Interesting thanks Iain.
Speaking of eating in our area, we were convinced to go to the Nicholson Pub for Chinese last night as it was said to be good. It wasn’t!
Utter crap in fact!

We won't go back there, The Retreat I think it is called, a pity it has been let go as it has great potential being on the river.
Another questionable place (or two), Lakes Entrance RSL, very basic and another club, could be the sports club with some shocking wannabe Asian food, the Bowls Club wasn't bad though and a pub on the waterfront was good but I can't recall the name.
Probably closer to you, Bullant Brewery (Bruthen) puts on a good meal when we have been up there.
Big pub in the main street in Bairnsdale with the pokies has some good meals at times, we have stayed there and it wasn't too bad, never tried the one near the river opposite the park.
The Thai at the yacht club in Paynesville was nice but most places there are quite good.
The pub in Stratford is one place I will not go to again, possibly one of the worst meals I have had, a microwaved supermarket lasagne served with chips and tomato sauce, very vomit worthy.

Gael lost her sister Joyce yesterday and neither of us felt like cooking so we went to the Terminus for tea.
I’ve seen “Sliders” on the menu in this country only twice and wanted to try them.
We chose sliders as a shared entree with a bowl of the best beer battered chips you’ve ever tasted.
Gael had the pulled pork and I had the beef & chicken. They were all yummy! The brioche buns were soft and perfect for the job.
The pork had a tasty chutney flavouring, the beef, slices of pickle and a nice sauce and the chicken was crispy and on a bed of tangy coleslaw. We will be having them again!
With the chips this is certainly a meal for one but last night we shared the sea food plate too. The beer batter on the fish came through as tasting of beer and sweet, lovely fish in fact. There was a separate bowl of mussels cooked in a sauce that was basically Mediterranean but you could taste the individual flavours in the sauce which to me is the sign of a good chef.
All very fresh!
We had a fantastic meal for $55 for 2 and the waitress was great (and cute), so if you are travelling through our fair city and want a good meal, I can certainly recommend the Sliders to you.
