Came here for dinner as a present from my daughter and the service was just amazing. An artisan dinner with lots of local products that really made this meal enjoyable. The wait staff couldnt' be more lovely. Enjoyed the pear cider, big bottles and poured onto crushed ice, delicious. I particularly enjoyed the artisan bread and olives on the antipasto dish

My husband and I were invited to a Wedding and Reception at Montsalvat and found it to be very luxurious. It is very old wordly and from the outside looks like a massive big mansion of olden times.

There is plenty of room inside for guests. Food and service was great.

Beautiful setting located at the romantic artist's retreat of Montsalvat. This place is great for lunch, dinner or just a coffee and cake.

We had our wedding ceremony in the upper gallery and the staff were great. They provided disabled parking and assistance to those guests who needed it. We had intended to have our ceremony outdoors but due to bad weather had to move it indoors at the last minute. The staff allowed us multiple entries to the venue to test music equipment and rehearse.

Approximate cost: $650

The trip to Montsalvat was another of our usual day trips. We wanted to look at this artists' community plus, eat at the cafe and look around the grounds.
Montsalvat is set in Eltham, so think bushland, trees and hills. The old building is grand and dining outside is a treat. We had nice sunny weather and our little boy was able to walk around and wonder at the roaming peacock.
The cafe has a foodie reputation, meaning large plates and small, small, small meals. You need to order a few things if hungry. While I thought that the food was inventive, it didn't quite gel. There are better meals but the setting isn't as quaint.
After our meal, we thought of looking through the grounds but thought better of it after seeing the admission prices. In the end, we're glad about visiting but the food was so-so and the price of entry is just a little too high.

Approximate cost: $50+
