Built in 1908, this Edwardian heritage-listed building has long been a meeting place in Hepburn Springs. It features magnificent stained glass windows, a beautiful tiled floor and vaulted ceiling, which combine to create a unique and welcoming environment for those visiting the Mineral Springs Reserve.
“This is all seriously good food at great prices, complemented by a historic backdrop of beautiful parquet floors and stunning leadlight windows, where people have been dining since 1908”.
Donna Kelly, The Advocate
After a recent refurbishment, the Hepburn Pavilion Café provides an atmospheric venue for breakfast, lunch, and morning and afternoon tea. Settle in to the lounges by the wood-burning slow combustion stove, or sit at the outside tables and make the most of the warm sunshine. Either way, the Pavilion Café is the perfect place for a healthy snack or indulgent coffee and cake after roaming around the Mineral Springs Reserve, or as part of your Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa experience.
The constantly-changing menu may include choices such as Chef Beck Davern’s famous Pan-Fried Gnocchi, or Salt and Pepper Calamari. For a sample menu, click here.
All the Pavilion’s fabulous cakes and pastries are made in-house by Chris Edwards, formerly Pastry Chef at The Dorchester and the Ritz in London and Sydney’s Restaurant 41. Take your pick from the day’s selections or alternatively enjoy a classic Devonshire Tea with freshly baked scones, house-made jam and cream, accompanied by your choice of tea or coffee.
The Pavilion Café is licensed and offers a selection of wines and beers.
Hepburn Pavilion Café winter opening hours:
Monday to Friday: 11am to 4pm
Saturday and Sunday: 10am to 4pm.
Back to the Bathhouse
Irrepressible singer, actress, comedian, and all-round star Bette Midler conquered the worlds of stage, screen, song, and television with her big, brassy voice and larger-than-life personality. The diva got her start in 1971, performing at New York’s Continental Baths (an opulent gay sauna).This season launched her booming career. Now, almost 40 years later, the exuberant Mzzz Erin Tasmania invites you Back to the Bathhouse – for an extraordinary homage to the divine Miss M, and those revolutionary performances in 1971.
This unique show is set in a two appropriately lavish settings - one being Melbourne’s favourite gay bathhouse - ‘Wet on Wellington’, and the other being the delightfully camp ‘Madame Brussels’. And during ChillOut 2010, the Pavilion Café is proud to present ‘Back to the Bathhouse’ for two performances only. Click here for more information and ticketing information.
Closed Period in February
The Hepburn Pavilion Cafe and Hepburn Bathhouse & Spa will be closed from Tuesday 16th - Tuesday 23rd February 2010. We will reopen again on Wednesday 24th February 2010.
