Welcome to The Surly Goat.

The Surly Goat is a restaurant in Hepburn Springs offering an evolving set menu—a sense of place, seasonality and honest imperfection.

We're driven by flavour, seasonality, and a deep respect for the land and the people who grow our food. Since opening in 2016, we've evolved into a space where ingredients take centre stage, showcased through our ever-changing four-course prix-fixe menu. Each dish reflects our connection with passionate local and small-scale regenerative producers—Mt Franklin Organics, Inglenook Dairy, Adsum Farmhouse, Bundarra Berkshire, Yapunyah Meadow and Great Ocean Ducks, among many other growers, artisans and foraged local goods.

4-course Tasting Menu $98pp

Our wine and beverage selection follows the same philosophy: considered, small-scale, and thoughtfully curated. Selected local and international wines sit alongside house-made cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages.

The experience is relaxed but precise. Unfussy but intentional. Every detail, from the produce to the plate, is a pursuit of flavour in its purest form.

We look forward to welcoming you.
