Red Poppy Bistro - Ararat

During our travels, we stopped at this restaurant for lunch and found the venue to be great and the staff really nice. However, we were disappointed with the food - the satay skewers had no satay, the chips were cold, and the salad had no dressing. We were unable to eat it and left very disappointed.

If you're looking for a place to eat in Ararat on a Sunday, head to Ararat RSL. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is fantastic, the meals are generous and delicious, and the pricing is reasonable. Highly recommended.

Visiting Ararat while staying at Moyston. Main menu was a variety of chicken schnitzels and chicken dishes but there was a specials menu that had a roast and a beef schnitzel choice. Partner had beef schnitzel, chips and gravy (only plain gravy available) and I had roast lamb. We sat out on the balcony overlooking the park so we could have our dog tied up on the fencing next to us. Meal was quickly delivered. My partner said his beef schnitzel was grissley. Lamb roast came with boiled/roast potatoes, peas, mint sauce, parsnip and carrots and gravy. Was a good portion.

Clean and good decorService was friendly but no one helped with signing in or how to order food etc Garlic cob bread was so dry that the knife broke trying to cut through it parmi and barramundi, while good serves, were not very flavoursome disappointed as was recommended by hotel we stayed in

My wife and I ate dinner at the red poppy during an overnight stay in Ararat. The service was quick, food was excellent, and reasonably priced. Do try the fried Banana desert you won't regret it.
