GPO Bendigo

We had the lovely Alana look after us this evening. She was great! Very personable & helpful. Lovely menu & the best spicy margaritas!

Wonderful, very friendly and attentive service - can't be faulted. Ok prices for dishes and a wonderful ambience. Unfortunately, our tapas dishes weren't what we'd hoped for. The lamb ribs were pure fat - no meat at all. The wagyu skewers had an unusual medicinal-tasting glaze on them, and the bang bang popcorn chicken was too salty, we sadly couldn't even finish it out take it away (lest we had a side dish like rice). Desserts look lovely, but we didn't get them, sadly. Really friendly staff.

My wife and I visited GPO for a Sunday night dinner and really enjoyed the experience. The Cauliflower & Pork Belly Tapas were excellent and Scollops were nice but could have done with a shade longer on the grill. Each of the these dishes normally comes with 3 portions per dish. The young lady that served us was working the bar but rather than let us wait came and took our drink and meal orders. We mentioned that we would be sharing the tapas. When the dishes arrived we noticed that each of the three tapas plates had 4 portions, which we assume the young lady had organised, so that my wife & I would get 2 pieces each …… well done for listening and using inventive… This is so often not the case so it’s nice to see. She also made my wife a Bloody Mary, which wasn’t on the menu, and she hadn’t made before, but my wife said was one of the best she had tried…. Again well done. The mains of Eye Fillet and calamari were very nice. A good dinning experience must include good food and feeling that you have been looked after and treated like a real customer and the GPO staff did that very well. Thank You Would recommend that you try this establishment.

Food was absolutely terrible for the price of it. Steak was definitely chargrilled!! Was $65 for a chargrilled steak with about 4 unseasoned potatoes, no sides or vegetables. The scallops were tiny and unseasoned and definitely not work $19, they are bigger when bought out or season at the supermarket. The food is definitely not upto scratch for the price you pay. Very disappointing.

We visited GPO Bendigo for a family dinner to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant itself looked inviting, and the service was excellent, the staff were friendly and professional. Unfortunately, our experience was spoiled by a loud and rude group seated next to us. Their behaviour made the atmosphere uncomfortable and detracted from our celebration. The noise also affected our order: one starter was missed entirely, and two of the steaks we ordered were undercooked. Portions were small, with very limited vegetables, just a few pieces of potato with the steaks, which didn’t feel like good value for money. Additionally, we were surprised to find that the restrooms lacked soap and sanitary bins. This felt unhygienic and disappointing, especially in a restaurant setting where cleanliness is expected. Overall, despite the good service, we were left dissatisfied and wouldn’t return or recommend GPO Bendigo to friends or family.

Me, my mum and sister came here for dinner and everything is AMAZING!! The food, the drinks, the service, will 100% be coming back :) 10/10

Had a great, late meal here Friday night, after being turned away by a number of other establishments. The food was plentiful, well-priced and tasted delicious! If I lived in Bendigo, this would be my go-to!!

Great service - very friendly, fast and welcoming. I didn't really like our tapas dishes. The lamb ribs had no meat on them at all - pure fat. The wagyu beef skewers had a strange, medicinal taste, and the chicken pops were too salty, drowned in soy sauce. We didn't stay for dessert, which looked very appetising on the menu. Best off just ordering a steak, surely you can't go wrong with that.
