Wine Bank On View 45 View Street, Bendigo, Victoria 3550

"The food was delicious. Service was a little slow, would be okay if you had all afternoon. But I was on a lunch break and they just bought the three share plates out one at a time. I recommend that they adopt the simple approach of asking if we wanted them all together or separately when taking the order. The place has a 'cosy' atmosphere about it. And although people seem close the noise doesn't travel so it is easy to have a conversation with your companions. The wine stocks are impressive as you would expect from the name. I just had the house wine and was pleasantly surprised."

"Ate here twice during the recent writers' festival (also recommended!) Bendigo turns on the cosy charm and Wine Bank does as well. We sat outside for the first meal, there was a heater in the building's portico and the four of us had a lovely time, lovely atmosphere. Food is good. Wine is good as well. Second time it was just two of us, we sat in front of the fire, couch and coffee table set up. Some feedback though: table needed a wipe down and I had to ask for water for the table."

"We ate at the Wine Bank a few times in the past when they still had a proper menu and back then, the food was tasty. Unfortunately tonight's experience was the opposite. Food was tasteless and definitely not worth the money. On top of that, about an hour after eating, we got severe stomach pain, bloating and cramps. Not sure if the spring rolls were full of preservatives or what? Obviously the food was not freshly made. An awful experience we are not going to repeat. Staff were fantastic, friendly and professional, however the food quality does not reflect that and is extremely overpriced for what it is."

"Love the old building. The interior is cosy and comfortable, massive ceiling height. Soup was delicious and meatballs yummy. Went in afternoon after seeing the Elvis exhibition across the road. Enjoyed glass of wine and food with my sisters."

"Across the board, Bendigo surpassed all my expectations, with the food and dining scene being no exception! I really liked wine bank, the outdoor indoor dining options allow you to sit outside on a warm summers evening or sit inside the once occupying bank. The food was delicious, in a tapas style you’re able to try a range of different dishes without breaking the bank. I was there with two vegetarians, who were able to leave feeling full, which goes to show the dynamic nature of the menu. They really liked the tofu and so did the meat eaters so definitely give this a shot! The drinks were all great, and cheap! Especially by Melbourne standards, with the cosmo and the whisky sour we ordered costing $14 each! I have to recommend the cosmo it was big, packed a punch and tasted great! Also want to mention that the individual helping us with the blue hair was great and really added to the collective experience of the group!"
