Leisurely lunch We received a gift voucher for the QTrain and were thrilled that it exceeded our expectations. Staff greet you warmly on arrival and from then until you return, the service is excellent. The six course degustation provided a wide range of courses showcasing local produce and beer and wines. All of the courses were delicious and 'a picture on a plate' but highlights were the lamb shoulder and pork belly. Stops at Suma Park and Queenscliff provide an opportunity to stretch the legs and enjoy the views of Swan Bay even in the drizzling rain. Highly recommended if you are visiting the Bellarine.

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

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!

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

Wonderful degustation A birthday treat from my sister. Wonderful service, excellent local foods beautifully presented, brilliant wines and a relaxed atmosphere

Great Day trip from Melbourne We caught the fast Port Phillip catamaran ferry from Docklands, about an hour and a half to Port Arlington, thence 20 minutes by bus to Queenscliff to catch the Q train, which consists of dining carriages originally built for the Queensland Sunlander, and recently renovated. The lunch was 5 courses of interesting locally sourced food, attractively presented, no doubt in a manner to appeal to Instagram enthusiasts. The train follows a short but scenic route beside Swan Bay, then, after a half hour stop at Drysdale, makes a leisurely return to Queenscliff. Drinks are available from the bar. We returned by bus back to Port Arlington to catch the return ferry trip, arriving back shortly before 6pm. A most pleasant scenic and relaxing day, ideal for a special occasion. More

Fabulous experience My wife and I went on the train last Saturday evening. It was a fantastic evening. Food was absolutely delicious. Staff were first class. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended

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

Aboutsouly fantastic We traveled in first class which we could not fault service food and matching wines.

You could tell so much hard work and dedication has gone into food and wine choices and staff knowledge on each course.

Saturday lunch on the Qtrain What an amazing experience. Meandering slowly through the meadows, farms and to the ocean from Drysdale to Queenscliff on the Qtrain, enjoying a 6 course degustation menu, sipping wine with friends was fantastic. A truly once in a lifetime experience. Great service, sensational food, and a wonderful ambience.
