The Retreat Restaurant and Bar

Judges’ comments 2025:

This is a beautiful restaurant. The design features and style create an intimate dining space that elevates Geelong dining. The food is elegant and polished under the craftsmanship of Eli Grubb, each dish thoughtfully presented and delicious. There are options to choose how much you would like from the menu du jour- two courses, three, or four. Beautiful wines, local and international, from a wine list that is carefully curated. Worthy of a special occasion destination or a Friday night drop in, The Retreat offers a delightful dining experience.

Lunch 7 days, Dinner Thursday through Sunday, and coffees and pastries from 8AM on weekends. ‘Fromage et Vin’—cheese, light snacks and wine – served Thursday to Sunday, 3–5PM
