Hydrant Food Hall

The food was amazing, every dish felt carefully made and full of flavor. The taste was next level, truly unmatched. The environment was calm and awesome, making it a perfect place to relax, hang out, or even get office work done comfortably. What really stood out was the chef, Mark. a well-known name who previously worked as a head chef at a 5-star hotel in Dubai. That level of experience clearly shows in every bite. Overall, it’s a cafe with great vibes, incredible food, and top-class quality. I would definitely visit again.

A hidden gem in the middle of Ballarat. In an unassuming converted warehouse with tastefully decorated plants all around, this food hall serves up delicious food with great service. The Reuben was delicious. They have regular specials, so ask the staff. Coffee is also done to perfection.

Popped in for a little date with the mini. She was keen to get the rainbow pancakes and they didnt disappoint. Staff brought her out a colouring book so I got to enjoy my meal in peace too. Was a great little spot!

Too keen to eat our food to remember pictures of our brunch. Haha. This place is a hidden gem. The food looks amazing when it comes out and my favourite part is that it is CONSISTENT. You get beautiful food but you also get delicious food every time there is no lull or variation in quality. That's why we go back (They also know how to perfectly poach an egg). I'll add some good food pics next time we go but for now I'll add the desserts we took home. It's a huge claim to say so but the Banoffee pie was the single best dessert pie I've had in my life and probably the best dessert in general on my list too. I haven't eaten my freshly made chia pudding yet because I'm in a food coma. 😄❤️ The staff and owner are amazing people, we felt like we were welcomed like regulars even during our first visit which is what made us return. If you want some top tier food definitely visit. You wont regret it. 😊👍

We enjoyed the tea, the white chocolate and pistachio eclair and then because it was such a cold day I also ordered the soup and that was enjoyable in the rainy cold day! The hash browns were nice too! Our friends got dishes too. It was good to know they were halal too. One downside to it was the exit door kept opening with the wind and the cold air kept creeping in. They had a nice fireplace but the wind blowing the door open was the only let down. I was hoping they would close the door and those who need to exit can then open the door upon exiting and needing the door to open or have one door for both entrance and exit as the open door wasn’t bursting open. All in all a great spot still!

The atmosphere was relaxing, not too loud, the hot matcha latter was excellent! They haven't had an official menu for the hot matcha latté, but they catered for me. We ordered eggs Benedict with pulled pork, it didn't disappoint. There was a confusion at first since we got different meal, but they were quick to change it. We appreciate it so much, especially I was looking forward to eat it. Definitely recommended. A must visit cafe in Ballarat.

My wife and I came here for a quick lunch today and were pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. My wife had the Eggs Benedict with prawns and I had the smoked pork Adobo burger, both dishes were delectable. Then on the personal recommendation of our friendly waitress we shared a slice of Banoffee pie (went down a treat!). Definitely worth a visit! We will be sure to visit again soon.

Chili scramble is good and addictive. Waiters are friendly too.
