About Woolstore Geelong

Woolstore Geelong strips the guesswork from upscale dining with a generous Trust the Chef sharing feast across Newtown. The kitchen rolls out up to 14 dishes over multiple courses—think rich chicken liver mousse, crisp-skinned Aylesbury duck crown with citrus sauce, and barramundi steamed in banana leaf. Tables celebrate birthdays and milestones under moody industrial lighting while staff tailor courses for coeliac and pregnancy requirements before anyone even unfolds a napkin. Diners wrap up the evening over deconstructed pavlova and custom cocktails without feeling shortchanged.

  • Trust the Chef Feasts: Up to 14 communal plates spanning two to four courses, from chicken liver mousse to duck crown and barramundi.
  • Proactive Dietary Care: Kitchen accommodates pregnancy, coeliac, and allergy needs prior to arrival without compromising the progression.
  • Milestone Celebrations: Attentive service and a dedicated mezzanine setting suited for birthdays, anniversaries, and family milestones.

Why Diners Choose Woolstore Geelong

How Woolstore Geelong delivers multi-course tasting menus, tailored dietary care, and seamless celebrations.

  • Multi-Course Sharing Banquets

    Guests can relinquish ordering decisions to the kitchen with multi-course set sharing banquets featuring up to 14 distinct dishes across several courses.

    We chose to “trust the chefs” (seems to be a popular option) & went big with 4 courses (total of 14 dishes).

  • Duck

    the dry-aged Aylesbury duck crown was the absolute star of the show. The skin was perfectly crispy, and the meat was so soft and tender, pairing up beautifully with the amazing orange-based sauce.

  • Barramundi

    The Humpty Doo barramundi was also phenomenal, with ultra-soft flesh oozing with a lemongrass and shiso broth, all packed with flavor inside a banana leaf.
