Eclectic Tastes has been a favorite with Ballarat locals for more than 20 years, offering a refined yet welcoming café experience just moments from Lake Wendouree.
Set in a leafy part of Ballarat's Lake Wendouree, with free ample parking, Eclectic Tastes brings together contemporary design, polished service and a seasonal, produce‑driven menu. Guests can expect exceptional coffee, regional wines, boutique beers and dishes that highlight the best of local ingredients. During the warmer months, guests can also enjoy spacious outdoor dining beneath the shade of established trees or under elegant market umbrellas.
Owned and operated by Jane Miller, the café blends a touch of fine dining influence with an approachable, relaxed atmosphere. The menu evolves throughout the year, and the venue is fully licensed, making it ideal for brunch or long, leisurely lunches.
An adjoining retail space offers a thoughtfully curated selection of pantry items, artisan treats and beautifully packaged lifestyle products, including the popular Alive Body range, providing plenty of inspiration for gifts or take-home indulgences.
With options for private dining, intimate tables for two or group bookings of up to 12, Eclectic Tastes is perfectly suited to everything from a relaxed brunch to a business meeting. Free Wi‑Fi is available throughout, and bookings are recommended for weekends and larger groups.
