The Mess & Barracks

If you’re exploring Ararat and the stunning Grampians region, make sure to stop by **The Mess & Barracks**—it’s a hidden gem! I recently discovered this charming spot during my solo travels around Australia, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by warm smiles and exceptional customer service, making me feel right at home. The coffee is absolutely top-notch, perfect for kickstarting your day or enjoying a leisurely afternoon break. The all-day dining menu offers a delightful variety of dishes that cater to all tastes, ensuring you’ll find something to satisfy your cravings.

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it an ideal place to relax and soak in the local vibe. Plus, the venue is fully licensed, which adds to the overall experience. It’s also impressive to see their commitment to the community, as they provide emergency accommodation for veterans in need, reflecting their strong affiliation with the RSL.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, don’t miss the chance to visit The Mess & Barracks. It’s more than just a dining spot; it’s a place where you can enjoy great food and coffee while supporting a worthy cause. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
