For something a little more adult, but still with a family vibe, Ballarat Trading Co. is a fun gastropub offering a diverse menu of fine dining, comfort food and great drinks. You’ll love the ambiance and time to slow down with the family over breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Go all out for dinner at Eichardt’s Bar in the private and historic hotel of the same name.
