Best Live Music Restaurants in Torquay

Absolutely delicious food and friendly staff. Thoroughly recommend

Yassas has an electric atmosphere with delicious food and fantastic service—everything arrived promptly and was beautifully presented. The only downside was the music being a bit too loud, making it hard to have a conversation. I was sitting in the middle and the two people either side of me couldn't hear each other! Otherwise, it was a wonderful dining experience!

Honestly, the food here is worth travelling for, and I mean that. We are happy to make the 20 minute drive from a nearby coastal town to eat in or get takeaway the food is that good. A lot of thought has been gone into making and preparing each dish, which gives each one an individual character all of its own. The flavours are immersive and vibrant, with the perfect combination of spices to compliment the base component of each dish, be that meat, seafood or vegetable. The menu is accompanied by an interesting drinks list (which as the name suggests features whisky prominently) includes some interesting wine choices at reasonable prices. Combine all this with a venue accomodating several different spaces, and attentive and welcoming staff, and you have a restaurant with all the things to rival many of Melbourne's best credentialed Indian establishments. Believe me, this place is certainly worth the trip, if only it wasn’t just that bit closer.

I must say that I have been to this place several times and enjoyed the relaxed coastal vibe it has. This is largely due to the location which overlooks the Anglesea river, but also the old weatherboard building and covered veranda that comprise it. This makes it ideal to enjoy some of the yummy food, largely geared towards sharing, and accompanied by a refreshing drink. On Sundays there is the bonus of catching some fine local music as well, which on our visit featured the laidback tunes of the Beachniks. Now that is exactly how I would want to spend every Sunday afternoon.

Excellent food, prepared to a high standard, with live music adding to the total experience.
