Clovelly Restaurant & Bar

Stayed in a room here and went to dinner in the restaurant.
The restaurant can stand on its own with great food and staff that are friendly and helpful.
We had Lamb backstrap and a Ribeye.
Lamb backstrap was cooked perfectly with lots of flavour. Large piece of lamb that is sure to fill anyone!
The Ribeye (450g) was huge and was cooked exactly the way requested. Lovely char flavour with great crust, tender quality meat! The spuds that came with steak were sensational!
Next time we are in Warrnambool we will not hesitate in going here for dinner again!

Best food in Warrnambool.
Every dish is yummy. I love their beef chunk bun and lamp shank, they are so good.

Visited restaurant on 20th Sept 2023 after visiting the twelve apostles and staying overnight before driving off

Good service, food, and ambiance. Highly recommended.

10/10 great food, friendly staff, good atmosphere.
Upon arrival the interaction with staff was a little awkward (we were majorly underdressed as we just came back from beach)
We ordered a Shiraz (clay-something from the Grampians,can’t remember the name, beautiful flavours) trio dip, Mexican bowl and rare rib eye steak.
The capsicum and garlic hummus stood out the most to us with the dips, very balanced flavours, the garlic was a little strong but perfect for garlic lovers.
The steak flavours were perfect, Smokey flavour, moist meat and the only constructive criticism I have is the meat was a little over cooked for rare.
The Mexican bowl perfectly incorporated all of the spices especially with the dip on the side.
The atmosphere was a perfect balance between relaxed casual and something more fancy, gives off that family run, classic Aussie vibe while also keeping it professional, keeping customers feeling relaxed and well looked after.
if we’re ever around the area we’ll definitely be dropping by again.
Thanks for the great food.

Great food (fish of the day and Mexcan bowl) served by a very bubbly waitress The sow and piglet pale ale is a nice beer at $12 a pint. The breakfast this morning was very good and served individually which is great in the current covid climate as you dont know what bugs are on the spoon in these self help breakfasts

During COVID, the setup was rearranged and looks clean and uncluttered - minimalism at its best - very COVID safe. I dined here a few times while staying in Warrnambool. I was informed that they just changed their menu, and any feedback was appreciated.

The Chefs Johnny and Bryce, accompanied by apprentice chef Mario will surprise you with their plating, food combinations and tasty selections.

The entrees/firsts/starters - were enough to keep me pleasantly happy for most of my stay. Prices varied from $10 - $16, which is very reasonable; servings are on the generous side.

Recommendations: [Favs - 2, 4 & 6]
1. Garlic Cheese Sourdough - reminded me of a toastie. It goes great with beer!
2. Charcuterie Board - not boring, or same as others you receive - the beetroot chutney and chicken pate were the standouts. The cured meats - some not to my liking, but overall nice. The dried fruits went well with the chutney and dip - especially the apple.
3. Lamb Cutlets - interesting, modern presentation, with roasted cherry tomatoes, minted yoghurt and dukkah. Cutlets cooked to perfection.
4. Stuffed Mushrooms - yummy goodness - beetroot chutney, roasted pumpkin, garlic, pine nuts, thyme and spinach. [Perfect meal the night before driving long distances - not heavy].
5. Bao Buns - soft buns, not dry, thinly sliced pork belly [easier to bite], sticky sauce and amply dressed slaw - went well with the mushrooms [no.4] and a beer.
6. Seared Scallops - tried as a main, but this version was better - sweet potato mash, asparagus spears with small pieces of crunchy onion, feta and lime dressing. This was so tasty and my meal of the Warrnambool trip.

Honourable mentions - the pannacotta - give it it a try - perfect wobble accompanied with cream, but not sure about the sugar shard...Flavours change - be surprised! The churros were good, but the pannacotta was better.

Book a table [highly recommended, as they were booked out when I was there] and try and get the window seat to watch the incredible sunsets. It is one of the best 'on-the-road dining experiences I have had in a while. YUM!

Classic little restaurant right on the corner, also a part of Best Western here in Warrnambool, Australia. Good service, scrumptious fodder, adequately priced. Across the street from the Visitors Center so it’s impossible to miss. Must try are the ribs!

Delicious food just by Best Western motel. Presentation was great, the food was rich and fresh and the wait staff were very welcoming. Would love to come back!

I'd like to start by saying thank you for taking our booking under such short notice and making space for us, the owners were very friendly and accommodating.
The steak was super tender and I had the waffles for dessert and they were delicious.
Would definitely recommend this place!

Excellent food and great service. Had the braised lamb, bbq beef ribs and sticky date pudding. All cooked really well and the meat was melt in your mouth good. Highly recommend

Fantastic vegan options (tacos, Vietnamese bowl, Courgette pasta) and very friendly staff

The food was delicious and enjoyed by all. Cozy atmosphere. The owner got my young son to help her put out plates while the adults finished an interesting conversation, really appreciated it.

"Accidentally" ate here cause other restaurants were closed but it was a happy accident. Food was delicious, prawns and steak were really good and sticky date pudding was especially yummy. Extremely friendly and kind wait staff. Overall great experience

I have always thought that Raj has been Fabulous here.
But unfortunately he was away today with the dreaded Man Flu.
The Wonderful Courtney has stepped up to the plate and has done a Fantastic job today managing both the Motel and Restaurant side of things.
Welldone Courtney!

Had a great meal here, service was friendly and attentive all in a relaxed cosy dining room. Highly recommended!

My favourite place to dine when in Warrnambool. Had the mussels for starters and the rib eye as a main. Very satisfied with my meals. The steak was done medium rare as I ordered, and it paired well with the steak veggies and mash potato. Wanna give a special shout-out to the wait staff; great light conversation and was well served during the night.

My husband and I went to Warrambool for a weekend away, we decided to have dinner at the Cloverlly, i must say it was a great experience, the food is amazing and the atmosphere was delightful.

Very cozy and friendly restaurant. Food is delicious, especially seafood share plate and cheesecake.

Highly recommend! I had a lovely dinner when here for work. Friendly staff and great food. Cute vibe.

Absolutely fantastic service and food from this high caliber restaurant.
Would highly recommend!
