El Gordo - Bendigo

Had breakfast (scrambled eggs) was good. Service and coffee also acceptable. I will be back to try their lunch menu next time we are in Bendigo. Also is dog friendly in the lane which was fantastic.

Eight of us for lunch. The staff coped brilliantly with this number. A range of Croquettes, salads, anchovies and lots of Rose . Thoroughly enjoyable experience

Always enjoyed this cafe but have found lately menu very limited And it’s quite a bit pricey Dont like the surcharge on card even eftpos not good As I have said very limited menu not as good as it was Sadly could not recommend

We decided to drop in here for lunch prior to going to the art gallery. It was easy to find and while we were sitting outside in winter the heaters provided plenty of warmth. We shared a mixture of tapas and sandwhiches, all of which was of great quality. Particularly loved the sourdough, olive oil and tomato/garlic sauce combination. The table olives were of great quality too. Service was prompt and very helpful

A couple of years ago I moved to Bendigo and my dreams came true... it's a city of vibrant cafes, interesting places to visit and events. I have since had to move on due to employment changes, but I recall those 7 months I lived there with such fondness as I explored everything the city had on offer. I had stopped here for coffee on my way to work a few times when I lived there, the customer service was always exemplary. Recently I visited Bendigo and caught up with a friend for lunch... I suggested this cafe- she had never, as a local, been to it AND that is a bit of a travesty. But now... she would return. We both found the customer service to be outstanding which has been the norm for this business), the waiter who was utterly brilliant talked us through our choices... She was way more adventurous with her choices than I was. Located in Chancery Lane this business is something quite special. ღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღღ
