Eat + Drink
Good food.
Good drinks.
By Lake Wendouree.
As the last remaining hotel on Lake Wendouree, The Lake View Hotel is a rare piece of Ballarat's history, offering good food, good drinks and lakeside hospitality that's just as welcoming today as it's always been.
Breakfast
7am – 11:30am
Start your day with coffee by the lake, a quick bite, or something worth lingering over.
Good if you’re easing into the day. Better if you’re avoiding it a little.
All Day Menu
7am – 5pm
From lighter options to full meals, the all-day menu is built for easy lunches, family catch-ups and everything in between.
Good for groups, easy to share, and flexible enough that no one’s left doing the awkward “I don’t mind, you pick” dance.
Dinner
12pm – Late
A little more time, a proper meal, and options for everyone – no group spreadsheet required. Perfect for midweek, date night, or dinner for the whole fam.
Dietary Requirements
Eating out should feel easy – even when everyone at the table wants something a little different.
If you’ve got dietary requirements, just let the team know. We’ll always do our best to accommodate.
Drinks
Coffee, wine, beers on tap – whatever you feel like, whenever the moment calls for it.
Start with one, stay for a few, or just settle in and see where things go.
Takeaway
Staying in? Helping a friend out? Just don’t feel like cooking?
You can order delivery via Uber Eats, or call through for pickup.
Weekly Specials
An easy yes, pretty much every night of the week.
Pizza, schnitty, burgers – pick your excuse.
Something for whatever kind of catch-up you’re having
Coffee after a walk, lunch that runs a little longer than planned, or dinner that wasn’t originally the plan at all – it tends to happen that way here.
A broad menu, a no-pressure setting, and the kind of place you can suggest when no one can agree – and it ends up being the right call. Every time.
