They say never judge a book from its cover! well this place is quite unattractive but once you step inside, things change. Wood fires, great service, great everything! give it a try and you won't regret a thing.

looks a bit rough from the outside but its lovely on the inside with nice warm fires and the staff are very friendly. i loved the salt and pepper squid and their fettachini is also amazing!

I have passed here again and again for years meaning to call in, then they seemed to shut down. On opening again it had been refurbished so I was told yesterday (friday Lunch), with a new Kitchen and other things throughout the bar and Dining room's.

There is always a sign out front when it is open and they are only Closed on a Sunday and Monday.

On first walking in I felt the ambiance of this amazing little bar with its canara firebox with the flame's and also one again in the main Dining room. In the Bar, off to the side there is a Lovely little Bay sort room with a few tables and chair for drinkers its just Gorgeous and so cozy, sitting around the aged Bar is heaps of seating that also looked to be comfy high legged high backed chairs. Hanging around the bar is a beautiful collection old steins and mugs. The place as soon as you walked through the door had this incredible feel of walking back in time.
We then were asked if we wanted to sit at the bar or guided into the dining room. That room again had a beautiful feel and a firebox with lovely lighting, enough to eat by.

We were told about the specials by a waitress who really knew her stuff as it was lunch we decided to have a main to share as I had been sick beforehand and couldn't eat much anyway. One of the specials was beef cheeks with an amazing gravy, gnocchi and Brussels tops? OMG YUMM. I had always wanted to try beef cheeks anyway and what a way to begin. The meal was just SO good and we didn't want to leave a bite, we then asked the waitress for bread? so as not to leave any gravy, she then popped a homemade rosemary, garlic and Olive oil bread in the oven for us that should have been a started.
We were So impressed with this hotel that I am going to be making it my fav in Bendigo and would encourage anyone form near and far to try it when you visit our town.

The chef cooks everything herself from scratch, nothing is warmed, reheated, frozen apart from the necessary. It is well worth the wait for your meals, as they have had a few bad wraps before. But Seriously, If you want Fast food, go to maccas.

The Mount Edgecombe Hotel has So much history in Bendigo and the staff are happy to talk to you about it. It was a grocer/bar feeding all of the gold miners in town way back when the diggings were in town.

The meals you may think are a little on the pricy side, but what would you put on a good steak? I didn't see much on the menu above $30, Children's menu was $9.

They have a curry night on Tuesday night's for $17 and you can get to try a little of everything so I'm told, so I will be attending a few of those.

They have dining event's, so it might be a good idea to check the board when passing by. Upcoming....(check the date of this post), There is Lamb week up and coming and I'm a Huge fan of our Aussie lamb that is very hard to find served in Bendigo.

My personal Fav Pub/Bar is the Mount Edgecombe Hotel and I hope to see you all there at some stage.

Keep an eye out for their Facebook page when it is up and running as I'm sure there will be a what's happening @.
I know I will be.

Cheers My Friends. Come and Join me there for a drink.

The bistro menu has changed and now has a lot of 'fancier' meals, so if you are looking for a standard menu pub meal you probably won't get it! Nevertheless our meals tasted great. The long wait to be served and to have our meals brought out and then our empty plates cleared, was the only downside to our evening.
