Grand Pacific Hotel Lorne

Popped in for a birthday lunch and we absolutely loved it.. fabulous renovations have made this old lady alive again and the food and service from Maryanne did not disappoint either. Will be back for sure!! 😁 Great views... and even had a bowl out for the pooch 🐶 just brilliant ❤️

We’ve been here quite a few times. Renovations are great, it has a clean fresh and vibrant feel. The views are perfect. The atmosphere is great, cocktails and food can’t be faulted. The waitresses are great, friendly and hospitable. Highly recommended and will always return

We dined in the newly refurbished dining room at the Grand Pacific Hotel in Lorne, and it was absolutely fantastic. The décor is beautifully done—high-quality and perfectly reflective of the hotel’s original era. The service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely delicious. The owner was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into the hotel’s history. And of course, the location is unbeatable. Highly recommend

Great views! Really delicious and aesthetic food. We were so full and content. Service was friendly. Only critique is that we ordered 3 steaks at medium rare and they were all different cuts and shapes. It meant that the thickest cut steak was quite rare.

Interesting place, hard to access for graham with walker and step out the front and narrow way to get to table. Parking hard parked on a hill and door keep closing on me I’m almost squish. Toilets very nice and clean maybe a lick of paint been added recently? But not much soap. Watch a movie recently I think “the shiny” give similar vibe. Food ok, graham got fish and it nice but how much better than chippy down road? My chicken para was okay but bit cold and lettuce mix felt a bit rough. We got pasta to share and bit yuck. Cook not well and not flavoured good should have gotten arinchini instead. Nice location but many bugs. On way out ladie with plate in hair and glasses stop in walk way with iPad and me almost trip over then I sore her eye roll. Not very friendly I think.

The long awaited renovation of this iconic pub brings with it a major transformation in food excellence. We enjoyed one of the best meals we’ve had in years (both in Oz and overseas). The menu and wine list is small but excellent. The staff are welcoming, views are superb. It’s well priced and we will be back to try more of the fantastic menu.

Excellent food, and a decent wine list, and not too expensive either. The staff were friendly and helpful, the views are truly incredible and it’s lovely to see this pub getting back to what it really should be – a star in the firmament of Victorian coastal hospitality. Note that reviews from before early 2025 are not relevant to the new iteration of this pub. It has been fully revamped and refurbed, and has settled into a groove. Highly recommended as a stop for lunch if you’re driving along the road, and I dare say it would be a fabulous spot for dinner if you were staying in Lorne.

Absolutely blown away by the refurbishment of this iconic pub. After being closed for two years, it has reopened looking incredible. The renovation has been done beautifully, the atmosphere is spot on, the food was excellent, and the customer service was outstanding. On top of that, it has the best views in Lorne. Easily the best pub in town — a must-visit if you’re in the area.
