Wild Wombat Cafe & Bar

I have been to Wild Wombat a number of times now and as yet have not been disappointed. Being from South Yarra, I have high expectations and I originally scoffed when told by a friend of mine that there is a nice little restaurant that provides fine dining that rivals many great restaurants around Melbourne.

The first time I went I was blown away by the menu. I went back again and had the same thing as originally which was a Pesto Prosciutto Chicken and it was fantastic once again. I have been back many more times and tried breakfast and lunch but the menu for dinner is marvellous as always.

I did go once on a Saturday a few weeks ago and I must admit there was a waitress that was a bit dull and had no enthusiasm. Never the less, I had a good time and the meal was great.

Wild Wombat is small but homely, dinner service is great, it can be a bit cold at times during winter, the coffee is of high standards and the pricing is just right. I will be back again and again and will recommend Wild Wombat to many people. It just goes to show with the right owners you will find little restaurants like Wild Wombat and many others that aren't just in the city or Southbank.

Funky cafe on the edge of Hurstbridge. Great food, great managers and a warm and welcome feel. Came down with friends and we had nachos, whiskey truffles, coffees and hot chocolates and it was fast service, good value and very hospitable as well as being very tasty. We stayed and chatted as you just feel comfortable staying on and enjoying all that it has to offer. Has become our favourite cafe...so we will definitely be back.

The moment you walk into this cafe you realise that it is anything but 'wild'. The Manager greets you at the door, which is a VERY rare thing in this modern, busy world and the initial ambience is warm and welcoming. Having had both hot chocolates and coffees in various cafes around the world, I have to say that The Wild Wombat's are superb....even to the point of being one of the best. So too are their offerings of cakes and biscuits....all homemade and all delicious. The Chocolate Custard Slice and Brownies especially so. Muffins are made on-site which is also rare....and along with the cakes are a good end to one of the light meals on the cafes menu. And....it's fully licensed....but not for the rowdy crowd.....more for the laid back, enjoy your drink with a meal or after work wind down crowd. The Wild Wombat and it's friendly managers really are a treat and a very welcome addition to Hurstbridge. Welcome team!!
