“ A spectacular dining experience. We chose lots of tapas, and shared plates and loved everything! Very attentive staff, (without being overbearing) provided excellent advice and suggestions. I highly recommend you dine here when you're in Bendigo. ”

“ We had a wonderful meal at Ms Batterhams. The staff were so attentive and looked after us very well through the night. The food was exceptional- high quality and a great use of native ingredients. The sourdough was amazing, couldn’t get enough to mop up the anchovy sauce. And the kangaroo dish was one of the best we’ve had! The larger groups did make it a bit noisy at the end of the night. ”

“ Had some business to do in Bendigo and came across Ms Batterhams restaurant. Quaint small restaurant with great atmosphere. Located in central Bendigo, in the heart of the Arts Precinct, MacKenzie Quarters has been lovingly restored to embrace its 145 year old history. LUNCH 12pm - 2.30pm (thursday-Sunday) DRINKS & bites 2.30pm - 5pm (thursday-sunday) EVENING 5pm - 11pm (Monday - sunday) We didn't have a booking, and the waitress found us a table for two. The menu is designed for sharing. Starting with tapas and then there are small plates and large plates to share. This suited us as we were not looking for a large meal. We ordered some tapas, and somehow, we were now hungry for more. The sourdough bread and whipped butter with black sea salt were to die for. The best bread I have had in a long time. Each plate we ordered was in small proportions, appealing and delicious. They say you eat with your eyes. The plates here were certainly eye appealing and delicious, they were delectable. We asked for a local chardonnay, but unfortunately, there wasn't a local chardonnay on the menu. We ordered one from Macedon, which did not disappoint. The wait staff were friendly and attentive, and nothing was too much for them. This was a great find and should we need to visit Bendigo again we will return. ”

“ I love technique and presentation. They combined international cuisine. My favorite is octopus tapas. Octopus cooked very well and good to eat with chili and potatoes. Also I love presentation of kingfish crudo. Fresh fish feel refreshing when we ate with rhubarb vinaigrette. Thank for great experience in first visit Bendigo ”

“ Celebrated my birthday here and we had the chef menu. Food is yummy but the portion could have been bigger. Or maybe I’m just really a big eater. Overall, the experience was still good. ”

“ MS BATTERHAMS – 10 Mackenzie Street, Bendigo I am a big fan of Bendigo. It is a beautiful town with a vibrancy to it. There is also some good food to be enjoyed and Ms Batterhams is now the number one choice in the town after getting to experience it earlier this week. Located in Mackenzie Quarters the setting is beautiful and you feel good being there. A warm welcome was received as we arrived and I have to say the team looking after us were just superb. Our main server was a local lass who beamed with pride as she spoke about her hometown. It genuinely added to the experience. Let’s talk about the food, because it is very very good. The approach is share plates which is my favourite way to dine. You get to try it all. We began with Croquette de elote with chipotle mayo (order one each at least) . The creaminess of the filling was melt in your mouth good and the flavour just delicious. Saltbush cauliflower was served with a scorched eggplant, and medjool date puree with toasted pepitas. The cauliflower was tender and full of taste and the puree was a surprise treat. It was an unusual blend of flavours but they certainly work together. I love a saganaki but am fussy about it because I have had some of the very best. Ms Batterhams got their offering just right with perfectly fried cheese accompanied by a honey and muscatel dressing and, on this evening, some caramelised figs. Absolutely delicious.. The fish of the day was splendidly grilled Ling with a smoked harissa and tomato sauce that tickled your tongue in the nicest of ways. We paired the fish with roasted kipfler potatoes served with piquillo peppers and chipotle mayo. It was a wonderful way to round out the mains. Thankfully there was room for dessert and my partner enjoyed a beautiful Brulee whilst I indulged in a very naughty but nice Pavlova with poached plums and raspberries accompanied by a saffron and honey ice cream that was as smooth as silk. Ms Batterhams is definitely worth the trip to Bendigo. You can take in the sights and sounds of the town while you are there but, make sure you enjoy a fabulous meal in a gorgeous setting. ”

“ We stopped into Ms Batterhams as part of the Bendigo Taco Trail — and while we were too full to do the full dinner experience, what we did try was absolutely incredible. Their take on tacos? Packed with flavour. The oysters? Fresh and beautifully presented. And the house sourdough with cultured butter… divine. Paired it all with a couple of gorgeous wines from their list and honestly didn’t want to leave. Such a stunning, intimate space with great energy and even better food and wine. Can’t wait to come back and do it properly next time! ”

“ We’ve been coming back to this gorgeous restaurant for years now. The service is second to none, the food is spectacular and that wine list !! ”
