Restaurants, cafes and producers

Savour the flavours of Benalla and beyond

Indulge in Benalla’s rich food culture, where fresh local produce meets genuine country hospitality. From relaxed cafés and welcoming eateries in town to character‑filled village pubs just a short drive away, every meal tells a story of place.

Venture into the surrounding countryside to uncover much‑loved gems such as the Tudor‑style Tatong Tavern and the iconic Thoona Pub, both serving hearty, unpretentious meals with a warm country welcome. Travel the North East Victoria Silo Art Trail and be rewarded with memorable dining stops at the Goorambat Railway Hotel or the Devenish Hotel—where good food, friendly faces and classic pub atmosphere go hand in hand.

On the fourth Saturday of each month, the Benalla Lakeside Craft and Farmers Market comes alive on the foreshore of Lake Benalla. Stalls overflow with seasonal produce, artisan foods and handmade delights, all lovingly grown and crafted across north east Victoria.

For true food lovers, no visit is complete without sampling Little Cedar Goat Cheese. This local favourite showcases the region’s passion for quality, offering beautifully crafted products made from locally sourced ingredients.

Whether you’re grazing at a market, lingering over a pub lunch or discovering a local producer, Benalla invites you to slow down, savour the moment and enjoy food that’s proudly local.
