Empire Hotel Beechworth

Thanks Empire Hotel for a fantastic night. The service and food were amazing. I made a booking mistake and arrived with our party of 10 1 day late. The management were so gracious and opened up a section to accommodate us. We could not believe the quality of the food and Andy was a fabulous host and we had a lot of laughs. Highly recommend.

We came in for dinner tonight, absolutely blown away by the wonderful experience!
Super friendly and professional service

The staff were very accomodating to my severe allergy, making sure that I could still enjoy a great feed that was safe from contamination. (It’s rare to have my allergy this well managed, so grateful).

The food was sincerely the most delicious meal I’ve had in years, a happy coincidence!
I can absolutely recommend the tandoori lamb, pork belly, truffle fries, and green beans! So much flavour packed in with each dish along with nice presentation, thoroughly stoked with the experience and can’t wait to return.

The dining room was recommended to us by our host at our nearby accommodation and we're so glad that we followed it. The food was outstanding - with the scallop entree the highlight of the meal. We also enjoyed some lovely Beechworth wines. The service was friendly and efficient.

My wife and 2 young kids had the best experience here. I don’t usually leave reviews but felt like I should let others know how good the staff and owners were. The owner gave my 2 yr old son some cars to play with while waiting for his dinner, and offered to walk my baby in the pram around to help her get to sleep so that we could eat in peace. The food was great, I got the steaks and they were cooked perfectly. Would definitely go back here and highly recommend it for others, particularly with young families.

Sumptuous food, beautiful old building, the most warm and charming hosts and dog friendly!!! We absolutely loved everything on the menu - including a good range of vegetarian options!! The food was so delicious we went back again the very next night to try more dishes!!! All absolutely mouthwatering!!!

The staff were very happy to accommodate our little greyhound. There is a beautiful enclosed balcony with a stunning view of sunset and inbuilt heaters. We were so warm on a cold wet May evening, we had to take off our jumpers. Just a superb experience all round. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

This was a fantastic meal!
The restaurant is beautiful and staff super friendly. We set at the varanda and watched the sunset while enjoyed and well cooked meal with really fresh ingredients. They have great options of wine by the glass or many bottles to choose from. There were also some craft beers on tap and delicious cocktails.
I highly recommend the place for a chilled drink or a delicious meal. Best yet they are a very short distance from the town and the Beechworth lake. If you are staying at the hotel the location is perfect.

Amazing food, close to fine dining. Staff amazing and friendly. Don’t understand a couple of low reviews given here. Would certainly go back and recommend to others.

I recently visited the Empire Hotel in Beechworth with my two children, and I have to say we had an absolutely wonderful experience. We ordered the kid's burgers with chips and coconut prawns, and we were blown away by the quality and quantity of the food. The kid's burgers were huge and came with generous portions of fries, and the coconut prawns were cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The service at the Empire Hotel was also outstanding. The staff was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, I would highly recommend the Empire Hotel to anyone looking for a delicious meal and exceptional service in Beechworth.

In addition to the amazing food and excellent service, I also loved the cosy fire at the Empire Hotel. It created a warm and inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The toilets were also clean and hygienic, which is always a plus when dining out. Overall, the Empire Hotel in Beechworth exceeded our expectations in every way, and we can't wait to visit again soon. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone in the area looking for a great meal, cozy ambiance, and top-notch service.

We will definitely be returning on our next visit!

Not your average pub fare, this is high end dining. Sumptuous food, warm and inviting atmosphere and the owners go that extra mile. Would highly recommend if your visiting Beechworth to dine here.

Amazing!!
Food is phenomenal. Staff were amazingly attentive and went above and beyond. The wine list showcases quality wines and the cocktails are top notch. This place was faultless. Our only problem was that we hadn’t visited sooner! This place will become our regular.

Really top class service and food in an enjoyable atmosphere. We were made to feel very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed the curry. The flavours were so amazing and so we will definitely be back again for another dinner! Thanks!

New menu, food quality, taste and presentation is fantastic, the pub itself is cosy and the staff are very welcoming, you feel like it’s run by family.

Had a wonderful plate of sides. When we ordered the seasonal veggies and the barkeep mentions “good choice”. How right was she. We also had the lamb and some chips. Really good and sitting next to a nice warm fire rounded it off.

Dinner downstairs is a stunning room and we cannot recommend highly enough - absolutely BEAUTIFUL FOOD, wish we could have stayed to go for dinner another night, but will DEFS be returning on our next visit to Beechworth. AMAZING SERVICE. AMAZING FOOD.

My partner and I came in for dinner Wednesday night and had such a lovely time. The owners Scott and Andy are so lovey and I would highly recommend coming for dinner as the food is amazing.

My partner and I had the three-course meal and it was delicious. Each plate was very different and all the ingredients were well thought out and worked well together. Our server Laura was amazing! She was very knowledgeable on every aspect of the food and drinks menus and very attentive and personable. In short we had an enjoyable dinner and would definitely eat there again.

Visited there for a Sunday lunch with friends. The place was packed and took a while until we got our food served however the VERY friendly staff made every effort to make our waiting time as pleasant as possible.
Food quality was very good too.

Our Mothers' Day lunch for 3 adults and a toddler in the downstairs dining room was fantastic! Great service and amazing food in front of a cozy open fire. We will be back!
