Dine in elegant splendour at historic Gold Mines Hotel on Marong Road in Bendigo. Built in 1872 and representing the height of prosperity during the gold rush years, this beautifully restored hotel boasts fretworked verandahs, one of Bendigo's oldest gardens, a courtyard and private dining options. A warm and welcoming ambience awaits indoors, where a rich colour palette, intimate table settings and a seasonal menu offers modern dining while remaining faithful to some of the pub's roots. Start with treacle and whiskey smoked ocean trout with avocado and hemp puree, beetroot, pink grapefruit, horseradish, beach bananas and linseed cracker; before delving into crispy-skinned pork belly with a ham hock croquette and pickled peach, sugarloaf cabbage salad, peat and mint, pork and cider jus.
