Whitby Bendigo

This venue is a true gem. The food is consistently beautiful, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the views are lovely. The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming, from the moment you walk in to the cheerful wave goodbye as you leave. The portion sizes are generous, and the meals are clearly made with care and attention to detail. On one visit, there was a small mistake with my order, and the staff couldn’t have been more apologetic. They quickly fixed it and even took the initiative to offer a complimentary coffee, which honestly wasn’t necessary, but such a thoughtful gesture. We keep coming back, not just for the food, but for the level of service that really stands out. Some say the prices are a little higher than other local spots, but you're paying for quality: attentive service, a beautiful venue, carefully prepared and large portioned food, and a relaxing ambience with lovely views. They also offer fantastic vegan and gluten-free options, hands down one of the best vegan breakfasts in town. It’s fast become our go-to café, and we recommend it to everyone we know.

Music to loud, whites of poched eggs raw, charged extra for swapping sour bread to gluten free, charge for a bottle of chilled water without being told there was a cost of 9.90 first. Over all l was charged $48 for bacon and eggs and cup of coffee. Not happy will not be returning.

From the moment you walk into Whitby's, you’ll feel like a celebrity. Every detail, from the five-star service to the Instagram-worthy décor, is designed to make you feel like royalty. The food? Absolutely delicious, even the gluten free bread is fabulous. The coffee? Worth moving to the neighbourhood for. You'll be so enchanted you won’t want to leave. Get ready for a return visit, because once you’ve been to Whitby’s, you'll definitely be going back.
