Once the home of Dame Nellie Melba, Coombe Yarra Valley is a property with an unrivalled provenance. Seven acres of stunning gardens and beautifully appointed facilities in the restored motor house and clock tower offer a truly unique gourmet and cultural experience.

Located within the restored motor house and historic clock tower and under the helm of Chef Neil Cunningham, our restaurant serves Contemporary Modern Australian a la carte menu options.

An inspiring selection of seasonal and estate grown produce is on offer for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea 5 days a week.

The restaurant is modern, spacious yet intimate and overlooks the landscaped market-style courtyard of the beautifully restored facilities. The view from the conservatory is of the Coombe cottage garden ‘avenue’ and gives glimpses of the oldest swimming pool in Victoria.

    Overall a good meal though main courses perhaps sitting a while before being brought to the table and a little dry. Wait staff pleasant and competent on a busy day. Excellent guide to the garden.

    We had a party of 6 for lunch.Although a little pricey the food actually far exceed our expections.The service was good with everyone very accommodating to our needs.My only criticism is that you need to have a jacket ad it was a little cold. I would highly recommend Coombs.

    We hadn't been to Coombes for a while - but it was as good as it ever was. The service, the food, the drinks were all wonderful. Some of our table had the 3 courses and some had the 2 courses, but either way everyone loved their food. The peach melba desert being an absolute hands down winner from all of us. I also had the beef rib and it was amazing. The guys who had Barramundi loved it. Its also great having a mid range choice of wine and high end options, it makes the entire meal cost easier - so well done. However and we've had this before - I love that you put people against the window, its lovely it feels more private for the table, and views, however I'm always freezing. I wanted to move but one of our party finds that a very uncomfortable thing to do, so I was left freezing on my left side only to find out later, so was my husband (on his right side as he was opposite). I remembered this from another time, and thats why we used to request NOT to sit against the window. (but I didn't remember until we were already been there a little while). I have no doubt that we could have moved, so this isn't Coombes fault, but I wish they could fix this aircon situation.

    Hi Kay, I am happy to hear that your visit was as good as ever on your return to Coombe! I will pass along the feedback to the management team regarding the air-conditioner to review. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future!

    Fabulous experience. Food and service was excellent. Didn't like the music they were playing but that was a personal preference.
