Visited for lunch - thoroughly enjoyed the food. The service is wonderful, surroundings beautiful but the food is worth a visit. The seafood dish- crab with pea purée and garden vegetables was excellent, light and flavoursome.

An Outstanding Experience at Babae Ballarat! We had such a fantastic afternoon at Babae Ballarat, from the moment we arrived to the very last bite, everything was simply exceptional. The Bluestone Gougere we had to start was absolutely fab light, fluffy, and full of flavour. A perfect way to kick off the meal. But the real star of the show? The steamed pudding rich, warm, and comforting, it was one of the best desserts we’ve had in a long time. Truly unforgettable! The staff were equally impressive. Uni served us and was incredibly pleasant and attentive throughout the afternoon professional, friendly, and made us feel right at home. A special shoutout to Martin, who helped us with our booking,so helpful and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back again. Babae is a gem in Ballarat!

Had an extraordinary meal at Babae. A fun, passionate and modern venue for fine dining. Every dish was exquisite, perfect preparations, ingredients, and execution. The staff were excellent, responsive, and knowledgeable. The space is beautifully designed with the kitchen on display through the meal and lovely views out onto the heritage property. A real culinary gem! Don’t miss out.

Sensational! What a great job the team at Babae have done to create such a cosy, welcoming and luxurious experience. We dined for lunch and loved every dish (no exaggeration), but particularly the mushroom soup. It was innovative and fun to eat, every mouthful was slightly different. Timing between each plate was spot on, and we felt really satisfied by the time we finished dining. The service was friendly, attentive and professional. We loved learning about the design and inspiration behind the restaurant and hotel. This was one of the most enjoyable and valuable dining experiences. The Babae team should be really proud of what they’ve created - in my opinion, this is one of Victoria’s best restaurants!
