The Boardwalk Bendigo

"My husband and I went for a walk around the lake on Saturday. Thought we would stop for a coffee at 11am. Asked to sit out the front in the sunshine, was told we had to buy breakfast to sit there. I now understand why there was a few empty tables just over half had patrons. In my opinion they’re a business who believe there more popular and important than they actually are. $10 is obviously not enough cash for a ten minute sit with coffee. Went across the road to the ice-cream shop, were served by two lovely young women who were happy for us to purchase a coffee. And a beautiful coffee it was. Won’t be back to the Boardwalk."

"Absolutely my favourite place in Bendigo! Will definitely be coming here every weekend, especially in the beautiful weather. Great coffee, great food and great service! Can't really ask for anything more. It's also dog friendly and the staff really go out of their way to make sure that the customers are enjoying themselves. Oh and the views? 10/10"

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant situated in front of the beautiful lake, and I must say, it was an absolute delight. As a vegetarian, I'm always on the lookout for great food options, and this place exceeded my expectations. We chose to sit on the patio with our furry companion, and to our delight, they not only welcomed our dog but also offered her a refreshing bowl of water. The friendly and accommodating nature of the staff made us feel right at home. When our plates arrived, I was immediately captivated by the exquisite presentation. Each dish was meticulously arranged, showcasing the chef's attention to detail. But it wasn't just the visual appeal that impressed me; the flavors were truly exceptional. Each bite was a harmonious blend of fresh ingredients and expertly crafted seasonings. From appetizers to desserts, the vegetarian options were diverse and bursting with flavor. It was evident that the chefs put great thought and creativity into their dishes, resulting in a memorable culinary experience. Moreover, the restaurant's location in front of the lake provided a picturesque backdrop, adding to the overall ambiance and creating a serene atmosphere. It was the perfect setting to enjoy a meal while appreciating the beauty of nature. Overall, I can confidently say that this restaurant is a gem for vegetarians and food enthusiasts alike. The combination of remarkable food, friendly service, and a scenic view makes it an exceptional dining destination. I highly recommend visiting this establishment if you're seeking a memorable and delicious vegetarian dining experience."

"We visited The Boardwalk back in May and ate here twice. We sat out the back on the decking overlooking the lake, in the sunshine and it was very pleasant. Food is excellent but what is *almost* better was the Adam Ant entrance; he is etched into the glass door. I'm an Adam fan from the early '80s and the owner Andy and I found we had a mutual appreciation for those times. He brought me some books to look at while we waited for our food and we chatted about London in the late '70s to early '80s. Thanks for the hospitality and food. The waiter was incredibly friendly as well and can't recommend highly enough. Go to Bendigo! It's a secret Victorian gem!"

"A groove joint for spectacular on Lake Weeroona. The service is unfaultable. Menu is concise but caters to all including vegans vego and gf and kids. Sit inside or out. Dog friendly Lovely jungle theme and a refreshing spot for modern vibes and relaxing food"
