Enjoy a unique dining experience beneath the iconic Federal Mills smokestack.

Steeped in local history, the venue revitalizes a century-old boiler house that once powered the Mills. Inside, the past merges with the present as we serve top-notch, locally sourced modern Australian fare, featuring the freshest seasonal ingredients.

Think tapas-style small bites, and an array of wood-fired meat, seafood, and vegetables, all complemented by an exceptional drinks list, and a sommelier on hand to guide you.

With a stunning mezzanine, roof deck, and adjacent function space in addition to the main restaurant, the soaring conversion of the heritage-listed building is truly something else, and is perfect for intimate dinners, long-table celebrations, cocktail nights, and everything in between.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, they’re the perfect pit stop. Just a six minute drive from central Geelong, and with over 400 free car parks onsite, join in for a delicious lunch, dinner, or simply drinks and small bites.

Open seven days, from midday. Vegan and Gluten free options available.

Bookings recommended.
