Keep an eye out for exclusive exhibitions that are hosted at the Bendigo Art Gallery. Otherwise it’s a beautiful space anytime, and there’s a popular cafe and gallery shop if you’re not ready to fully commit to the art! 18 minute walk.

Housed in an old goal, visit Ulumbarra to take in a performance by major national and international performing artists and touring companies, join a guided tour, even experience life in the old Cell 26. 25 minute walk.

Visit the View Street Arts Precinct for the Art Gallery and Bendigo Theatre, then stay to poke about in the galleries and boutiques. After all that, eat al fresco at one of the many cafes, grab a pub meal at the heritage Rifle Brigade Hotel, or wine and tapas at Wine Bank on View, housed in a 19th century architectural beauty and old bank. 15 minute walk.

Food scene

Just around the corner from View street, MsBatterhams is a lounge bar and restaurant that evokes serious speakeasy vibes from a bygone Victorian era. Housed in a 140 year old school hall, expect modern Australian fare served in a space replete with plush booths, marble, and velvet curtains. Fancy. Sumptuous. Very adult. 17 minute walk.

One of Bendigo’s top restaurants and deservedly so. Food is modern, shareable, and delicious. And the service is great in a refined but not stuffy space. Worth considering leaving the little ones at home. 10 minute walk.

Bendigo doesn’t have the laneways Melbourne does, but the couple they do have are well worth a wander. Particularly Chancery Lane, where you’ll find The Dispensary. Go for dinner, or just cocktails. Tiny. Classy. Yummy. 15 minute walk.

It’s a serious steak restaurant, but I had some of the best Pork Belly of my life here. Fairly casual setting, and good for families and groups. 18 minute walk.

Not necessarily worth a special visit, but a must if you’re already out this way for brunch or lunch. Inside is lovely, but the outdoor space with rows of large timber tables is my pick. Also lots of GF treats if you’re coeliac or intolerant. 10 minute drive.

We love taking our kids here. Enormous sprawling venue, the extensive stepped gardens with tables nestled into hidden areas makes it feel both private and fun. The glass atrium is another gorgeous setting to eat. Go for lunch and drinks outside when the weather is nice, or dinner in any of the spaces. Crowd-pleasing menu. 5 minute drive.

Spanish tapas bar at the opposite end of Chancery Lane to The Dispensary. Biggest decision - late night sangria here, or cocktails further down? 15 minute walk.

When you’re not grabbing something to eat (Stella, Grill’d) or drink (Metro, Tonic, Subtle Eye) in Bull Street, it’s home to some of the best street festivals in Victoria, shutting the street multiple times a year. Find a festival and go! 18 minute walk.

A Bendigo institution. Go for the always good pizza and pasta and big buzzy atmosphere. Very kid friendly, they’ll give the kids dough to sculpt into whatever they like as their pizzas (including GF) are cooking. 20 minute walk.

Coffee is great, food is good, and kids and adults alike will love the coffee bar housed inside a retro caravan. Plenty of sunny seats outside too. 15 minute walk.

Another cafe that’s a lovely close walk. It has an industrial style, great vibe, always busy. Quick sit for coffees or settle in for a more relaxed brunch or lunch. 10 minute walk.

Fine dining in an elegant space, sitting in one of Bendigo’s most notable historic buildings. Sit in the window for gorgeous views out over Bendigo’s iconic central fountain and Rosalind park and gardens. My Mum has said they’ve enjoyed ‘beautiful food’ here, and she’s a great cook. Divine. 15 minute walk.

Ok Bendigo is not known for its sweeping views, but up this high (it is pretty) on a sunny afternoon or balmy evening is hard to beat. 15 minute walk.

A humming beer garden literally hidden in the middle of town. Well worth finding and escaping into its lush and leafy surrounds for a drink (or two!) Also great for kids, with a bit of a play area. 12 minute walk.

This is your new local! Just around the corner, great food, lots of GF options from an owner that takes it seriously. Live music some nights, a small beer garden when the sun is out, roaring fire inside when it’s not. 3 minute walk.
