Love all the dishes we ordered, particularly the starters. The kangaroo was just so perfectly cooked, it's juicy and sweet. The smoke trouts were also lovely, full of flavours and had the perfect umami.

First of all, I’d like to give a huge kudos, to our server, Rod !
Rod has truly did, an outstanding job, all night.
My observation comes from, not just with our table, for our anniversary.
But with absolutely everyone, he was serving last night.
You certainly have a star in the making with him !!
Believe me I know, as I used to work in fine dining in the USA, for a celebratory chef.
So I definitely know a great personality for this field of work, when I see an incredible talent, such as him.
The restaurant itself, is wonderfully styled with its interior design, lighting and table settings. An incredible looking bar set up, with an outstanding wine list. The food was quite excellent, as we tried a few different selections, off the menu.
The highlights would have to be the dessert, which is the chefs specialty and the delicious cos salad.
Overall, we’re definitely looking forward to returning, when we are back to Beechworth.
Thank you to Rod, the other servers and of course the chef.
Kind regards

We had the most delicious meal here. Great local ingredients prepared in interesting but not overly complex ways. I had chestnut pasta with rabbit ragu - yum! Lots of great local wines to choose from and all in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Staff were terrific. I’d be here all the time if I lived nearby. Love it.
Special family holiday celebrating 🥳 Birthdays, booked dinner at the ox and hound Bistro.
Wow what an amazing gem in Beechworth, food was soooo delicious, service was super attentive and friendly, could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you all at The Ox and Hound Bistro 💕 highly recommend.

Came here for a quiet dinner while in town for the weekend.
We booked on the day and were only able to get a 6pm sitting as it was a busy long weekend.
The food was tasty and I couldn’t fault anything except the duck fat potatoes which were soft. They should be crunchy.
The ambience in the restaurant was nice and the wine list was interesting with a lot of local choices.
We decided to skip dessert as the place was really quite pricey if you’re having drinks to accompany your food.
The spirits were very reasonably priced but the wine was crazy expensive.
It was a hot evening and the heat in the restaurant was pretty oppressive making us want to leave earlier than we ordinarily would.
But a pretty good experience overall. The eye fillet was a highlight.
Warm, food was fantastic, lovely friendly service, rigatoni with fennel, chilli & pork was magnificent. Flexible with children's orders. We really liked this restaurant.
Was excited to come here after looking at the menu as this was the 2nd option after my partner and I saw that Provenance was closed during the busy post-Xmas/New Year period. We shared an entree which was beautiful but decided to leave and have a more casual dinner at the Press Room as we got turned off that a glass of Pinot Noir was $18!
What a gem . Turned up late on Sunday night without a reservation and staff were welcoming and friendly . Food was fresh and exquisitely prepared . Highly recommended .
We enjoyed our meal here and more than a couple of drinks as it is conveniently located so that the hotel was in walking distance. The atmosphere was nice and cosy and we would happily go back.
Night Place for dinner. It was a birthday dinner for my partner and the staff kindly arranged for a candle on the dessert. Service and food are both excellent. I specially like the honey pannacotta! it was delicious! highly recommend this restaurant for travelers in Beechworth!
Beautiful food. Had the souffle for entrée was lovely and light well balanced with the salad. My wife and I also had the braised beef ribs and rabbit linguini. Both delightful. For dessert we had the creme caramel and the signature dessert. Our favourite was the signature which had a good blend of flavours and textures. Will come back again
Fabulously good food with locally brewed beer and regional wines in an intimate historic location. Beef rib with polenta was one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten. Desert of panna cotta, honeycomb and over cream was awesome. Do yourself a favour and go to this place. Service was also attentive, quick and friendly.
This is a cute little Bistro in the main street with genuinely friendly service. The meals were quick to arrive and the prices are as you'd expect for a bistro in town. The tomato and mozzarella starter was delightful and the gnocchi with white wine ragu is not what I'd ever expected as the ragu is more of a light broth, but delicious. The dessert specialty was nice but if i went back I'd choose something else. All in all, a nice place to dine.
Magnificently tender steak!!!! Staff were most accommodating and squeezed us in without a booking. Delicious pastas and bread! Great wine recommendations - will be back!
The dinner was very enjoyable. My wife had steak which was cooked to perfection. I had gnocchi which was terrific. The waiter we had was extremely attentive and very generous. He let us try an alternative wine after we selected a bottle. The cheese plate to finish was very good too.
Came here for dinner with my mother - the wait staff made us feel like VIPs, and the food was out of control. Wait wasn't too long, even for a Saturday night. Absolutely superb!
What a wonderful meal. Start was cheese soufflé with pear and walnut and then gnocchi with goat, and the gnocchi was superb. Finished with honey pannacotta and honeycomb. The service was excellent. All in all a great experience.
Fantastic food and the service was extremely friendly & helpful. The eye fillet is soft and luscious. The chocolate trio dessert was absolutely delicious. Will be coming back here again for sure.
What a great find! Staff are wonderful, coffee food and service great! Came back twice over the weekend! Definitely recommended!
Tasty and unpretentious with great service.

Quality Food & Fine Dining. We dined here on the weekend (I would suggest making a booking for long weekends) The service was exceptional, the menu is small (3 items) and a special, the meal prices are expensive (A steak will set you back $38, and pasta $28) expensive for the country. The warm olives for entrée are a real hit. I did ask our waitress for bread which she advised it would come out, but it never did, I wasn't sure if it was complimentary as I seen other tables receiving it, it would have been great to dip in the olive oil left over. The Gnocchi was very soft and fluffy, for main was $28 and I was a little hungry still afterwards only smallish serves. The steak was cooked per request but did have a little bit of fat on it. The real standout was the panacotta, I wont give too much away but you must order it, the flavours are exceptional. Wine prices are a over the top (approx. $15 a glass), dinner for 2 costed $160, was nice but very expensive for a few glasses of wine, 2 mains and 2 deserts and some olives. Would be a great meal for a special occasion.
3 of us had three perfect entrees; 3 cheeses risotto, pork terrine with pear relish and brioche and cheese soufflé with ox tail broth. Completely delicious. Then we each had medium rare eye fillet with portobello fricasse, sauce and mash. All identical, all perfect. Service was attentive and friendly. A great
little restaurant in a great little town.
Cannot recommend The Ox and Hound Bistro more highly, the service was magnificent and the meals to die for. The pannacotta, especially, was a favourite at the table.
Highly Recommended!. I had dinner last night with friends and the meal was beautiful. Sean the owner/chef is a great chef, like most small regional restaurants he was working on his own in the kitchen but that didn't mean we were waiting for food to come out. This was the best bistro meal I have had in a while, great ambiance, great wine list and the service was efficient and friendly. I can recommend anyone looking for a great meal in Beechworth to visit the Ox and Hounds.
Delicious. We recently enjoyed a very delicious meal at The Ox and Hound. The stand out was the chocolate mousse with pistachio and white chocolate crumble. It was DELICIOUS. The service was impeccable and all done with a smile. When in Beechworth I definitely recommend this restaurant for dinner.
Lovely meal. Two couples attended on a cold wintry night. The restaurant was packed, with just one table for 2 unoccupied by the time we left, and yet it was not noisy. The food was delicious. I had Slow Cooked Pork. We enjoyed two sides - lovely potatoes and perfectly cooked greens. The Chocolate Mousse dessert with Pistachio White Chocolate Crumb was to die for. Service was good. Wine by the glass is expensive - but it was good quality.
Busy, always a good sign. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff. TERRIFIC food, great wine selection. One of the rare dining experiences that enters into my book of Never Forgottens. Seasonally and regionally perfect menu. Thank you, staff and chef, you made our brief stay in Beechy! 5 stars, no quibble.
On. Point.
The Ox and Hound Bistro is a must visit if you are in Beechworth. Everything about this place is excellent. To the rustic decor and comfy seats, to the perfectly curated menu. I would highly recommend anyone who is in Beechworth to book ahead and enjoy this great experience. The food is delicious, and do yourself a favour by getting their signature honey dessert with the paired wine. You won't be disappointed. The service is timely and all the staff were an absolute pleasure to deal with. I will be returning and recommending this place to my friends. Thanks for a great dinner.
We really enjoyed the food but it was unfortunately under seasoned. A bit of salt fixed it but did not expect this faux pas when you are paying over $200 for an evening out. Perhaps the chef was having a rough day and all is forgiven. Very extensive wine selection and we enjoyed every bit.
Oh my gosh! Everything we had was delicious. Ambience was quite nice and service, lovely. We had the pork and chicken terrine to start and then I had a chestnut fettucine with rabbit and my partner had the risotto, we also had sides and a citrusy dessert. Would definitely recommend. The backroom can get a bit cold in the winter though but that's to be expected with old buildings.
