26.10.23Booked five nights here online for our Bairnsdale holiday. Really pleased with its location, only ten minutes (or less) walk to the huge RSL club and it's situation on Hwy 1 itself, so a simple drive east back into the town centre.
Ate at the RSL twice and had terrific meals each time, and even treated myself to a surprisingly huge bowl of Eton Mess desert ... yummy 😋
Breakfasted every day at the Classique Cafe, great ambience and a very satisfying large and affordable menu. Also had dinner across the road at the most memorable Vietnamese restaurant we've ever experienced, the Maison Sen's ... superlative decorations and furnishing, an exhaustive menu, and gorgeous food tho on the medium-to-expensive side.
Our final recommendation is for the Lantern Palace, a wonderful Chinese restaurant on the highway at east end of town. Very affordable and extensive menu with tasty food.
Our holiday wàs so relaxing, especially the day spent down in Paynesville sitting by the beach and water, watching boat traffic, but mainly taking pleasure in both watching and interacting closely with black swans.
Love being in Bairnsdale and will come back !
