Perfect evening We boarded the Q Train at Drysdale on 2nd February 2018. What an unique treat we were in for! The train, staff, food and wine all excellent. Loved all the Degustation Menu. We are locals so I was very happy everything is sourced around the Bellarine. It’s a train for adults not for children they would hate it.

great experience its a must do ,good food ,great staff and fantastic view . just one thing they should add tea or coffee at the end of the meal

Amazing experience We celebrated two birthdays and were not disappointed. The food was amazing and the service excellent. I would recommend a daylight trip either lunch or on a summer night to take full advantage of the scenery.

Fantastic Night Out The Q Train was a really fun night out. The food was lovely and it was nice to see the scenery going past. Half of the trip was in darkness as we went in autumn, would consider going at height of summer to get a bit more of the view! Staff were very attentive.

Birthday Celebrations We went with another couple to celebrate the wives Birthdays. Booking was easy and from the moment we arrived we knew we were in for a special night. The train is a little crowded but it makes it very cosy. Would suggest going earlier in the year so you can see more towards Queenscliff.

Food was excellent and presentation perfect.

Being able to get off and stretch your legs and take photos was a bonus.

Staff offering to take your photo on the red carpet as you arrive is a nice touch.

First Class would be a romantic option for two.

Highly recommended trip.

Fantastic food and lovely summer trip Traveled from Queenscliff on the Q Train. Great way to spend a leisurely afternoon with great local food and wine whilst viewing the Bellarine countryside in full summer. The variation of wet lands with birds, vineyards and rolls of collected hay make a pleasant panorama to enjoy over lunch. Cannot recommend the trip enough. We did lunch but it is also available for dinner. Coming from Melbourne we had the choice of going down the Geelong road or taking the Ferry from Sorrento. We went by road as January coastal traffic would have been frightful to go to Sorrento. Wonderful day out

Fantastic experience We travelled on the lunchtime journey today. It was a unique and most enjoyable experience.

Matthew was a great host who was happy to meet your every request and Nathan and Sarah did a great job with the food.

Would thoroughly recommend the first class experience, it’s definitely worth the few extra dollars.

As the menu changes seasonally, we look forward to another trip on the Q Train soon.

Anniversary Delight Having been on the train for a dinner ride and thoroughly enjoyed it, we booked a lunch ferry and dine for our anniversary. It’s was delightful, ferry ride and pick up from Bongo was smooth transitions and welcome aboard the train by staff exceptional. And the food was amazing. Next time we want to try 1st class for the trifecta

Superb meal whilst trundling through the Bellarine We thoroughly enjoyed the six-course degustation with matched wines in the comfort of the First Class section of the Q Train. The selection of locally sourced food and wine showcases why the Bellarine is the premier foodie peninsula in Victoria. Starting with the Port Phillip Bay Snapper Ceviche matched with Banks Road Pinot Grigio, was a flavour explosion. This was followed by the Lonsdale Tomato Drysdale Goat Cheese matched with Oneday Estate Rose. The flavours and the textures were expertly combined. Mount Moriac Sticky Soy Vinegar Beef was devoured whilst enjoying a Bellarine Estate Fume Blanc. The Great Ocean Duck Salad was so delicious with Ginger, Roast duck, green mango, honey, oyster mushrooms, Vietnamese mint, tatsoi, purple basil, garlic shoots and a crisp sesame cracker, the Oakdene Pinot Noir was a perfect match. The highlight of the meal was the Barongarook Pork Belly, it was crisp on the outside as it should be and unctuous on the inside, the Robin Brockett Amphora Syrah was an inspired wine to go with this stunning dish. the meal was topped off by a Lard A** Lemon Thyme Parfait. As Donkey states in Shrek, 'Everyone loves Parfait', and this is an excellent example of why, creamy, tart and delectable, the Jack and Jill Sparkling was a great option as well.

So the food is superb, the First Class is definitely the way to go if you want a quiet peaceful experience, eating great food and watching the changing landscape of the Bellarine Peninsula slowly pass by your window

There are a couple of stops on the journey, which gives a great opportunity to get off the train and stretch the legs. The cocktail list is well thought out and if you are in First Class, your personal waiter will bring them to your table, or alternatively, you can take a stroll down the train to the bar. All in all a fantastic experience which we will be doing again. An additional note to all those celiacs, all the dishes served were Gluten Free.

A journey to remember Booked for my wife's 50th birthday. Great experience. We took the first class option as it comes with paired with wines and your own room. The food is amazing, it's degustation so don't think it's 250g of ribeye and mounds of potato.

Staff are attentive and informed about the local wines and local produce. You get to get off at stations and walk around, talk to people if you want.

All in all, a great night.
