Take it slow… Have a drink to start. Enjoy a cocktail, local wine or craft beer, Share a snack or two in our dedicated Bar.
Smell the delicious smokiness of Bendigo’s only dedicated steakhouse & grill, where we use local redgum on the grill; there’s nothing quite like the flavour of meat cooked over redgum. The natural smoky flavours and aromas created by this unique timber are something truly special. In the finest tradition of steakhouses, we use locally sourced meat and the very best in fresh, regional produce.

Showcasing 350 wines, including 28 by the glass, including some seriously interesting wines curated by our inhouse Sommelier. With local wines taking pride of place, including some intriguing European offerings, plus a supporting cast of spirits, beers and other beverages, including a decent alcohol-free selection. Cocktail drinkers will be impressed with our seasonally curated list.

Our menu is updated seasonally and available on our website.

    Steak was definitely well under cooked for medium. My husband and I weren’t able to eat at least half of our steaks each because of this.

    Hi Elli, Thankyou for your review. We are very sorry that your steak was under cooked. We would so much rather you tell us on the night so we can recook or cook you a new steak. It would be the best outcome for us all. We defiantly don't want you to leave unhappy. so please next time if its not right ask for it to be cooked more. Merry Christmas Kind regards The Woodhouse Team.

    Tables very close hard to have a private conversation. My wife ordered her steak medium to well done but it was more medium rare. How ever it was a nice steak.

    Today’s lunch is the second time we have eaten at the woodhouse and while the meals were very good the menu hadn’t changed in that time. It would be nice if the meals are providing seasonal rates that the menu could change in that time.

    Seemingly happy until the steaks arrived I convinced my partner to have a medium cooked steak as recommended, I always have a medium to rare steak. When the steaks arrived my steak was medium and clearly my partners was medium rare. Obviously the steaks were mixed up somehow. I truly expected this not to happen in such a well-renowned steakhouse. Yes I was disappointed with it.

    The Woodhouse is always an absolute gourmet dining pleasure. Service is impeccable. Food is beautifully presented and delicious. Every dish on the degustation menu is a tasteful joy. The Porterhouse steak was unctuous and served with a gorgeous buttery lettuce and radicchio salad, with choice of mustards. Loved the apple sorbet with finger lime and strawberry soup. The sumptuous desserts! Heavenly! We enjoyed last night’s dining experience with the Woodhouse Martini.
