Delicious lunch today at the GPO Bendigo. We were in town from Melbourne for a conference and were very pleasantly surprised with the lunch specials at GPO. We enjoyed Pork Belly and Zucchini and Corn Fritters and both meals were delicious, and left us wanting more!

Great venue but customer service lets it down. There never appears to be a manager or senior staff member around. It feels like a place where people work as a job not profession. Food is good but service is hit and miss.
We really enjoyed ourselves at GPO on a very busy Saturday night.
The variety of options on the menu made it hard to choose! Two serves of oysters for entree, backed up by a huge eye fillet and paella pan gave us very full bellies - but we did manage to fit in the dessert tasting platter!
Plenty of drinks on offer as well, including an impressive range of Victorian boutique beers.
The staff were friendly and very attentive. They handled an issue with their register system well, making sure we weren't kept waiting too long.
Did well to accommodate a group of 8. Ordered the tapas/pizza deal for $30 per head and was great value for money. 4 tapas meals and 3 pizzas. All were very good quality and delicious. Cocktails were pretty good too and despite not having quite enough staff working, those that were there did a great job, especially Sam. Well worth a visit.
Has beer at the GPO. Black bug in top. Taste good. Beer, not so much.
I'm liking inside. Lighting make happy. Remind me of mother home. All heil Putin.
I must admit my last visit to the GPO was over a year ago, but at the time i wasn't sure what to expect, i was told they get very busy (this was after NYE). We managed to get ourselves a nice little high table.
The service was great, very friendly people that served us. The iced coffee was pretty good, very impressed by simple things like putting a very long spoon in a tall glass, (some venues can't even get that right, having to dive for your spoon is no fun).
The Decor is modern and interesting enough to keep you entertained visually.
The food i'd have to say was fantastic, i could't say there was a bad bite amongst any of the tappas we ordered, from the Crispy Pork Belly bites, Corn and Zucchini fritters to the Sliders and Patatas Bravas. Will be back to see if they've kept up with the quality.
Nice space. Sat in the mezzanine area which is a good spot. Service was good. Brisk and pleasant. The coffee was certainly tasty but had far too much froth. A shame.
Great food, average service, the two are a bit disconnected. The wait for my meal was over an hour and my latte was sitting on the counter in view for 4-5 minutes before being served luke warm. I'd go back as the food was great but they need to improve their overall delivery.
I love this place, the atmosphere is trendy and social. I've been here on three occasions and couldn't complain about any of the food. Ordered the beef tacos, arranchini balls, pork belly, dessert tasting platter and a large plate of calamari. The pork belly is an absolute must. The service isn't amazing but its also not something to complain about. Perfect destination for a child free date night
Great Food at GPO. Recently having a tour to Bendigo and tried the GPO. Food was very well presented, tasty and nothing to complain on. Portion size may not be huge but we are not big eater. Pricing is not overly expensive and general atmosphere is nice. Staff are very friendly and very welcoming. Great place to go.
We had Amazing experience at GPO. Food is awesome. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We were have received extraordinary service, even after kitchen closed she arranged us dessert with happy face. The arrangement at courtyard was really amazing for larger groups. Will come back there again for sure. Keep it up GPO
Delicious food and great service. We had the scallops, corn fritters, chips, pumpkin salad and the slow cooked lamb pizza. All were fabulous and piping hot. We were there on a Friday lunchtime and only 4 or so tables occupied which may explain the great service. Would definitely visit again on next trip to Bendigo.
Decided to do try out some of the choices on the tapas menu! So delicious! Will definitely be back when I’m in Bendigo next!
Nice and cosy with great food. The scallops are a must such great flavour. Steak was cooked to perfection. Loved the vibe.
We really enjoy our whole experience at the GPO. The food was great and the service was excellent. Our party included 2 adults and a 7yo child. As soon as we were seated the waitress brought coloured pencils and an activity sheet to the table for Miss 7, who was thrilled (and happily occupied with colouring the whole time). The kids menu is great, with actual real food for kids!
We had pizzas and they were an excellent size and delicious. Great selection of drinking and decent pricing. We can highly recommend the GPO and were so happy with the service from all staff we encountered on the night.
