Alium was a gastronomic delight! The food was both creative and refined. The wines recommended by the sommelier further enhanced the pleasure. The service was impeccable. Quoting Marie Kondo.. the dining experience sparked joy.

If you want an indulgent meal, showcasing local produce with personal service, all in a beautiful dining room, give it a try. Everything (except the fries) is made in-house. I don't usually give 5 stars, but the entire experience was awesome.

With two hats this is the place to dine in Bendigo, just opposite the fountain and close to main street. Previously a bank the heritage ceiling is stunning, as is the food of the feed me menu. . 🍞 Bread & butter 🦪 Oysters 🥢 Spiced pumpkin arancini / japanese curry / kewpie / furikake 🥩 Wagyu carpaccio / piperade / caperberry / banana shallot / wasabi snow 🍄‍🟫 Risotto / local mushroom / aged balsamic / grana padano 🥩🥔🥬 Roaring forties lamb backstrap with hassleback potato, watercress salad, Chimichurri 🍑 white peach sorbet 🍧 Oolong tea panna cotta / peach / nectarine jelly / verbena / apricot sorbet . Everything was good, but it was the lamb that was our favourite with that beautiful potato. The arancini was creative, but needed more sauce, the risotto size was perfect as part of a many course meal. Wrapping up with a palette cleanser and perfect oolong pannacotta. Service was excellent. A lovely place for date night . 🥩 @aliumdining 💵 Feed Me Menu 120pp + drinks 📍 Bendigo

From entry into the restaurant, sitting at the table and the service. Alium is 5 stars all the way. The waitress we had was on the ball, the service was actually quite exceptional all around. Cocktails devine, food delicious! Thank you

I absolutely love coming here. There's a terrific choice of food and price points. The wine is terrific and the meals are a carefully considered and thoughtful combination of textures and flavours. I especially love coming here as a solo diner as Nick and all of the staff are more than accommodating and so kind. Their cocktails that I've had are a tasty balance of sweet and sour. Last time I visited I had the carpaccio and risotto as a starter and the crispy duck bao as a main. Especially recommend the duck - the crispy outside is perfection! Thanks Alium!
