Andreas Gober, Executive Chef, preparing Sea Salt and Bellarine Olive Focaccia

Welcome to Nyaal Banyul A place for gathering and sharing, where every dish invites you to take a moment and discover the bounty of our region. Guided by the seasons, our menu highlights the fresh ingredients we have at our doorstep. We work hand-in-hand with local farmers and artisans who share our respect for the planet, sourcing produce that’s as fresh and vibrant as the landscape it comes from. Each plate showcases these lovingly grown ingredients, enriched with native flavours and paired with the latest culinary techniques and innovation. Often from carbon-neutral suppliers, these ingredients are ripe, full of life and deeply connected to Geelong and The Bellarine. Every dish we create threads a story of flavour, tradition, innovation and the powerful connection that brings people together.
