Cat's Restaurant at Dimboola Golf Club, VIC

Tucked away in the modest clubhouse of the Dimboola Golf Club, Cat's restaurant offers a warm, unpretentious dining experience grounded in local produce, seasonal flair and native Australian ingredients. The ambience is relaxed and welcoming. Think rustic charm, vintage touches (op‑shop glassware, mixed furniture) and sweeping views over the golf course toward the Wimmera River.

The menu changes with the seasons, highlighting bush‑foods and creative twists with dishes such as gnocchi, duck, lamb, saltbush lamb sliders and desserts that foreground quandong, Davidson plum, lemon myrtle. The restaurant offers shared‑plates style Chef's Table lunches on Sundays, as well as dinner service later in the week.

In short, it's a place that feels both special and down‑to‑earth, where quality ingredients, hospitality and a sense of place come together for a memorable country dining experience.
