Chally's Bar and Bistro - Ararat

As someone who has Celiac disease, dining out can sometimes be challenging. However, yesterday morning I enjoyed a delicious Gluten Free breakfast of Eggs Benedict at Chally's Bar and Bistro. The service was excellent.

I recently tried the crispy skin barramundi at Chally and it was absolutely delicious. The fish just melted in my mouth and it was my favorite meal yet at this restaurant. Chef Bec always cooks amazing dishes, but this one was exceptional. Well done, Chef Bec!

We absolutely adore Chally and it has become our go-to restaurant in the neighborhood for lunch, brunch, or dinner. The staff is fantastic and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The dishes are expertly prepared and beautifully served...a big thank you to everyone!

Last night was 5 stars for the food. Bec was the chef and the eating was exceptional. A quick spin around the table of 7 resulting in a 9/10 average. Francesca loved her crispy skinned barra, Kay smiled her way through the prosciutto chicken, Rick's chicken pot pie was very ephemeral, John rejoiced in his fish and chips and Peter's dish was savored. Pam and I chose the slow-cooked beef cheek: if unctuous is the watchword on slow-cooked beef then Bec's creation hits and exceeds the benchmark. The cheek was a gelatinous and fall-apart piece of culinary wizardry which almost floated on a bed of super light celeriac and an intense sauce reduction. A nice flourish was what tasted like parsnip crisps which added a texture that otherwise would have been missed. Overall, it was an immensely pleasurable dining experience.

My favourite place to go out for a delicious meal, with the best kids corner so we can actually relax while the kids play
