Q Train fun What a great day! Staff professional and friendly. Cocktails superb. Food delightful. Scenery resplendent with newborn lambs frolicking in green paddocks. Travellers all having fun. What’s not to love??

Total treat A terrific treat of a birthday present for my 50th was a first class degustation experience on board the Q Train. We were welcomed beautifully and settled in to our compartment for two as the Queenslander train slowly chuffed out of the Station. The six course menu with beverages was delicious and faultless, served with professionalism and balance. I’m telling everyone I know.....and even you all who I don’t know! Book it!

Lunch time degustation meal Fantastic food, great wine matching from local vineyards & great service. Our waiter Matt was informative & fun to chat with. A great day out

What a way to spend a day! What a wonderful train experience. We got on at the old Drysdale station and headed towards Queenscliff at a ver leisurely pace, probably 10 kph. We booked a table for 6 as part of a 50th wedding anniversary. The magnificent food consisted of 6 courses and was delightful. The train stopped at a little siding called Suma Park named after the old homestead, then onto Queenscliff station. Thoroughly recommend it!

Unique dining experience Lovely dining experience travelling through the pretty countryside of the Bellarine Penisula. Delicious menu, created from local produce. Excellent service from staff.

A leisurely Sunday afternoon treat It was a perfect day for a train journey through the Bellarine countryside, eating excellent local produce and chatting the afternoon away with special friends. The food served was delicious- from the Summer Picnic baskets with goats cheese, roasted pumpkin, pickles and local butter through to the scummy deconstructed Strawberry Parfait with meringue and honeycomb. Everything was so tasteful, beautifully presented and all from local produce. Portion sizes were small, but not tiny. However we had 8 courses, including a palette cleanser, and I had more than elegant sufficiency by the time the journey ended. I was more than satisfied.

The Q train is not just about the food, it is an experience of a slower world where there is time to converse at length with friends, linger over food and wine, and watch the world go by. When was the last time you had a long, three hour lunch?

It is definitely a special treat as it is expensive but not outrageously so when the experience is considered, not just the food.

It would be lovely if coffee was included in the price. I would have enjoyed a coffee to finish but didn’t want to pay for it. Brewed coffee is not expensive to provide.

The staff were delightful- friendly, knowledgeable, helpful but not intrusive. Booking process was very easy.

It would be an experience I would like to repeat again, definitely.

Thank you to The Q train team.

Outstanding I could not fault this dining experience. Wow, absolutely magnificent. What a great way to while away 3 1/2 hours. As one in our party said, ' it's so relaxing ' . We were greeted warmly on our our arrival at the station. We had a table for six ( there's only two, one at each end so book early if this is needed ) and is was beautifully set up. The six courses were mouth watering and well presented. The staff also made our trip, really attentive and friendly and nothing a problem. There's a drinks carriage you can go to at the beginning but then the staff get the drinks for you.

It's lovely travelling along eating fab food and admiring the countryside. There are a couple of stops so you can stretch your legs.

To top it off the chef came and introduced himself to each table at the end and we all thought that was a great touch.

Fabulous dining experience, thank you Q Train.

A modern twist on a Bygone era. An anniversary gift from my husband, we combined a dinner on the Q Train with an overnight stay at Drysdale House Bed & Breakfast - a truly wonderful experience.

The gorgeous B & B was opposite the Drysdale station, where our train journey began. The train has been loveling restored into a 5 star dining restaurant. We took the first class experience, a 6 course dinner with matching wines, served in an old sleeper compartment which has been remodeled into an intimate dining area for two. The food was delicious and all of the produce comes from local suppliers, as did the wines. The service was brilliant, the staff were all very knowledgeable, friendly & attentive. The train journeys along the old Bellarine Pennisula tourist railway, with gorgeous views of the surrounding area. One of the highlights was watching the sunset over Swan Bay. We had two stops to stretch our legs during the journey. For that next special occasion, I definitely give the Q Train a big thumbs up! More

Elgance and old world charm We had an amazing time on our trip with the q train. Food was amazing, the wines excellent, and for the train Geek, it was mind blown. Matt, Daniel, and Andrew made our visit. Can't wait to do this trip again. Thanks for a unique, elegant dining and train experience.

Anniversary treat for ourselves My wife and I treated ourselves to a package which included a ferry ride from Docklands, bus drive to Drysdale and a Degustation meal on the Q Train. All elements came together and the meal was delicious.

The train travels between Drysdale and Queenscliff on a heritage rail line. The whole train journey takes about 3 hours and the meals are spread out during this time.

We opted for the first class vegetarian menu which included matched wines for each course. The meals and wines complemented each other, and our waiter Tim was helpful explaining the finer points of our meals. The meals aren’t large but all are interesting.

In conclusion the Q Train is a fun way to have a great meal. If you do the package from Docklands it will be a long day but it is great fun and great food and service More
