Cafe Lumiere wins fans for its warm, inviting French vibe, whether youre tucked inside its cosy cafe or relaxing outdoors under umbrellas with heaters and gentle French music. Reviewers love the friendly, attentive service, great value for money and the charming spot just by the Bendigo Art Gallery, making it a perfect stop for lunch, a date or a celebration like Mothers Day.
Menu highlights that get repeated praise include the beef bourguignon, duck confit, chicken dishes, quiche lorraine, salad de poulet, French onion soup, creme brulee and delicious pastries. The coffee is consistently rated highly, and the French wine list, including Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir, is a hit. Many note prompt service, a great atmosphere and a lovely all-round experience.
