Oscar's Hotel

Oscars in Ballarat is a lovely place to catch up with friends, especially for a relaxed weekend brunch. The space is warm and inviting, with plenty of room for groups, and they make things easy by offering split payments—a big plus when dining with a crowd. The cocktails were excellent, well-made and thoughtfully presented. They added a fun, celebratory touch to the morning and were definitely one of the highlights of our visit. While the overall experience was great, I did order a pizza that unfortunately fell short—it was a bit dry and lacked the bold flavor I was hoping for. That said, the rest of the menu looked appealing, and I’d love to come back and try something different next time. The service was friendly and efficient, and the vibe was laid-back and comfortable. Oscars is a solid pick for brunch or a casual get-together, with plenty of charm and good drinks to enjoy along the way.

Best breakfast I have eaten for a long time. Great gluten free and vegan options. They took great care to ensure my breakfast met my dietary needs. My eggs were beautifully cooked and the vegetables were so fresh and delicately prepared. Just beautiful food.

Location was easy to find in the heart of Ballarat. Very busy restaurant with a great atmosphere. Service was good though we waited quite a long time for our meal. I'll put this down to the fact that they were very busy. When the food came though it was very nice. I had the chicken tagliatelle and it was delicious. My wife had the parma and it was huge and she said it was very nice too. Highly recommend Oscar's
