mollica a miss. Maybe take a peek at what the locals are ordering and follow suit.

The quirky space was cosy and comfortable, while the food was fresh and delicious. The service was pretty slow and we even had to wait over 20 minutes for our coffees, but we understand that it was a very busy weekend and the venue was absolutely packed, so obviously the staff and kitchen were just a bit overwhelmed. Overall, a very nice spot for brunch.

Mr. Beebe's was a surprising delight. With stylish decor and friendly staff, we thoroughly enjoyed a super fun and relaxed afternoon. The tasting menu is absurd value for money. We were absolutely stuffed by the time we left. The only disappointment was the duck, which was a bit overdone and dry. But we'd happily drive back to Bendigo for the tasting plate alone. A lovely way to end our weekender!
On the road home...
